    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Any ideas on my chainring having a little give when rocking back and forth? Tight bolts for the spider, and also tight for the 1 little bolt between the chain ring and spider. When I ride over bumps, the area rattles.

    Specialized Creo SL Expert versus Giant Road-e Pro?

    My first eBike was the Giant Quick+ E with the main difference with the Road e being fenders and drop bar. My second eBike was the Creo just purchased late last year. Aside from the power, which has been discussed prior in this thread is the feel of aluminum vs. carbon. Often, my hands and...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Anybody know if this metal washer belongs to the Creo and where it would go? I had my rear tire serviced for a flat and when I got the bike back, the washer was stuck to the magnetic portion of the outside rear hub.

    What is Error Code 144?

    Hi guys, I am also getting Error 144 but I haven't brought it to the shop for any firmware updates. For me, this happens at the highest assist mode, when using lots of torque and usually when the battery is down to less than 1/3 capacity. Never had it happen when the battery is above 75%. I...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Multiple reviews on amazon say they have had success reusing the SRAM PowerLocks. I don't think any manufacturer would put reusable in writing though, and would suggest one time use

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Surprised these Creo bikes don't come with chains that have quicklinks. In case anyone wants to put in a quicklink for easier chain maintenance, went with SRAM version that they dub the "SRAM PowerLock" which is compatible with these Shimano chains per the Amazon reviews.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I have most records in my area since I set my rides to "eBike" instead of "ride" for the analog bike riders. What's interesting is that in my area, there are so many strong riders that they beat my eBike speeds. Crazy. Advisory: If you switch to eBike, most segments will disappear and will...

    Specialized - Spec'd Chain Lube?

    Yep, Finish Line is probably one of the highest regarded chain lubes. I lube usually every 50-100 miles, I'm in Southern California so I use Finish Line's Dry lube lube.

    Creo SL 1x Chainguide?

    Me neither, but I've experienced it on my Giant eBike and it's the worst! Did get a chain guide from Amazon for the Giant, and in the Giant forum one innovative fellow used the motor mount and shaped his own DIY chain guide attached via the bolts for the motor mount. So, if that ever becomes a...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Since I hate changing tires on the side of the road, usually I put in tire liners right away after getting a new bike but I let this Creo SL slide for a bit. Wanted to see what local eKOMs I could break before potentially slowing down the rolling resistance with tire liners. Did another ride...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    From what I gather, the calories are calculated based on the total output from the power meter, regardless of assist mode.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Got a well rated luggage scale and weighed my base carbon model "Creo SL Comp Carbon." Weight additions from factory include SPD pedals for MTB, carbon fiber bottle cages and garmin front mount. Only removals were the clear cassette disc on the rear wheel. 13.12 kg (28.9 lbs)

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Yea probably the low entry price for the aluminum models. The guy said he got it used for 3k, then did a gravel conversion including tubeless and GRX Di2 resulting in a 33lbs bike. It's probably still under the price of the lowest aluminum Creo model.

    Anyone remove the bar end plug? I unscrewed and pulled and even used a plastic pry tool but it just doesn't want to go. EDIT: Nevermind, I was able to remove it with some effort.

    Mission Control with a Garmin or Wahoo

    Using this thread to compare and contrast Mission Control, Wahoo, and Garmin using the eBike sensor on my Specialized Creo. I import everything into Strava. TLDR: Garmin works best when connected to the eBike sensor, and most accurate in moving time, distance, and elevation. NOTE: Everything...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I have a similar carbon fiber kick stand called the "Corki kick stand" but only for my 18lb analog bike. It also has a holder that attaches to the cup holder but the weight of a 30lb Creo would be a risky endeavour.
