    My chain is jumping off the chain ring on my Creo

    What is the part number? The motor mounts are the same between the Creo SL and Creo 2. The chain guide is attached to one of the motor mount bolts. I haven't dropped a chain since I switched to a Wolf Tooth chain ring and waxed chains. I was dropping chains at 4000 miles with the Praxis when...

    Creo have "walk assist mode"?

    Creo has 31.8mm bars. I bought a switch intending to do the dI2 left shifter switch mod and when I plugged it in for a test it didn't work. I can't remember if the Creo SL 2021 connector was missing two of the control wires or if it was a program setting that needs to be change by the shop...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Electronic shifting is very reliable. I've not heard of a component to going out unless damaged. I'm sure one has but it's rare. Electronic shifting is like a downhill or tailwind for your hands. Another advantage since is it's so much easier to shift so you will be more likely to always be...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Try shifting with just your little finger(s) for a couple weeks on mechanical shifters and then decide if electronic shifting is worth the upgrade. Your mitts are probably twice the size of hers.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Specialized has posted the Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 on the website. Now that the new Creo 2 aluminum frame version is out, it seems the Vado SL 2 should be somewhere on the way too? I think they will use the same frame and mix the forks sizes to get the Vado SL fit. Edited: The new Creo 2 Comp E5...

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 and Specialized App - Range Extender

    "Further, it no longer seems to support the "Use Range extender first" option." Discharge RE first option appears under Settings (Bike Settings) after the bike is ON and connected with a RE for my non-Mastermind Creo SL. You can have both BLEvo and Specialized installed as apps. If you want...

    Can One order Garmin Varias on 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0?

    I am using a Cirrus Kinekt suspension post and drilled a hole for the wire in the top post fitting to match where the mfg suggests. There is a photo of the drill location in this forum. I took the motor and battery out to run the wire from the TCU, down the battery compartment and up the seat...

    Can One order Garmin Varias on 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0?

    Garmin product page for Varia™ eRTL615 lists BLE and ANT+. Device specs: Wireless frequencies: 2.4 GHz @ 8 dBm maximum; 24 GHz @ 10 dBm maximum I use one on my Creo SL for a wired tail light and radar. The Varia is 1.5w @12 V. I used the Shimano cable with four wires, two twisted for...

    Turbo Vado not switching on

    It kind of sounds like what they talk about in this TSB. It's intended for shops but there may be some useful info. It's in the manuals listings for Turbo Vado. (Also since the charger plug connector is magnetic, check to make sure it didn't pick up some stray piece of metal.)...

    Upgrading Vado SL Shimano Drivetrain From 10 to 12-speed

    Not a SRAM person but it's my understanding the 12sp from either SRAM or Shimano is picky about mix and match and your brothers advice is probably correct. I sold the Vado SL 5.0 and everything I have now is 11sp. I went with 11-46 on my Creo and 42 front to get the lower gearing for hills...

    Creo rear thru axle spinning out

    I've had and seen loose levers on my Creo and others. I believe it's caused by taking the bike in and out of the back of the car(s) and the lever gets bumped. I have a Tailfin axle (similar to a RobertAxle) in the rear that requires a tool to remove and the front is the standard Specialized...

    2020 Vado 4.0 broken battery pin

    That is a similar problem we had on the Turbo models. I had to remove the battery every day to charge it at my work desk. Eventually I had an intermittent connection and replace the connector. I learned to carefully place the battery and not slam it. It looks like the Vado part is available...

    Wiring Diagram Vado SL ?

    I always wear a helmet and I use lights anytime I am riding but that wasn't the question. The Rider Workbook for the 2024 Turbo Creo 2 has a section on lights starting at page 31 and includes a wiring diagram. The systems are essentially identical to the Vado SL/Creo SL and eliminates some of...

    Headlight switch for Vado SL

    Reference Note - The Rider Workbook for the 2024 Turbo Creo 2 has a section on lights starting at page 31 and includes a wiring diagram. The systems are essentially identical to the Vado SL/Creo SL and eliminates some of the guesswork of what lights work with the system. Creo do not come with...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    A good reference is https://support.specialized.com. Lights are in the Vado SL section. Sometimes you need to look at the Creo section because even though they are the same system they don't duplicate all of the common information so something useful may be in one but not the other. There is...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    The wires connect to the system in the frame space under the TCU with two 3mm male spade connectors and possibly one of them is loose. Do a search for p/n S205800002 to find a photo of the spare part light with wire and connectors. The TCU screw is a very small Torx.

    Tubeless tire experiences

    If you are a light rider and you only get a flat every year or so, it's not worth it. If you are not riding the bike all of the time it's not worth it because the sealant dries out. I still carry two tubes, a pump and CO2. I average one flat every three or four months and tubeless allows...

    Brose Como motor propels without pedaling? Problem

    I had this happen with a 2015 Turbo S. The torque sensors were built into the hub motor, not repairable and I had to have the motor replaced. Your system is more modular and a Specialized LBS should be able diagnose. Hopefully it's just a dirty or repairable sensor.
