I have two of the Power Mirror saddles. Super comfortable and they conform to your backside like no other. It, like the Selle Anatomica, cured all of my issues on the road: numb nuts and butt pain. If the SA didn’t work for you, the Power with Mirror would be the next step. They come in two sit...

Jeff, You know to stand off the saddle over bumps, right? Off road with the Selle Anatomica can stretch the leather pretty quickly. If you’re riding an EVO, then you’re probably already handling it light in the saddle on gravel. The Creo is loads of fun on gravel. I ❤️ it!

It works for me. What doesn’t work is BLEvo and Mission Control simultaneously.

Roch, I’ve been through a lot of saddles. Now I have three Selle Anatomica saddles, so I like them. They’re great. If they ever get uncomfortable I just tighten the bolt to stretch the leather and they’re instantly back to form. SA is good for hours of comfortable road riding. I recently bought...

Thats right. Your E5 comes with the Future Shock 1.5, same as the Vado SL 5.0. The Creo S-Works, Expert, and Comp models all come with the adjustable Future Shock 2.0.

Oh, sorry for any miscommunication. My Vado SL 5.0 EQ came with the unadjustable FutureShock preinstalled. The Creo’s FS is adjustable. I was just saying that people in general are also happy with the other shock absorbing stems. The FS is my first and only experience with the device. I agree...

It’s like gelled sandpaper. I started using it after I installed a Selle Anatomica seat with carbon fiber rails. It kept slipping backward. The gel solved that problem. Now I just use it wherever there’s a CF friction fitting.

I could tell a difference between on and off for the FS. I run them on the hardest setting that isn’t locked. That may be because I have CF forks, CF handlebars, and low pressure tubeless tires. FS only makes a difference to me on the biggest bumps – the ones that get past the tires, forks, and...

I have both on my Creo and Vado. But I’m running supple tires tubeless at 35 psi. All I can tell you is it feels harsh if I run them at 45 psi. It would probably be worse without them, but CF forks and FutureShock only do so much.

Not entirely true. I put my AirTag inside my e-bike’s aluminum frame, under the power switch. Works perfectly. I put another inside a carbon fiber handlebar stem, works perfectly. I put a third AirTag inside the bottom bracket of another carbon fiber bike. Works perfectly. All three are safe...

Try the minimum, then try lower. The stock tires on my Vado listed something like 50 psi as minimum pressure, which is ridiculously high. Not sure what you’re riding, but I replaced the stock Vado tires with supple 40mm WTB Byways at 35psi, tubeless. Results: Magic carpet ride. Don’t want...

Yes. Be sure to use carbon fiber assembly gel. Use it anywhere a carbon fiber component is installed with a friction fit or clamp.

Redshift makes a shock absorbing stem with good reviews. There are a couple of other options as well.

It’s a little more complicated than that. The 2020 S-Works Creos came with Shimano Di2. The 2021 bikes, EVO and road, both come with SRAM Eagle. Both years are listed on the Specialized website side-by-side, you can only tell them apart by price and paint. So the shops are correct, the bikes...

I bought the S-Works Creo. It comes with a SRAM Eagle 12-speed mullet setup: 10-50t cassette, eTap AXS shifting, 46t chainring. I already had this setup on my Salsa Warroad, so it was an easy decision. (The Warroad didn’t come with the SRAM Eagle setup though. I upgraded the whole drivetrain...

Interesting. You’re talking about the Vado SL. I haven’t tried mine on a really steep single track climb yet. I have taken the Creo SL up single tracks so steep and rocky that MTBs only come down them. Same SL motor. My Creo has a 50t granny gear. It will climb walls if you stand up and lean out...

When I bought the Creo the dealer said there was a Specialized lighting kit/wiring harness for the bike. Probably the same wiring harness that comes stock on the Vado SL. Post #1 in this thread cites the part number.

Looks like the PDF I have was updated for the new TCU and the table is gone. Here’s a screen capture of part of the table. Follow Mode 19 across. It is 100/100 showing a 1:2 rider to motor ratio.

That’s what I thought. 1:1 watts at 100%. Makes sense to me. Others in this forum thought otherwise. The documentation explicitly states the otherwise view. I also find it confusing. I’m going to Google for you and see if I can find the documentation. I have a copy, but not the original link...

There’s nothing wrong with that, but you’re right. I’m wrong. I found the Mission Control manual PDF. It includes a table showing how much rider effort is matched by the bike. At 100%, Turbo, 100 watts of rider power gets 200 watts of bike power. Fifty percent is a “1x multiplier.” Thirty...
