    APPLE AIRTAGS THE NEW BIKE LOJACK?

    The AirTag fits inside an S-Works carbon fiber handlebar stem. That’s going to be a problem for a bike thief. There is no shortage of places to hide this biscuit.

    Specialized Creo (all models) - Longest Rides/Biggest Climbs

    I’d say you’re in great shape for someone 10 years younger. Best of luck to you on your B2B ride. I’ll enjoy following your cross country adventure.

    A small spacer between the Creo Extended Range battery cage and bike frame

    I wonder if that spacer keeps the screw from hitting the seat post.

    A small spacer between the Creo Extended Range battery cage and bike frame

    The Creo parts bag includes mounting bolts and spacer(s) for a fender/rack. You have the Vado SL 5 EQ, which comes with the fender and rack already installed, so no extra fender parts or spacers in the Vado bag. If you later decide to mount fenders on the Creo, you’ll need that spacer, which...

    APPLE AIRTAGS THE NEW BIKE LOJACK?

    Found a compartment under the bottom bracket of my Salsa, non electric. It is for routing wires and hiding weed. Perfect for an AirTag with the speaker removed.

    A small spacer between the Creo Extended Range battery cage and bike frame

    My bumpers look nothing like that spacer. Like I said, my S-Works Creo includes a RE. It came preinstalled. No factory spacer. But if you want to use a bumper as a spacer, give it a go. The only problem is you won’t have a bottle battery bottom bumper buffer anymore.

    A small spacer between the Creo Extended Range battery cage and bike frame

    My Vado RE (same part # as Creo) didn’t come with any spacers. I installed without. My S-Works Creo came with the RE cage preinstalled, again no spacers. That rubber grommet is a bumper to protect the bottle battery bottom from bumps.

    Two E-Creo issues: Range Extender depletion/Firmware Update

    Something failed. I haven’t done the latest update, but I have data there. Maybe you need to update Mission Control? No idea what’s up with that.

    Two E-Creo issues: Range Extender depletion/Firmware Update

    I’ve had five years of good experiences with Stromer OTA firmware updates. I have no doubt about your experience with Giant, but bad experiences are not defined by the method of delivery. I get reliable and hassle free OTA updates for my iPhone, Mac, Garmin, SRAM, and Windows devices. (The OTA...

    Using 2 Range Extenders on one long ride-best strategy?

    How do you know that? I’ve never seen that in Specialized’s documentation. It makes sense, but I’ve only read documentation that says the Creo pulls power equally, not preferentially.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Roval wheels are built to order. Have them built with the same discs as the Carbon Comp. You’re good to go.

    Chamois Necessary For Long Tours: A Myth

    I stopped wearing padded cycling shorts this year. The thicker the padding, the more likely was numbness. I switched to triathlete shorts, which ride cool and have minimal padding. Zoot is a good triathlete brand. I usually wear them under shorts, otherwise they’re just too sexy.

    The ultimate bike saddle for the sensitive male

    I don’t think I’ve ever spent that little on a saddle. However, if a saddle that ugly solves a problem, then they can ask whatever they want. It certainly is not for the average rider. It’s for a rider with a specific issue in their tissue. Numb nuts isn’t fun.

    An Airtag will fit into the motor cover on a Domane+ HP.

    You‘re on the right track. An AirTag is just one part of an overall strategy to protect your bike. It isn’t a strategy in and of itself. It is simply a tactic, one of many layers of security you can use, along with a lock, situational awareness, and common sense, among others. The AirTag is...
