    specialized creo 2

    Both are awesome, but for the same price (and as a former S-Works Diverge owner) I’d definitely get the Creo 2.

    specialized creo 2

    It has excelled for me this last few weeks for exactly that.

    specialized creo 2

    Excellent review! I’ve got the Comp, and all I’ve had to change out was the stem. I’ll almost certainly swap out the wheelset at some point but, in contrast to your experience, I’ve found the dropper very useful on the rides I’ve done in the few weeks I’ve had the bike here in NZ. I’ve taken it...

    Creo 2 vs Cervelo Rouvida

    Forgot to add - the Creo 2 will take up to a 2.2” inch tire and comes with 47mm on it. It’s smooth.

    Creo 2 vs Cervelo Rouvida

    No worries - ask away.

    Creo 2 vs Cervelo Rouvida

    If it helps, the Creo 2 goes from one surface to another seamlessly and without any adjustment needed to the bike whatsoever.

    Creo 2 vs Cervelo Rouvida

    Hey there, it’s a Garmin Edge 840 that I mount with a K-Edge out front mount.

    Creo 2 vs Cervelo Rouvida

    I‘ve got a Creo 2 Comp. So far, it’s the best bike of any kind I’ve ever owned…by a significant margin. Yesterday I rode about 110km and 1070m of elevation on it, with about 60% gravel, 20 tar seal, and the remainder a mix of lime path and tarmac. It was incredible comfortable throughout, the...

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    My pleasure - another recommendation is the Polar Verity Sense optical strap HR. It’s incredibly reliable, no hassle to wear, and has worked really well for me running, on my Concept2, road and MTB cycling.

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    Nope. It should recognise it when you add a new sensor.

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    The app HeartCast should be what you need. Once you’ve got it running your Nyon should see the Watch the same as any other BRLE HR monitor.

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    It’s really more the fact that HR rebroadcast isn’t allowed on Apple Watch by default. It can, however, be enabled with a third party app.

    Nyon Display

    Apple Watch can absolutely rebroadcast if your app uses the phone as a relay. There are numerous apps that do it in existence now. The Polar Verity Sense allows simultaneous connections and has worked well for me across several sports. I’d recommend it.

    Nyon Display

    I mention the Apple Watch because it’s the best selling watch on Earth, is regarded as the benchmark product in the category, and because the alternative watches you mention are obsolete the day they’re released (Tizen has just been killed off). As for Polar, I’ve used their straps, watches and...

    Nyon Display

    Not “any smart watch” - just the Apple Watch, which is a very simple developer task when compiling the iOS app for eBike Connect. As for it over complicating things, it’s quite the opposite. One thing Nyon lacks right now is the ability for the rider to choose the start and stop point of their...

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    Hmm, not sure I'd agree with "Apple does not play well with others". What's missing here is an Apple Watch companion app for eBike Connect. For anyone who isn't a developer, asking your app to also compile for Apple Watch in Xcode really isn't a very big deal. Yes, Polar's optical sensors are...

    Nyon Display

    Hmm. So my 2021 Load 60 light should turn on and off with the Nyon light button??

    Nyon Display

    Kia ora Stephen! I have a few feature requests. Firstly, I absolutely love the new Nyon, and the eBike Connect web service is really nice. What I would to see added: 1. Integration with Apple Health (the COBI smartphone hub app already offers this - why not on the top of the line Nyon?). 2. An...

    2020 Riese & Müller Load Review

    Chris - hi from New Zealand. Your excellent videos have played a large part in us choosing to go for a Load 60. I’m having a tough time finding out one or two small things and wondered if you might be able to help - if I order the high sidewalls and child cover, does the tarpaulin come anyway...
