    Panniers for Turbo Vado SL EQ 5.0

    I am using the Ortlieb "front" roller panniers (bright yellow) on the rear of my Creo. There are a lot of adjustment points that can be angled and rotated to grab racks in all sorts of ways. The rollup avoids the zippers and the yellow is far from khaki!!!

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Can't help with getting chains back on. My Creo now has a small thingie mounted to keep the chain from jumping off (and getting jammed between the chainring and the motor housing). It just takes fiddling and as you found - Wowwie - it is back on!!! But, yes, the chain will self-correct as you...

    Cheap and Easy Fix to Protect Turbo Como Battery Terminals From Accidental Touches

    Nice work. I'm still sure someone will jump to Specialize's defence in any event although I read about these battery blowouts too often. Clearly, it was an issue that Specialized recognized.

    Thorn Resistant Tubes

    I purchased a used bike to keep at my sister's place in Tucson. On the last day of one vacation, yup, goathead. I was pissed and had no time to fuss with it. Figured I'd deal with it the next time I came down!!! She moved to LA and moved the bike there for me. I much preferred riding around...

    I like the down East, UP north accent of Mainers. Not enamored of my fellow New Yawkers Brooklyn accent. But then again, I was on a visit a long while ago and asked my sister what kind of accent was at the next table. She said they were from The Bronx, like us!!!! It was so distinct that I...

    Oh, that's good to know as the squirrels building nests under my solar panels are well protected from hail storms! Damn critters!

    Well, what do you expect. We in North America speak real English. None of this posh British stilted stuff! :eek:

    2022 Vado: Turbo Basket and Tailwind Panniers

    Just yesterday I altered the fit/location of my Ortlieb pannier. I did not get heel strike but it was not quite far enough back so that it engaged fully withtout bouncing around on the rack just a bit. I had not even looked what I will call the upper track adjustment for the clips. Wow, so...

    2022 Creo Evo remote buttons, the Mastermind TCU and Mission Control

    Well, not that I have the power up/down buttons on the handlebar, I only use the top tube thingie to turn the bike on. I really, really do not miss looking between my legs and reaching there to change the power. Plus I did not like the cycle power button press sequence. Press up, Press Up...

    2022 Creo Evo remote buttons, the Mastermind TCU and Mission Control

    I was going to tell you that. Although, I still find it awkward to get both buttons pressed at the same time, like about an hour ago. The TCD is not tied to the bike's other controls like Mission Control. Although, you need Mission control to update the TCD. Oh, Specialized does not have to...

    2022 Creo Evo remote buttons, the Mastermind TCU and Mission Control

    That's why I added the Credo remote buttons to my bike. I just did not find it user/biker friendly to have to peer between my legs and then hit the button to increase->decrease power. @GeoAZUSA Hope you get an answer. I've got the older model Creo.

    A distant but familiar sound - broken spoke

    Ah, yes, "rear sensor"!!!!! The shop called the next morning and said the broken spoke and another were fixed. I drove to pick it up as it was already too hot. The shop closes at 6pm and called at 4:30pm. "There's a slight glitch!" After a brief inquiry - the guy found my lock disc on his...

    @Djangodog "Maxfield Parrish painting." You aptly describe your scenery. Now for some slightly different scenery that we have discussed. Fire Lookouts in Washington State. The article has some great pictures and history. Can you imagine, there were over 600 at one time and down to less...
