I had an annoying rattle that I traced to the TCU cables. If you remove the TCU from the top tube, you will find there are two cables but only one is connected (to the motor?). The loose end of the second was bouncing around when I rode over rough surfaces. I solved the rattle by wrapping the...

I have a motorcycle friend that works that idea. He buys new bikes on a regular basis and he told me that as long as he stayed with the same color, his wife has never noticed. :D

I test rode both the Creo road and EVO models. The dealer said the dropper post and wider tires added about 2 pounds to the bike. Other than the dropper post, flared bars, and wider tires, the two models are exactly the same (except for the color choices). I really liked the Ghost Pearl/Rocket...

To give you an idea of range, I did a ride of 50 miles with 4,500’ elevation gain. The first 8 miles were relatively flat with slight hills. At 15% boost, I only used 2% of the battery. The 17 mile climb ate up 74% of the battery. The first 8 miles of the climb were done at 15% boost but the...

I assume that when you say mudguard you mean fenders. The Creo does have attachment points for front and rear fenders and threaded holes in the rear triangles for mounting a rack. Unfortunately, there are no mounting points up by the seat post for the front of the rack. You have to replace the...

They misspelled "CENTER". LOL

I read the online operating manual for my Shimano GRX derailleur and came away with the understanding (right or wrong) that leaving the clutch OFF when riding on the road would make shifting smoother. As Sierratim said, having it in the ON position when riding off pavement will reduce chain slap.

I reset my TCD by holding down both buttons for 2 seconds then releasing. This resets not only the trip but also ride time, max speed, and everything else, with the exception of the total mileage (odometer). The odometer figure comes from the motor electronics. I had the motor changed on my Creo...

Love your stories Stefan but I really stumble when you throw in the Polish names. o_O

Your assumption was correct. I had my 3 levels set to 15/15, 35/35, 60/60. I’m think I’m going to have to retract my statement on how the motor reacts to rider input. Two days ago I rode one of my usual routes; 35 mile loop with 1,250’ elevation gain. I ride it almost exclusively in 15/15...

I’ve often thought that for those mid-drive bikes, a nice feature would be to somehow lock the crank when the motor is off. Those bikes with hub drives could be designed to lock the wheel when the motor is off. It would necessitate using a key or fob to turn the bike on/off. Not being able to...

I’ve done exactly that, although I’ve never used the 100% setting. I have checked the Rider and Motor figures when riding in the 35% and the Motor power is 35% of the Rider power, not 70%. If I apply 200 watts, the Motor power is reported very close to 70 watts (200 x 0.35).

As I understand it, I think this is what you meant to say. If you can't maintain 240 watts on your own, you will not see full power output from the motor. In full 100% mode, if you are only producing 200 watts then the motor will only add 200 watts. If Specialized offered a 150% power option...

I just thought that a glance would allow you compare Mission Control to your Garmin in real time. I used one of the TCD mounts with an old iPhone so the display is easily visible.

If you’re using Mission Control, you can go to Let’s Ride > Stats and set two of the 6 display windows to Rider Power and Motor Power. I use these to see how much, if any, boost the motor is delivering. They display the current values so there is no historical data. You have to view them while...

Off Topic: Stefan, in your your new tag photo are you receiving a ticket? Maybe for your clothing being too distracting? LOL

My Yamaha Wabash started making noises much like that, although not that loud. I could feel the grinding in the pedals. The dealer finally replaced the motor after me bugging them for about 3 weeks.

I think the ideal solution would be to utilize the left brake/shifter. Being that the Creo has a single chainring, this unit is not functional for shifting. It wouldn't have to be designed to shift both directions, just cycle through 1,2,3,1 same as the TCU. A quick tap from the hoods or drops...

Interesting conversation regarding the 2A and 4A chargers. My Creo came with a 54.6V, 3A charger (model SBC-C06). Perhaps it's the best of both worlds. ;)

Isn't the cassette an 11/42? My Creo runs the GRX setup and the derailleur is rated to handle a max 42T rear. I also have the 46T chainring.
