    Creo 2 Tires Alternatives for Road

    I can't find it but I saw a reference to the shop Turbo Studio being needed to change the circumference. I just changed my Creo 2 E5 tires from the delivery 700C x 38 to 700C x 48. I use a Garmin to record rides and not the app.

    Red Blue flashing

    The support page linked below has the error codes and has a picture of the TCU battery and instructions of how to remove it. The screw is a Torx T-10. Once you have the TCU accessed, I find the easiest method to remove the CR 1620 coin cell battery if you don't have three hands and a helper...

    Creo 1, S Works, KPH to MPH ?

    The Road Remote buttons on the handlebars were an accessory included on S-Works Creo SL models. It was an optional accessory that later became standard for all Creo models.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    It's amazing that Zinn can make bikes that fit the very tallest and also fairly short people. I was on a ride with a guy who's Zinn bike top bar was as high as my hip and I'm 6' feet. The bike had S&S couplers for travel and the stem was so long it had to have one too. When the owner was...

    Simple question on Vado cable routing

    It appears the empty clamp is for the brake cable. For some reason they never show the right side of bikes in photos.

    New S-Works Creo 1

    I don't know anything about the stock S-Works tires. The Creo 1 was setup as a road bike with gravel as secondary.

    New S-Works Creo 1

    The sealant dries out over time and will normally lose air quicker than a tubed tire. I check my pressure before every ride. I would never recommend tubeless for a rarely ridden bicycle.

    Creo 2 Tires Alternatives for Road

    Tubeless in general, moves the flat repair from outside at the side of the road to inside in the shop, garage or basement. It is not maintenance free. There are other benefits such as lower pressures and riding characteristics but if you are looking for maintenance free look elsewhere. Tire...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    I think the New York requirement for e-bikes to meet UL 2849 or similar certification, may drive some changes with other states/cities considering the same regulations. The Creo 2 E5 Comp is not that different from a current Vado SL. I expect with the market pressures the 1.2 motor Vado SL...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    I missed that. Would it be more accurately described as the dealer version of the site unless they have a lot of stores? I think they are sometimes treated like mushrooms too. My dealer was quite happy to have the business when I had it shipped to them. They can only see what's in stock for...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    I only see 2022 and 2023 models for the Vado SL filter on the US Specialized site.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    The Creo 2 Comp E5 briefly showed as available to order. I picked one up for a winter bike. It comes with a SGS UL 2849 certified sticker which may have been the delay.

    Creo and chainring/cassette configurations

    It depends which Park chain checker tool some are better than others. The Park CC-4 is inexpensive and considered accurate. Replace the chain at 0.5% stretch to keep your cassette and chain ring from early replacement.

    If they are a Specialized dealer they should have access to the full spares catalog and a contact at Specialized.

    Creo and chainring/cassette configurations

    I'm running a 11-46 cassette, Wolftooth 42 chainring and Shimano Deore XT Di2, Shadow Plus, 11-speed combo for the last 8k miles. I bought the Wolftooth extender but did not need it. I use a 116 link chain. i took the chain keeper off since it didn't really do anything. I had a dropped chain...

    Battery Range Experience for Specialized E-Bikes

    I'm not sure a RE is necessary for your use case. You are not pushing the range on any single ride. You could just do a short charge before your second ride if you plan to go a little further than your usual.

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    It's like cutting holes in an I-beam. Holes in the web are OK but holes in the flanges are not. The holes on the SL are on the flats (web). They may have put a doubler in around the TCU (don't know). From the Specialized Owners Manual Supplement. The Creo/Vado SL models are ASTM Condition...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    The plug is not a structural part so that would not generally be considered a "filled" hole but at least you already have a place to get it repaired if necessary. Extrapolating from small round holes to that cutout is quite a leap of faith. It may be good enough for what you plan to do with...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    Hopefully that cutout doesn't start to propagate a crack in the corners. I would inspect the cutout regularly depending how much and how hard you ride. People should also have reasonable expectations from manufacturers. They are not going to give you proprietary data to modify their system in...
