I like a high cadence, while my wife likes her throttle. I can imagine her just letting the pedals spin while I work my tail off.

To add to this….. I was considering having my carbon Creo repainted because I don’t really like the clear-coated carbon fiber on the top bar. I was told by a Specialized rep that it must be painted by an approved shop, or the frame warranty will be voided. The closest approved shop is 125 miles...

I had that happen recently, when shopping for a hot tub saltwater chlorine generator. It was annoying, but I did notice they corrected their website to show it as out of stock. I actually ended up buying it from them in the end, as they later had a sale on it. 😊 Another bothersome practice is...

Well, that was fast! I still owed you a picture.

I can’t get a picture now, as I’m not home. I installed it so the bottle holder is in its normal (centered) position, and the pump is shifted to the right. It’s not in my way at all. I suppose you could try moving the bottle cage to the right, but I think that would be in the way. I didn’t try...

I bought this for my Creo, and it works perfectly. It holds both the bottle cage and the pump holder. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/b-rad-system/products/b-rad-bottle-shift

Haha! I was going to say the same, but I thought surely he’s thought of that and dismissed the idea. Maybe not though(?).

I have a Thule EZ Fold, and had no problems while using it. However, the distance between bikes (I think it was 9” on-center between tires) became a problem when I bought a new bike, as it didn’t play nice with my wife’s bike. I then bought the Kuat Piston Pro, as it has more distance between...

Obviously, I’m pretty much a bike rookie, especially when it comes to maintenance and repair. Maybe the mechanic was too. Or maybe my memory sucks, and he was trying to make theft of wheels more difficult(?). 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, thanks for the lesson.

Interestingly, the first time I took my Trek in for servicing, the service tech removed the quick release levers and replaced them with nuts, so they could be properly torqued. He didn’t even bother to ask, but that was fine because I dislike them myself.

Yeah, I’m 5’8”, and a medium Creo is just fine. If you’re looking for a good price, I’d suggest being patient and shopping online with their dealers. I found an S-works version in California, in April of last year, and saved $3500 before shipping and assembly. I think shipping was around...

I don’t know any home remedies, but I had one surgically removed from my wrist about 45 years ago. Ever since, I’ve had a scar that looks like I tried to commit suicide. 😂

Uh, they offered a replacement bike. What more should they do?

My 2021 S-works Creo has a 10-50 cassette. It doesn’t look like that’s available now, but the Evo versions have a 11-50. Of course, the Evo has a dropper seatpost and gravel handlebars, which may not be desired. I have 42 Pathfinder Pro’s, tubeless, and have been very happy with them, aside...

Oops, my bad, and I should have known that too!

If you install the wheel with the bike upside down, it’s very easy for this to happen. If that’s the case, try orienting it upright, and applying a bit of pressure to the handlebars as you tighten the axle.

I would think there are multiple potential causes, but first I think a little clarification is in order. Are you referring to changing assist modes, or shifting gears? If it’s the assist modes, I can’t be if any help. If it’s the gearing, the first thing I’d check is whether the cable needs to...

Agreed! My wife wanted an ebike, but I knew she’d not ride often, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I bought her a Rad bike, and within 30 miles the controller failed (fortunately, at the beginning of a ride, near my truck). Rad’s customer service was great, and I was ultimately able to...

You must have Mastermind. Earlier models cannot be updated by the user.

I have a confession to make; I haven’t ridden since October. I’m not sure which I dislike more while riding at speed, cold or rain, but we get too much of both for me. I stick to walking my dog in the winter. 😊 The good news is I’ve been working out at the gym in preparation for Spring. Oh, and...
