Going from 42 to 40 on the chain ring is only a 5% change in gears. That is less than any one step on your cassette. On my Creo I went from 46 to 42, and that worked out well, not a huge change but enough to give me a little more range for climbing. I've never experienced a chain drop (knock...

It's only temporary. What about masking tape?

My old friend Hugh Jas comes to mind.

"Bricked" seems like an overreaction to me. I don't use smart control, so I don't know if it still works on my Creo. That said, I can agree that it's disappointing to lose a feature without any notice. I was frustrated when I found that Mission Control no longer supports update of the Turbo...

Yeah, front wheel should never touch the down tube. Something is seriously wrong. I agree the pictures on the web site are a little strange, but IMHO they all show plenty of clearance between front wheel and frame. Does your bike look much different? For the front wheel to move closer to...

You might look at Snoqualmie Pass tires from Rene Herse .

Had the same issues with mounting a pump on a Creo. I wound up carrying it in a jersey pocket. My 7" pump seems pretty secure there, though I'd rather mount on the frame.

I lived in Ann Arbor many moons ago. Is the Dexter cider mill still there along Huron River Drive? That will be a great ride next fall.

You might also consider the Hatcher Pass tire from Rene Herse. Width is 48mm. Very supple tire.

I need to correct myself. In Mission Control, the switch for stealth mode says "turn off display LEDs." When I try it, the usual display does disappear, but in its place there is a comparatively dim battery gauge. To my eye it is dimmer than the lowest display brightness setting, but not...

Sorry about the creak. And your LBS. Just to be sure all stones have been turned: I assume you also checked chain ring bolts and chain ring clamp bolt? Other discussions have reported creaks from these being loose. I have no ideas, though, why 10 minutes of riding would matter. :confused:

I have a 2022 Creo. I like it! As far as I know: 1. Yes, MM display has stealth mode - no lights - as well as brightness control. There's also an option to turn off beeps. 2. Remotes (I assume you refer to the two buttons) do not come factory installed. In my case the shop I bought through...

I also think it makes sense to connect battery to charger before plugging charger to the wall. But I noticed the instructions for Specialized Turbo Creo say to plug charger first, then connect to the bike. Just a guess, but maybe the reason is that the charger has some self-diagnostics and...

Some posts have said to use maximum tire pressure, but that might not be the best. Check out the discussion at https://www.renehersecycles.com/tire-pressure-calculator/ I would definitely agree that supple tires make the riding more fun.

I can only find "Orion" bicycles when I check on line. Is that what you meant? Here's my 2c worth: IMO tire width is mainly a function of what kind of surface you want to ride on. For pavement and hard-packed, relatively smooth surfaces, I would guess there's not much added benefit going...

I don't keep good records like yours, but from observing cadence in my display, I do about the same as you. The sweet spot seems to be in the low 80s, and I rarely go above 95. Years ago I read an intro to cycling book that suggested 65 to 75, but I find I prefer a bit faster than that...

Good luck, Hekkubus. I'm guessing you have a 2022 Creo?

I'm wondering: Which Spec bikes can be updated over the air, and to what degree? I've done two OTA updates to display firmware, but my one update to motor and battery required that I go to a shop. I have a 2022 Creo with mastermind TCU. How is it for other bikes?

That's got to be frustrating. Just a guess, but are you at the latest version of the Mission Control App on your phone? It is 3.11.0. As far as I know, the update downloads to your phone and from there to your bike by Bluetooth. If you are already at 3.11.0, and if you have happy phone and...

I don't want to be in the same building with a exposed lithium. I guess it's not as bad as sodium, but still...
