I had a similar experience. I bought my Creo back to the dealer after about 50 miles to get a few things tuned up and the first thing he said to me was "your front wheel is loose". And he was right. Now, I remember tightening the axle, but obviously not enough. So what's the rule of thumb? How...

Interesting. My dealer delivered the bike to me with 5 spacers. It feels fine!

Yes, it's in the +6 position. I want some more elevation. I ordered the Ritchey 90mm (same length) with 30 degrees elevation. I hope to install that this week. When I get it installed I'll post pics and let you know how the steering feels. I appreciate the education I got with regard to stem...

I would have thought that my reaching out to Specialized to clarify the point, and reposting their advice here, would have made it abundantly clear that I am not trying to "reinvent the wheel". Just seeking information, and accepting the information as provided. In case it has not been made...

And finally - I asked if there is any issue when charging up different batteries at different depletion levels:

Here is the answer I received from Specialized:

It's more for the convenience factor. So if I'm on a long-distance road trip, I can charge all three batteries simultaneously without having to lug 2 chargers along and without having to get up in the middle of the night to swap batteries. I want to wake up in the morning with all three...

Aren't all these factors just as relevant with 2 batteries as with 3? Are you saying I can't use the Y cable in its standard configuration (for 2 batteries) if my main battery is 25% down and the RE is 90% down? Or vice versa?

I submitted an inquiry on the Specialized site. I'll post back here when I get a reply.

Thanks! You saved me a bunch of aggravation! :)

You guys are scaring me away from the adjustables! I should probably thank you for that, but we'll never know. (Risk management is a thankless job! ;-) My bike shop maxed out the spacers for me. Anyone know where I can find a 45 degree (or more) rise? Ritchey preferred, but I'd consider any...

Thanks! I might go for one like that, made by Ritchey. I have good experience with Ritcheys.

Thanks! I like Ritchey. I have a Ritchey 45deg on my "meBike" :) so I'd be inclined to go with them again for my new eBike. In general I'm a little hesitant regarding the adjustables. However, Ritchey has an adjustable and, given their reputation, I'd be a bit more inclined to trust them. Were...

Thanks for your kind offer. Unfortunately, I am way over on the other coast. I will send an inquiry in to Specialized. I'll let you know what they say. Do I understand you correctly - if the Y cable is being used it MUST be plugged into both batteries; It cannot be used if I only want to charge...

I'd like to replace the handlebar stem on my Creo Turbo. I'd like to affect two aspects of the current fit. 1. I want to move the handlebars closer to the seat - less stretch to reach the handlebars. 2. I want to elevate the height of the handlebars so that my posture is slightly more upright...

Can I charge three batteries (Creo main plus two extenders) simultaneously with two Y cables? In other words, plug the input of the second Y cable into one of the outputs of the first Y cable, giving me three free plugs. Has anyone done this? Thanks!

So here's the final report on this. The main electrical cable from the battery to the motor was corroded. It took a few weeks to get the correct diagnosis and then the part, but the cable is now replaced and I'm back on the road! So no issues with the motor. 6,370 miles and going strong.

I see. Thanks for your advice!

Can you explain that? How do you adjust position for gravel? (Pardon my ignorance. I've never used a dropper post so I've never had a choice in the matter.) Thanks for your advice!

I'm curious why you say this? I've been riding an MTB on road (Bulls E-Stream EVO 2 hardtail, with slimmed down tires) for about 6K miles. It has two chainrings in the front and I NEVER use the smaller one. (OK, when my battery died once I needed the lower ring. But other than that - NEVER.) In...
