    Is there an alternative to Mission Control and Specialized Ride app that provides info on percentage time in different power modes?

    I don't think my Garmin 1030+ can show that level of detail but would be happy if someone showed me it could.

    Motor Mods to increase power for Creo bikes

    I compared the aluminum Creo with my converted custom titanium road bike here in Seattle. I tested on some of our routine hills. I knew immediately it was not as powerful but it was less twitchy than the converted bike probably because I had a front hub motor installed on the titanium custom...

    New Firmware for multiple bikes. Only updatable via the bike shop

    Sorry you overlooked the RE. How long did it take for the update? I'd like to plan an excursion to my shop. Although, I can walk there/home some planning might help.

    New Firmware for multiple bikes. Only updatable via the bike shop

    Oh, well, look at that. I, too, got the email but ignored it as I thought it was the Specialized Shop site sending me one more irritating offer!

    Turbo Creo SL Comp carbon EVO vs Canyon Grail:ON CF 7 (this or that?)

    Showing my mechanical skills or NOT. What is the "little pinch bolt"? Is it that little bolt showing through the notch in your attachment?

    Turbo Creo SL Comp carbon EVO vs Canyon Grail:ON CF 7 (this or that?)

    I get some kind of noise or feeling when pedaling my Creo. But not all the time. it just happens and if I pause pedaling, and then restart, it is as though I have the motor, crank or whatever go back into its appropriate "whatever" and the noise/feeling goes away. I might have to do this once...

    Pre-sales advice: Vado 4.0 for Seattle hills?

    I've got the aluminum Creo which is in the SL lineup. It and I (with more than 10 years on you!) manage to get up many of our hills but occasionally would appreciate, as you put it - more oppphm (spelling). I purchased at Gregg's Greenlake. I played around on the hills east along Ravenna...

    Front brake starts rubbing in rain

    That's very interesting, fellow pacific northWET citizen. Just last week I got caught in my first heavy rain here in Seattle. ONLY the front brake screeched like hell whenever it was applied even on flats as I approached intersections. It would stop if I kept it applied for a bit but start up...

    Question on 'dropped chain'?

    I had the occasional chain drop on my Creo. But when it dropped it would fall between the crank and motor housing, so it was really jammed in there. It took quite a bit of careful work to extricate it without damaging the chain (nevermind the motor housing/etc). But one day it was really...

    Turbo Creo SL Comp carbon EVO vs Canyon Grail:ON CF 7 (this or that?)

    I have the Creo. I am overweight and OLD. I could use more umpphh on some of our paved hills here in Seattle. My main suggestion, applicable to the Creo, is can't you arrange a test ride and even test on nice clean paved roads with serious inclines. When I first tested the Creo, I was able...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I have had it happen the one time I had set to USE RANGE EXTENDER FIRST. It was a bit maddening. On an uphill, behind a friend and suddenly the bike lost power. I had to stop. I fiddled with the up/down to not avail. I turned it off/on also to no avail. Meanwhile my friend was powering...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I think someone posted the other day that there may be an UPDATE for the Range Extender that addresses the issue (or I could mis-remember). Unfortunately, the update has to be done by the shop and has to be accompanied by the entire BIKE.

    2022 Vado SL 4.0 Dead

    Try pressing and HOLDING the power button. I think there's also a reset by pressing and holding both buttons. But don't go blowing things before giving the shop a chance to address issues on a warrantied bike.

    Get Connected With Mission Control 3.0

    I use Gaia GPS to log rides. It does distance and elevation altho sometimes the elevation gets inflated.

    Bike Rental

    Okay, I know this is a Specialized Forum and I "drive" a Creo. But am possibly going on vacation where the bike rental choices are: Giant Roam E+ Giant Lafree E+ 2 Disc I'm willing to go NON-road to get some more experience on other geometries. But what recommends one over the other...

    Does Specialized still make E-bikes? (g)

    A hike there was on our agenda but it went quiet again.

    Does Specialized still make E-bikes? (g)

    Being in the boonies of Iceland - anywhere outside of Reykjavik - means you are out of the mainstream - A WONDERFUL place to be. So just thought I'd ask. ;) ☀️❄️ We had mostly superb but unusual weather - full sunshine. Walked some waterfall trails, glacier trail, saw rainbows and THE FREAK...
