Thanks for that….really helpful.

Did You get a dealer to remove main battery or do it yourself? I could be tempted to do that for a tour with a couple of range extenders es when you can’t be certain of access to a power point to recharge overnight.

Don’t forget you can reverse the clamp on the setback version which makes it just 13mm. I’ve got mine now thanks to Dazmans recommendation of a well priced source for those in EU or Uk

Just got an email to say my Creo 2 Expert is now ready at local Specialized shop. Really looking forward to getting it but definitely don’t want to getting wet and filthy on it’s first ride! Just had a 15 mile ride today on my belt drive Rohloff and that’s ideal for the wet and dirt in...

Dazman…thanks for the info on Bikeinn price for the Ergon Allroad seatpost. £169 delivered AT and customs included. An amazing price, at least £50 cheaper than buying in UK! Still a crazy price just for a seatpost….many people would flinch at the idea of paying that for a whole bike!!

Thanks for that info….much appreciated. Ergon it is! 👍. This bike is costing me a fortune 😃

Dazman what do you think about the Ergon seatpost? I was considering the Specialized Terra but now you have me wondering.

Your suspicions are right…I never ride single track! My Creo 2 use will be for touring so I’m hoping that the more relaxed geometry and longer wheelbase (very similar to traditional touring bikes) will make for a more stable comfortable ride. The mounting points on the forks will enable me to...

Helpful comparison… thanks. Just wondering if you’ve removed the dropper cable yet and if it’s pulls through easily without any dismantling. I’ve a Creo 2 that should be arriving soon and like you want to be rid of the dropper post. If it’s not a simple pull though I’ll get the shop mechanic to...

That’s fair comment. ‘Horses for Courses’.

I’m a bit like Stefan on this (except that his English is better than mine….and I’m British!!). I have a Creo 1, soon to be joined by a Creo 2. I almost always ride the bike with the power off except on the steepest hills when the aging legs complain, and certainly get exercise, particularly...

I’ve an Expert on order so am looking forward to your review and re your replacement seatpost which is a mod I’ll be doing once I can decide a good shock absorbing carbon replacement. I’m hoping the bike doesn’t arrive at the local Specialized shop too soon as we are going through a cold spell...

I tried the Marathon E Plus some time ago and like you found them extremely challenging to mount on the rims. I have no doubt that they offer excellent flat protection…..possibly the best there is but I had a nagging concern that if one did flat away from home roadside repair would be a...

Thanks Paul. Mine will be expert so I’ll ask the Specialized shop if it’s easy. Yes I’m sure I’ll love the bike ……. Except paying for it but I can’t take it with me and the grandkids would no doubt just spend it on expensive holidays and beer 🤣

Hi WildPaul. I’ve just ordered a Creo 2 and am wondering how easy it is to remove the dropper post. Does the control cable disengage at the post end then just pull through from the bars or is it more complicated? Did you do this yourself or have the dealer sort it? Thanks. Andrew

The difference between our screen delaminating response is surprising isn’t it. For me immediate photos sent by Spec shop to Specialized for warranty unit replacement and for you a completely different solution! At least if you do have a problem with it in future you can refer back to when you...

The display was successfully changed today…..they had the bike for just 1.5hrs. I didn’t realise that the display and bar control are one unit so that’s new as well. They told me that if it hadn't been done under warranty the cost of parts without labour charges would have been over £500!!! The...

My Vado is in Thursday for its free new bike check up when I hope they will be replacing my display as well. I’ll let you know their opinion and whether Specialized agreed the replacement. Trying to re glue yourself sounds like a recipe for a mess and may well make it less likely that you can...

Wow Stefan that was some ride!! I totally agree with you re riding position…..upright and a soft saddle are great for short trips but on a long ride usually (for most people) cause all sorts of abrasion issues. Regarding None’s suggestion of changing saddle height we should be aware that an...

I’ve got exactly the same…..bottom right corner. Took bike into local Spec shop last week for their advice and they photographed it to send off to Specialized for replacement authorisation. I wondered if it was a screen saver too but didn’t want to start picking at it in case I made things...
