I’m curious about the TCU battery too. Any updates or information about the purpose of the battery? It seems logical that it could be to store changes to the default rider settings, but logic doesn’t always dictate how things work.

I’ll add one to the list: garmin edge 130 plus. It’s garmin’s cheapest unit and mine works very well with my Creo. I paired it with the power and cadence sensors on the bike, then with my Varia radar-rear light. It displays rider power, cadence and all the basic speed and time units. Adding the...

Months ago I read several versions of the specialized return policy and understand that returned items have to be unused and in their original packaging to qualify for a refund, and the refund doesn’t apply to bikes. I think bikes can be returned but only for store credit. Since the O.P’s bike...

I agree - My Vado SL 4.0 with the 10 speed clunked loudly when I shifted to a smaller sprocket. I tried to slow my cadence way down or even stop pedaling for a split second before shifting. Riding with assist off, it was a much quieter shift. My creo, with an 11 speed, has a noticeable but much...

I get what you’re questioning. That’s how the cleaner is designed and it seems to work on my Creo. Maybe the derailleur spring tension and the clutch take care of things. I’ll pay closer attention next time I use it, but so far, so good.

The park tool cleaner (the newer model) lets you put the handle on either side, designed for mid motor ebikes. You can forward pedal through it and have the chain exit past the sponge and go through the brushes the same direction as it would move with the handle reversed and back pedaling. I’ve...

That’s what I’ve done. The Allen key can get wedged in and require a sharp push on the pedal in the forward direction to get it out. I got some very minor nicks in the crank arm at the contact point too. It looks like the above product avoids that by keeping the Allen perpendicular to the chain...

I don’t know if this will help with you issue, but I noticed your device updates version numbers in your first post were blank. That happened to me several times with my Vado SL and I had trouble connecting to mission control. I found that my Garmin would interfere with MC if I turned it on...

That sure clears things up for me! All this time I thought you had to put your arms in first.

I used MC on my ride yesterday and Ride did show battery level and the time in assist modes chart again. Seems like the IT techs at Specialized did sort out the problem. I’m glad to have that data back. I had asked Ride tech support a few months ago if they would add more ebike data functions...

My Vado SL went to Pro’s Closet as per their instructions: battery installed and half charged. The shipping label they supplied was for FedEx. Their FAQS says not to include external batteries. I thought it was interesting that they gave me my quote based on the year, model, and two rather poor...

I took advantage of the 25% off sale on Creos and bought a carbon comp two weeks ago. Ive been riding a Vado SL 4.0 since last summer and was very happy with it, but just wanted the road bile feel again. The VSL was close, and I could have been happy keeping it but the Creo is better for me at...

Ok, thanks. So it’s just rider power and no motor power then.

You say “creo power is displayed in the bottom right field”. I see two numbers, 275 watts and 70. Do you mean the 70 is the motor power? If so, I didn’t know any app besides the Specialized ones and Blevo could show motor power. Ebike Field (not the Ebike Multifield that you are using) only adds...

I just got an email back from specialized rider care and they confirmed that they removed the fake channel from MC. They also said that the loss of battery level and support level in the Ride app is “a known issue” and they will work on it.

I think you’re right. I like the Blevo ride map with the slider that lets you look at any point along the route and gives complete data including rider power, motor power, assistance level, cadence, speed, HR, etc. I stopped using it when I found the Ride app gave most of that, and when I read...

Oh! Glad to know I can stop searching for a problem that I can’t fix! Sorry that you have the same issue now. I think I’ll go back to using Blevo to look at post-ride stats. Thanks! You saved me a lot of time!

MC version looks like it was updated a week ago, ver 2.12.0. The bike is my new Creo. I installed ebike field before my fourth ride and that’s when the data glitch started. I just noticed the missing fake channel and I do remember seeing it in the past.

Yes, the fake channel option is no longer shown in Tune. It used to be there but I never used it. I’m thinking ebike field might have used it or changed its function somehow.
