The main cable concern I have is that Garmin have installation video for the Bosch / Shimano and they both plug into light port, which the SL 1.1 does not have. I presume it will just need plus and minus (at the correct voltage) as the power button will hand on / off. My main concern with this...

Hello all. I see the Garmin today released the eRTL615 ebike radar, that works directly off the ebike main battery. I currently use the RTL515 and I love this bit of kit, up until the battery goes flat. The kits I have seen so far are for Bosch, Shimano and USB-a. Wonder if we can use the...

I have been keeping and eye for the Creo / Levo SL motor replacement and I do expect it this year. I have been looking at the TQ and Mavic motors. Both of these are newer than the SL 1.1, but still not as efficient. They do do offer more torque 50mn v 35 which would be nice. Both the TQ and...

I had the Creo Carbon comp that I put on a diet when I purchased it and the first thing I swapped was the axles. The axles with the levers are weighty, so I swapped over the the allen key version and less than half the weight. The rear 148 x 12 was easy to get with 6mm bolt. The front was...

On the Peartune 3.0, there is a manual over ride made up of combination of button pushes. I can't remember the sequence off hand but did find it online. It was something like 3 up and 3 down in quick succession. I was helping the chap that came up with the Di2 hack and he did not have the walk...

I use the RE as a top up to the main. If I have say 30% left in main, pop on the RE and I have 80% again and saves a cycle on the main. That said, I have 100 mile ride planned later this year over Dartmoor ( wild and hilly part of the UK) where I may need it !!!

Specialized normally replaces model each 3 year, so it about the Creo get an update. Looking at other similar bikes on the market, there is still little to compare with the Creo. I did like the look of the TQ motor fitted so a few new bikes, but the range is only quoted as 60 miles and other...

The best pump I have found to take on rides is SKS Airboy XL. This pump is 7" and fits easy in a pocket, but does also come with frame mount for cage mounting. The main advantage of this pump is 2 air chambers. The pump is effectively in 2 halves, each half being a compression chamber. Goes...

Excuse the dirty bike, but did a 62 mile ride yesterday and have not have the chance to clean it yet. This is most comfortable seat / seat post combination I have found. The seat post is the Ergon CF3 split carbon, which acts like a leaf spring and give the same level of damping as the...

I have one of the early Creo's and have neither the top access hole or the remote. I did the Di2 hack on mine and it transformed the bike. Having the power switch on the bars and being able to cycle up and down on the power setting makes the bike so much easier. I do tend do a fair bit of...

I have the 1040 Solar and not had the RE Plugged in to often. Just tried it and shows main battery only. I have not done the latest Garmin firmware for when the 840 came out, so will report back later....

So why do range extenders not get lighter as they empty.......🤣

Same as me. I use the battery when I need it. I have done the Di2 hack, so have power selection on shifters, so dead easy to power up and off. I have also dropped my bike weight from 14kg down to 12.2kg and same as S-Works with careful upgrades....

I have managed to get 56 mile out just a RE, but on fairly flat ground. Where in Europe are you going? I am in UK and have 4 good working main batteries and would lend one on a deposit basis if that would help you out? Takes me 10 mins to swap them out

I have a few thousand miles on the Garbaruk chainring and chain alignment is not an issue.

I have the PearTune 3.0 on my Creo as in UK and Europe, we are restricted to 25kph or 15.5mph !!! I have the version that turns on with the Walk switch, so needed a remote to operate. I have since swapped to the Di2 hack, and made a walk button out of a bar end, so I still have that function...

Well Said Stefan and I am with you. my current battery is 3 years old and still going good. I have 3 other main batteries, so at least another 9 years worth........

I can't see me using the 80% limit as I don't leave the bike with 100% charge for any extended period. I also have 3 other main batteries they I picked from ebay and I leave these with 70%. I give these spares a charge cycle every 3 month to ensure they operate correctly and had no issue in...

Not used the GP5000, but I am tubeless on Pirelli Cinturato's. They are nice armored, excellent grip and available in black, tan wall, or reflective. I have 2 spare pairs in the cupboard, I like then that much.

Sorry, just seen this as been on holiday for the last 3 weeks on Antarctica Cruise. I have not reset the contacts as yet. All the cells I tested in the dead battery, were completely dead
