Even though Specialized advertises it as a Creo 2 all of the UL certification paperwork lists it as a Creo SL. The top bar even has a "Creo SL" decal. The part numbers of the trail remotes have periodically changed because they have changed sub-suppliers but the specification did not change...

The Creo 2 E5 max tire is 47mm vs the 2.2" on the Creo 2 full carbon models. The fork on the E5 is carbon but I think it's the same as the Vado SL 5.0 fork so it limits tire clearance. I did a little more involved mechanical to eTap conversion not a flat bar. SRAM is more compatible between...

- It's an aluminum E5 by the color and you can see the welds.

I have a Creo SL Expert with 14000 miles and just got a Creo 2 E5 now with about 400 miles. I have the the fit set up the same as much as possible between the two but the E5 is still a little more upright. The Creo 2 E5 has slightly different geometry than a carbon Creo 2 and will be easy to...

Just sounds like the stiction on the seal when you start. If you keep "back pedaling" does it continue or is it just when you start?

Other than the error codes on the Mastermind TCU shown in the manual, you would need to be a LBS with an account with Specialized to run Turbo Studio. It's rare to need to have something diagnosed.

I can't find it but I saw a reference to the shop Turbo Studio being needed to change the circumference. I just changed my Creo 2 E5 tires from the delivery 700C x 38 to 700C x 48. I use a Garmin to record rides and not the app.

The support page linked below has the error codes and has a picture of the TCU battery and instructions of how to remove it. The screw is a Torx T-10. Once you have the TCU accessed, I find the easiest method to remove the CR 1620 coin cell battery if you don't have three hands and a helper...

The Road Remote buttons on the handlebars were an accessory included on S-Works Creo SL models. It was an optional accessory that later became standard for all Creo models.

It's amazing that Zinn can make bikes that fit the very tallest and also fairly short people. I was on a ride with a guy who's Zinn bike top bar was as high as my hip and I'm 6' feet. The bike had S&S couplers for travel and the stem was so long it had to have one too. When the owner was...

It appears the empty clamp is for the brake cable. For some reason they never show the right side of bikes in photos.

I don't know anything about the stock S-Works tires. The Creo 1 was setup as a road bike with gravel as secondary.

The sealant dries out over time and will normally lose air quicker than a tubed tire. I check my pressure before every ride. I would never recommend tubeless for a rarely ridden bicycle.

Tubeless in general, moves the flat repair from outside at the side of the road to inside in the shop, garage or basement. It is not maintenance free. There are other benefits such as lower pressures and riding characteristics but if you are looking for maintenance free look elsewhere. Tire...

I think the New York requirement for e-bikes to meet UL 2849 or similar certification, may drive some changes with other states/cities considering the same regulations. The Creo 2 E5 Comp is not that different from a current Vado SL. I expect with the market pressures the 1.2 motor Vado SL...

I missed that. Would it be more accurately described as the dealer version of the site unless they have a lot of stores? I think they are sometimes treated like mushrooms too. My dealer was quite happy to have the business when I had it shipped to them. They can only see what's in stock for...

I only see 2022 and 2023 models for the Vado SL filter on the US Specialized site.

The Creo 2 Comp E5 briefly showed as available to order. I picked one up for a winter bike. It comes with a SGS UL 2849 certified sticker which may have been the delay.

It depends which Park chain checker tool some are better than others. The Park CC-4 is inexpensive and considered accurate. Replace the chain at 0.5% stretch to keep your cassette and chain ring from early replacement.
