    Creo and chainring/cassette configurations

    I'm running a 11-46 cassette, Wolftooth 42 chainring and Shimano Deore XT Di2, Shadow Plus, 11-speed combo for the last 8k miles. I bought the Wolftooth extender but did not need it. I use a 116 link chain. i took the chain keeper off since it didn't really do anything. I had a dropped chain...

    Battery Range Experience for Specialized E-Bikes

    I'm not sure a RE is necessary for your use case. You are not pushing the range on any single ride. You could just do a short charge before your second ride if you plan to go a little further than your usual.

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    It's like cutting holes in an I-beam. Holes in the web are OK but holes in the flanges are not. The holes on the SL are on the flats (web). They may have put a doubler in around the TCU (don't know). From the Specialized Owners Manual Supplement. The Creo/Vado SL models are ASTM Condition...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    The plug is not a structural part so that would not generally be considered a "filled" hole but at least you already have a place to get it repaired if necessary. Extrapolating from small round holes to that cutout is quite a leap of faith. It may be good enough for what you plan to do with...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    Hopefully that cutout doesn't start to propagate a crack in the corners. I would inspect the cutout regularly depending how much and how hard you ride. People should also have reasonable expectations from manufacturers. They are not going to give you proprietary data to modify their system in...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    How did you analyze the cutout in the frame?

    My chain is jumping off the chain ring on my Creo

    I also aligned my derailleur and I've been meticulous about chain care after I replaced the chain ring and cassette. I may try and order one of the chain guides just to try.

    specialized creo 2

    Remember to use patience and care when plugging in the extender cable. Do a test pull to make sure it's locked because if it comes loose your while pedaling your crank will break it. Don't do it when you are in a rush to get going or you can damage the connector too.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    If you go to the support site, you can download the Creo 2 User Manual and Rider Workbook that have more specific details than the marketing material. Example the 49cm model has 165mm cranks. https://support.specialized.com/turbocreosl/en/service-maintenance/manuals-tech-content

    Creo have "walk assist mode"?

    You would need to have one of the accessory bar adapter attachments with a 22.2 bar section to fit the control to a Creo. There are pictures somewhere in the forum with a Levo control mounted from a couple of years ago.

    My chain is jumping off the chain ring on my Creo

    What is the part number? The motor mounts are the same between the Creo SL and Creo 2. The chain guide is attached to one of the motor mount bolts. I haven't dropped a chain since I switched to a Wolf Tooth chain ring and waxed chains. I was dropping chains at 4000 miles with the Praxis when...

    Creo have "walk assist mode"?

    Creo has 31.8mm bars. I bought a switch intending to do the dI2 left shifter switch mod and when I plugged it in for a test it didn't work. I can't remember if the Creo SL 2021 connector was missing two of the control wires or if it was a program setting that needs to be change by the shop...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Electronic shifting is very reliable. I've not heard of a component to going out unless damaged. I'm sure one has but it's rare. Electronic shifting is like a downhill or tailwind for your hands. Another advantage since is it's so much easier to shift so you will be more likely to always be...

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Try shifting with just your little finger(s) for a couple weeks on mechanical shifters and then decide if electronic shifting is worth the upgrade. Your mitts are probably twice the size of hers.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Specialized has posted the Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 on the website. Now that the new Creo 2 aluminum frame version is out, it seems the Vado SL 2 should be somewhere on the way too? I think they will use the same frame and mix the forks sizes to get the Vado SL fit. Edited: The new Creo 2 Comp E5...

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 and Specialized App - Range Extender

    "Further, it no longer seems to support the "Use Range extender first" option." Discharge RE first option appears under Settings (Bike Settings) after the bike is ON and connected with a RE for my non-Mastermind Creo SL. You can have both BLEvo and Specialized installed as apps. If you want...

    Can One order Garmin Varias on 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0?

    I am using a Cirrus Kinekt suspension post and drilled a hole for the wire in the top post fitting to match where the mfg suggests. There is a photo of the drill location in this forum. I took the motor and battery out to run the wire from the TCU, down the battery compartment and up the seat...

    Can One order Garmin Varias on 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0?

    Garmin product page for Varia™ eRTL615 lists BLE and ANT+. Device specs: Wireless frequencies: 2.4 GHz @ 8 dBm maximum; 24 GHz @ 10 dBm maximum I use one on my Creo SL for a wired tail light and radar. The Varia is 1.5w @12 V. I used the Shimano cable with four wires, two twisted for...
