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.

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.

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

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.

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 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...

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...

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.

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...

"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...

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...

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...

It kind of sounds like what they talk about in this TSB. It's intended for shops but there may be some useful info. It's in the manuals listings for Turbo Vado. (Also since the charger plug connector is magnetic, check to make sure it didn't pick up some stray piece of metal.)...

Not a SRAM person but it's my understanding the 12sp from either SRAM or Shimano is picky about mix and match and your brothers advice is probably correct. I sold the Vado SL 5.0 and everything I have now is 11sp. I went with 11-46 on my Creo and 42 front to get the lower gearing for hills...

I've had and seen loose levers on my Creo and others. I believe it's caused by taking the bike in and out of the back of the car(s) and the lever gets bumped. I have a Tailfin axle (similar to a RobertAxle) in the rear that requires a tool to remove and the front is the standard Specialized...

That is a similar problem we had on the Turbo models. I had to remove the battery every day to charge it at my work desk. Eventually I had an intermittent connection and replace the connector. I learned to carefully place the battery and not slam it. It looks like the Vado part is available...

I always wear a helmet and I use lights anytime I am riding but that wasn't the question. The Rider Workbook for the 2024 Turbo Creo 2 has a section on lights starting at page 31 and includes a wiring diagram. The systems are essentially identical to the Vado SL/Creo SL and eliminates some of...

Reference Note - The Rider Workbook for the 2024 Turbo Creo 2 has a section on lights starting at page 31 and includes a wiring diagram. The systems are essentially identical to the Vado SL/Creo SL and eliminates some of the guesswork of what lights work with the system. Creo do not come with...

The 3mm wrench is to used adjust the headset bearing preload. There are two small adjustment nuts under the snap on plastic cover at the base of the stem.

Did you go to the Specialized web page for the particular model Vado SL you are looking to find? Go to the page, select the size and color you are trying to find. Do this even if there is a line through the size or color or there is a box with "out of stock online" on the page. Select the...
