A shim like the one shown in the upper image should have been included in the parts box that came with the bike. Your shop may not have passed it on to you, so you should ask them if they have it. (The shim in the lower image has a lip on it that may be specific for the Diverge/Roubaix/Ruby.)...

@BikeMike - this is without question the the most extreme case of analysis-paralysis I've ever seen ;)

Get back to your high school weight and you’ll be fine 😉

magnetic current build up??? Cue The Twilight Zone theme song What you’re experiencing is purely psychosomatic.

Some hubs have replaceable end caps to accept different axle diameters, so carbon wheels with those hubs can be used. For example a DT 350 front hub with 110mm spacing can be be converted to accept a 12mm axle using part #F-S6885S. more info at...

Thanks for checking, StmbtDave. I have to say that I'm stunned! My conclusions were based on my experience with the Levo SL which has the same motor. Your results make it sound as if the Creo power assist may only be half that of the Levo SL despite using the same motor. I went out and tested...

There seems to be some confusion about how much power the Creo motor returns for a given rider input. When the motor power is set to 100% the motor will add 2X rider input. Thus you only need to put in 120 watts to get a full 240 watts from the motor. In this case total power (rider + motor)...

peace of mind for 38g

try using carbon seatpost paste...

That's impressive. Both you and the bike have a good Power:Weight ratio!

3.5 miles/wh x 320Wh battery = 1120 miles. That is IMPRESSIVE! "Some heroic rides" indeed. Did you forget to turn the bike on, or has a decimal point been misplaced??? ;)

Try throwing 25 lb on a regular bike and you'll get an idea. It's similar to riding a loaded touring bike. Hills are hard. If you just turn off the motor on a Vado that you're used to riding with assistance you'll get a shock due to the change. I ride mine abound the neighborhood with the power...

OK, here's a simple test you can try to convince yourself. 1. Activate Mission Control on your phone and go to the LET'S RIDE icon. 2. Click on the STATS menu at the top and set two windows to report RIDER POWER and MOTOR POWER (just press and hold a window to see choices). 3. While riding...

Mr. e-levity is also a Levo SL rider. The Levo SL has the same motor as the Creo SL so he has experience with power delivery from the SL 1.1 motor. In addition, he has used BLEvo riding a Levo to monitor rider and motor power levels and confirm the multiplication factor. I understand that the...

From the Specialized web site: "The lightweight SL 1.1 motor doubles your effort with as much as 240 watts of silent and powerful assistance to amplify your ride." The Support Level power settings are multiplication factors, and the Peak Power settings determine the upper limit that the motor...

You might consider a KS (Kind Shock) eTen dropper post. They employ a simple lever under the seat and do not require a cable. The post comes in different drops (75-125mm), overall lengths, and diameters. Cost is about $100. I use a 75mm dropper on my Vado 6. Main reason is to lower the seat at...

Sounds like a fun trip! Good for you and mrs sierra for getting out! 👍 The photos make it appear like a lot more than 66L (which would just be a mid-sized backpack). Mrs levity and I have bike-packed on regular (non-assist) bikes including sleeping bags, ground pads, tents, food and cooking...

Yes, thank you for posting the update, 2wheels. Good info for folks considering the Vado. You put a LOT more miles on a Vado than anyone I know, so your input is especially valuable and is greatly appreciated. Glad to hear things are working out for you.

We built new wheels using DT Swiss 350 hubs and DT Swiss XM421 27.5/650b rims. Mrs levity likes the Schwalbe G-One Speed 27.5x2.0 tire shown in the photo below. I prefer Schwalbe G-one Allround 27.5x2.25 (Snakeskin, TL easy) tires for a little more grip and cushion. A major benefit of going...
