Most stems are compatible with the FS. FS equipped bikes come with shims so standard stems will fit. They just to have the same measurement/height at the steerer tube connection.

I didn’t say they ride in the flats most of the time. I said most who ride drop bar bikes will ride in the flats for a more upright position, as in to change hand position or posture to relieve pressure on a long ride. I agree that they primarily ride in the hoods. My point is that the flats...

I don't think it matters much where the hoods or drops are. Most who ride drop bar bikes will ride in the flats for a more upright position. A flat bar essentially is just like riding in the flats just a bit wider. I personally don't see an issue at all with converting a Creo.

Yes, for those that are unfamiliar with that trail, it’s paved the entire length with smooth asphalt and has an elevation gain of around 1900’. Not a very hilly route but there several small, punchy climbs.

Sorry for no pics. I took them but the files are too large. I’ll fix them and post soon. I did a 52 mile ride today on the Virginia Capital Trail. The whole trail is roughly 52 miles and I was planning to ride out and back for a total of 104 miles but my wife decided to come along and change my...

I'll take some pics today. I took a couple the day I got it but the color doesn't look right. I'll try to color correct and see if I can't get something more representative of the actual color.

Last week I picked up a 2025 Creo 2 in the pistachio color. I've ridden a few hundred miles so far and am very impressed. Over the last year I've gotten into drop bar bikes after not having ridden one in many years. When I would test ride a drop bar they always felt too weird and stretched out...

I really don’t like the charge port being on the top tube. It’s even worse seems like a terrible location especially if you have a RE.

It's weird. I've read in places that Mahle were making this motor.

This is a great looking bike. As a total package I’d take this over the Amflow/DJI.

If you want to ride for any length of time or distance it would be better to get used to a sportier position as opposed to an upright position. There is no saddle that feels comfortable after awhile when in an upright position with the majority of your weight resting on your back end. If you're...

You are definitely an XL. I’m 190cm and the XL was perfect.

I was at a very nice Specialized store today and saw several Vado SL2’s. Wow, are they ugly in person. I didn’t like any of the satin colors and the downtubes are just too big looking. They look too much like the full powered Vado, but the full powered model looks a lot better. The original SL...

I was a bit surprised with how I'm getting along with the drops. It's been years since I've ridden them and short test rides just seemed so foreign. Now after a short time, they're very comfortable. They actually feel like a similar position as the 5.0. I don't feel more leaned over and the...

An update that I’m sure nobody cares about. I talked to the bike shop about my 5.0 that I returned. They also believe something was wrong with the motor. It was a very nice bike otherwise and I guess I didn’t get to experience it as it was designed. However, this may have been a blessing. Since...

You sound like my wife😁

I very seriously considered the Grizl ON. It’s a great looking bike, has a nice Bosch system. I’m hesitant because I can’t ride one prior and the geometry seems to be a little different than my preference. And again, I need to see how I like drop bars. So far after a couple short rides on my new...

Perhaps there’s some bias but I’ve owned many e-bikes and have ridden many more. The Tero X is excellent. I actually ride it with the motor off, as well. The furthest I’ve ridden it without assistance was 35 miles. It was a pretty leisurely ride on pretty flat ground with an average speed of...

The more I consider it, the more I believe there was something not right about the motor. It absolutely felt like it introduced drag while in Eco mode, like it was slightly harder to pedal. That's a shame because I otherwise really liked the bike. If Specialized offers another 50% off deal maybe...

You guys are making me question my decision 😉 I do wonder if there may have been something wrong with the motor. It made intermittent clicking noises while the motor was engaged. Maybe I wasn't getting the full power of that particular motor. I let the guys at the shop know about it. I would've...
