I am not a fan of proprietary seat post mechanisms. I didn't know the Vado SL has one. Is it this post? #3,319

Ebikelife72 is correct. standard stems can be used with the Creo 2 Future Shock with the spacer/shim which is in the accessory bag that was in the zipped case. and as EBikelife72 also pointed out the 'stack' (height of rear section) of the stem cannot exceed the stock height ( I measure 40mm on...

I used a link because I was trying to avoid the giant preview thumbnails you get when you just post a YT link. They seem a bit smaller now. but I am viewing this on a browser. So are you confident that you can use your repair stand with the new dropper?

Jeremy, that is a good great rule! He gave us many years of knowledge! BTW, he is retiring. just double check your seat clamp is tight. I was adjusting my seat before my ride yesterday and laughed as the seat post clamp has a 6.2Nm torque. my torque wrench does do decimals, but still !!

I found this video when I was discussing with a friend recently... A video from good ol park tool on the clamping dropper post topic. Shop Talk: Is It OK to Clamp My Dropper Post in a Repair Stand? < video link [fixed] Spoiler alert. Calvin says it is fine to clamp a seat post dropper. My...

The Range Extender was just delivered the other day. Today was my first ride with it installed. The Creo 2 Built-in Battery capacity is 320Wh, the Range Extender adds 160Wh. So, no more range anxiety. I chose a 30 mile route with a continuous climb of about about 15 miles. Of that, half is...

On my ride today. I was surprised by the radar hit being a very fast SUV Aventon type eBike riding in the middle of a road traffic. I was riding in the middle of a shoulder bike lane at a decent speed (in Eco mode) He was flying... approx 3x my speed. I have Garmin Varia RTL515 and it does...

Jeremy, earlier I looked up the KS eTen you are considering. it has a 20mm rear offset, where the TranzX JS has 15mm. They are the same price. the TranzX is also an older design, the eTen looks good to me. For maximum insertion depth, you can just measure your frame yourself, after removing the...

Yes, 50-75mm is adequate for some bikes, for some anatomies. I myself only have a 30in inseam. But still the Creo's stock 50mm dropper was inadequate for my riding, so I changed mine to 100mm. The paddle type is workable, it is just a slower process compared to remote actuated types. I would...

Good points @Nubnub Jeremy, the Creo 2 Comp stock dropper has been a TranzX Hot Lap, with 50mm of travel. The high end S-Works Creo 2 comes with SRAM Reverb AXS XPLR Dropper, the price is very high for AXS droppers when purchased separately. They are so great though, I have an AXS dropper on my...

Condolences to the bicyclist's family and friends killed in collision with e-bike rider. Also in the news today... Calif. dad gets felony charge over son's 60 mph e-motorcycle crash [Orange County father faces a felony charge]...

Yeah personal heat maps are enlightening and fun! keep it up. I dropped many subscriptions, including Strava. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage when I had access. Beans and rice and scrambled eggs, on the menu for me for the near future. Reality

in grocery getter mode to my favorite green grocer - Sigona's Right in front of the destination, I was nearly hit by a raised pick-up truck who decided not to turn left, from the TURN LEFT ONLY LANE. Thankfully I was in full power mode and avoided his 4000lb truck. I have rear red lights and was...

Planned/unplanned… In the late morning I reconfigured the bike a bit… changed from flat pedals to my regular SPDs removed the fenders also cleaned/lubed the chain and drivetrain added the Ortlieb Quick Rack and a trunk bag BUT, I did not change the chunky 45mm Vittoria Terreno T70 tires, they...

I see what you mean, with the short post with the holes - not sure why that is still attached. . no there was another set of wires across from this on the opposite side. next to the the fallen tree which made the wires snap. I took this photo while riding (uphill) so I was just documenting a...

Lunch ride. no destination. ended up going into Huddart Park for the first time. Drizzle and wet roads amidst the beautiful trees. wet shoes walking through the grass during a snack break. I need to ride the full length of Kings Mountain Road on a weekday, but when dry. it was sketchy being 99%...

Sorry, slowly reviewing many photos. more to come.

I had the most pleasurable ride in a long time! I rained all last week in the Menlo Park CA area. I got in one ride after the rain. Today I just wanted to ride the coast. there is a Multi-use-trail in Half Moon Bay that I have ridden often. I decided to ride this route but add the north end...

This is so inspiring
