I know that. At 35/35 I expect to see it peak out at just over 100 watts and that would happen with about 140 rider watts. I get about 40 watts. At 200 rider watts I get about 70 watts. I understand the algorithm to be 1.8 X rider power, up to the max. Setting, which at 35rider, 35 max power...

I have been corresponding with Spec Rider Care about my power delivery on my Creo. It feels perfect and I like the amount of assist I get in the stock setting, but I noticed that I was getting a lot less motor power under the same conditions that I did on my Vado SL. The VSL did roughly follow...

I’ve seen several threads, observations and opinions here about the Creo motor noise. I’m not sure if this video has been posted before but it compares popular ebike motors, including the specialized 1.1 (Creo and Vado sl). My personal experience is with a Vado SL that I had for 7 months, and...

I agree with Mschwett: the tall “duckbill” that the creo future shock comes with gives 15mm more height than the short one that other bikes can use. You can then add 15 mm in spacers, then flip the stem to give 36mm more height and 11mm less reach than the stock setup. A 17 deg stem (all stems...

You might be right. It could function like the CMOS battery backup on a PC motherboard and store any user settings other than the default, like a custom assist level. When the PC coin cells died, windows would ask for the time and date every time you booted up. The other BIOS settings it backed...

I think I saw another creo rattle fix thread somewhere that used the same solution as mine. I’ll add mine here to help others looking for a fix. My carbon comp creo started making an annoying rattle on bumps that sounded like it was coming from the front of the bike. On a ride, I tried holding...

I’m curious about the TCU battery too. Any updates or information about the purpose of the battery? It seems logical that it could be to store changes to the default rider settings, but logic doesn’t always dictate how things work.

I’ll add one to the list: garmin edge 130 plus. It’s garmin’s cheapest unit and mine works very well with my Creo. I paired it with the power and cadence sensors on the bike, then with my Varia radar-rear light. It displays rider power, cadence and all the basic speed and time units. Adding the...

Months ago I read several versions of the specialized return policy and understand that returned items have to be unused and in their original packaging to qualify for a refund, and the refund doesn’t apply to bikes. I think bikes can be returned but only for store credit. Since the O.P’s bike...

I agree - My Vado SL 4.0 with the 10 speed clunked loudly when I shifted to a smaller sprocket. I tried to slow my cadence way down or even stop pedaling for a split second before shifting. Riding with assist off, it was a much quieter shift. My creo, with an 11 speed, has a noticeable but much...

I get what you’re questioning. That’s how the cleaner is designed and it seems to work on my Creo. Maybe the derailleur spring tension and the clutch take care of things. I’ll pay closer attention next time I use it, but so far, so good.

The park tool cleaner (the newer model) lets you put the handle on either side, designed for mid motor ebikes. You can forward pedal through it and have the chain exit past the sponge and go through the brushes the same direction as it would move with the handle reversed and back pedaling. I’ve...

That’s what I’ve done. The Allen key can get wedged in and require a sharp push on the pedal in the forward direction to get it out. I got some very minor nicks in the crank arm at the contact point too. It looks like the above product avoids that by keeping the Allen perpendicular to the chain...

I don’t know if this will help with you issue, but I noticed your device updates version numbers in your first post were blank. That happened to me several times with my Vado SL and I had trouble connecting to mission control. I found that my Garmin would interfere with MC if I turned it on...

That sure clears things up for me! All this time I thought you had to put your arms in first.

I used MC on my ride yesterday and Ride did show battery level and the time in assist modes chart again. Seems like the IT techs at Specialized did sort out the problem. I’m glad to have that data back. I had asked Ride tech support a few months ago if they would add more ebike data functions...

My Vado SL went to Pro’s Closet as per their instructions: battery installed and half charged. The shipping label they supplied was for FedEx. Their FAQS says not to include external batteries. I thought it was interesting that they gave me my quote based on the year, model, and two rather poor...

I took advantage of the 25% off sale on Creos and bought a carbon comp two weeks ago. Ive been riding a Vado SL 4.0 since last summer and was very happy with it, but just wanted the road bile feel again. The VSL was close, and I could have been happy keeping it but the Creo is better for me at...

Ok, thanks. So it’s just rider power and no motor power then.

You say “creo power is displayed in the bottom right field”. I see two numbers, 275 watts and 70. Do you mean the 70 is the motor power? If so, I didn’t know any app besides the Specialized ones and Blevo could show motor power. Ebike Field (not the Ebike Multifield that you are using) only adds...
