My Creo with a Mastermind TCU started to not respond to the road remote buttons during a ride yesterday. It would erratically go into the micro tune mode and finally switched to the OFF mode and not respond further. Fortunately it was on the flat section almost at the end of the ride. It...

If in the US go for Wolf Tooth. EU Garbaruk.

It's supplied as an assembly from Lezyne. You need a new light, there are no spare parts for the light assembly. I had a lens fall off but in the storage area so I was able to bond it on. It's not too hard to find online or in a shop.

Why would you go back to that bike shop unless it's the only one in the area? It's not the brand it's the shop.

The best advice. Randomly changing bike bits hoping for a better result is not always the best solution. A good fit takes one or two hours and possibly a follow up visit. Not cheap but can produce good results. Interview the fitter to ahead of time make sure they fit non-atheletes and are...

The problem with CO2 cartridges is they don't really regulate very well. I have various heads with control knobs, the Silca CO2 Regulator, push to flow etc but the cartridges all start with a big blast. If it's inflating a new tube or a properly patched tube they work but everything has to be...

Your existing handlebars are Specialized Trail, Alloy, 8-degree backsweep, 6-degree upsweep, 27mm rise, 31.8mm clamp, S: 720mm, M-XL: 750mm. The 31.8mm clamp makes it easy to find new MTB flat bars with more rise. This is an example...

I've quit using CO2 cartridges. I carry a Cycliq electric pump and an ultralight 30g light hand pump. Too often the two cartridges did not have enough finesse and control to solve the problem. The hand pump mount goes under the water bottle cage and the pump is along side the water bottle. I...

You can get a motor stall or other unusual behavior with a low cadence. The person that bought my Vado SL stalled the motor when he turned onto a steep 15% street without enough speed or cadence.

What is your cadence? It sounds like you are pedaling at very low cadence and under load. The SL system is designed for a cadence of around 70 rpm.

I've gone back to my Creo 1 Expert (modified with E5 parts) because I like the fit and frame better. The Expert is a L and the E5 is a 56. I should have checked the geometry a little more but I seem to be sensitive to the reach more than anything else and should have gotten the 54. I suspect...

Yes between Creo's. Vado SL 1 is the same motor mount, wiring etc as Creo's. It would make more sense to convert a Creo E5 to a flat bar.

You can also use a tire pressure calculator. Read through the instructions to understand the limitations. https://www.renehersecycles.com/tire-pressure-calculator/ https://silca.cc/pages/pro-tire-pressure-calculator

Ye You need to change the motor with the matching Mastermind TCU. I've been told you don't need to swap the battery but it's so easy to do at the same time and keep everything together.

My LBS was quite happy to receive my Creo 2 from an online order. There is a slight reduction. I think it's three quarters or half. The inventories are different between dealer and online. They sometimes will have their customers order online to get the size and model they want. They get...

Probably a Button head M5 x 10mm. Any bike shop or good hardware store would have those metric fasteners. The fastener on the bridge should be the same size to compare.

As far as your subterfuge, it's pretty obvious when someone is just moving their feet while riding 20mph. You're not fooling anybody at all with zero effort riding. I do think they are targeting the so called "off road" electric bikes and bad riding behavior. A couple of years ago parents...

This is a tempest in a teacup discussion. The NYC law was signed on March 20, 2023. You don't just call up UL or SGS testing labs and say hey we'll be there tomorrow for testing. I would be certain they had a schedule in-work for quite some time since EU standards require similar testing. I...

The Specialized app is frequently updated (Android was 1-07-25). I was getting a pin request too but no place to input a pin. I had previously connected the bike with the app so finally I just deleted the bike from the app and then re-added it. It just reconnected without doing anything...

I had to delete and re-add the bike to get it to connect to my Creo 2 earlier this month. I don't normally use the app but I wanted to change some settings. I use an android so I don't know what red/black is. They did change apps a while ago.
