    Some thoughts on using an ebike for Z2 training

    It works. I have an Allant+ 8S that I use for around town errands and Z2 training days, especially after hard ride days. I also live where there's a hill whatever direction I go. I only use enough power to keep me in Z2 but do bump it up on the climbs. I opted for the Allant vs a an e road...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I'm one of the orginal authors of that training program, I first taught it in Dayton, Ohio. That's a good video, the training lasts 4 days, our school is 5 days. I still attend/teach at our school even though I'm retired. Truth be told, I stand around a lot. As to the TV show Pacific Blue, I...

    Trek Allant+ 8S Rear Derailleur Hanger

    Beside the Trek dealer, does anyone know where to locate a Trek Allant+ 8S rear derailleur hanger? Not the result of a crash, I want to have a spare given that it's not a UDH.

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    My career was at the Dayton, Ohio Police Department and I was fortunate enough to be one of the founders of this organization: https://ipmba.org/ Yes, there are many skills used in police cycling that make transportation/recreational cycling a lot easier. If you go into the "history" (I think)...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I went to the Trek site and downloaded the pdf for the display I have. It looks like the only display screen is the one that comes up. Not mentioned, but I'm guessing the left/right & select buttons are only active if you have a phone/app connected. I use the bike for transportation so...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    My intention is to NOT ride without lights, I just want to know if they can be turned off. I use my headlight/flasher for my regular drop bar road bikes as well as a Garmin Varia taillight/radar, both are moved to the Allant when riding it. As far as riding without lights, I can't count the...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I've done some internet research and can't find the answer to this. What to the sideways arrow buttons do on the mode control do? Also, is there just one screen on the bike display (not using a phone) no miles traveled or ODO? Thanks

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    Thanks for the response ;) I see you're using yours to good effect. Seeing a pic of your bike has given me some ideas. A mirror for sure and I think you have a Garmin Varia as well. I'm going to contact the dealer re the extra battery set up as well as looking to source a one wheel cargo...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I finally took the plunge. My local bike shop has Trek Allant+ 8s (and Stagger) for 2500 bucks. I've been eyeing them for a while to use as a small town commuter and for my GF ride while I train on my road bike. Given that, I went for the Stagger version because the lower stand over height...

    National Locater For Trek E Bikes?

    Is there a national (USA) locating system for finding a specific model and size of a Trek E bike? I'm Looking for a Domane+ HP in 56cm. Local Trek dealer didn't seem interested beyond "maybe around Christmas 2022".

    Rode the Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp

    Thanks. I guess that's the result of the manufacturer being in another country.

    Rode the Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp

    I can't see how one would "align" a chain on a single chainring. Do you mean "clock" the links on the chainring as depicted on the sticker?

    Frame Sizing - Turbo Creo SL Comp E5

    791mm is 31.14 inches. Agreed it, does seem a little high for a "small" frame.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Has anyone got any info on the 2021 Creo SL Carbon Comp re changes and availability? I thought I read somewhere that 2021 versions would have mode selector switches on the handlebars. Is that the only changes for 2021 models and when they might be available? My LBS has 2020 models, I wonder...

    Turbo Creo owners: is the Creo your only road bike, or do you feel you still love your analog bike(s)?

    I could never give up riding these or any of their stable mates. E-bikes are great but there's something about an old steel race bike that can't be matched.

    Turbo Creo gearing. Do you need/want a higher gear?

    A 46x11 is a 110 inch gear; at 110 rpm that's right at 36 mph. I have a smaller "big gear" on my analog race bikes and never find myself looking for more (50x12, 108 inches).
