It’s not the comp carbon one, that was $2000 more and no one has a XS size. Mine is a Creo 1, comp carbon but a L size and the only thing I see that’s different besides the weight, is hers doesn’t have the power changing buttons under the handlebar wrap. I’m planning on putting that on for...

There was one in our LBS that we just went into after breakfast to ”look around but not buy anything”. Yea, so much for that lol. It’s the “Birch“ color. She’s been wanting a roadie style bike so she can ride with me on my Creo 1. We are both experienced riders, but 62 years old so we...

Theres a Specialized dealer here in Santa Clarita if you don’t have one close to you. They must have 100 bikes on display, for sale and they allow test rides. Just leave your drivers license with them and you can put a couple miles on the bike.

Exactly what Jeremy said above. Vado! My wife and I each have one and love them. We’ve put pannier bags on them and done several overnight trips. They’ve got 1500 miles on them and only lubed the chains. We also did the Solvang Metric Century, 72 miler on them but we did have to do most of...

I just looked on Amazon. Look up “Velcro elastic strap”. Use a couple for them to strap the spare battery to your rack. The Velcro makes it easy on/off and the elastic will keep it tight to the rack.

Late March or early April will be good there. Take lights with you if you have them, the nightlife in Palm Springs is great too. It would be fun to tour around some of the main streets at night and see everything all lit up.

Palm Springs is awesome. Not sure about biking around there, but I’m sure it will be fine. There isn’t much traffic and lots of desert roads to explore. Tons of great restaurants and bars and the Aeronautical Museum is spectacular.

Another vote for your local bike shop and take several on test rides. The test rides are free so you can’t go wrong. Some bike shops will rent you an e-bike for the day for about $100 and will take that off the sales price if you buy a bike from them. Like previously mentioned, buy a...

My wife and I each have got 1500 miles on our Specialized Vado’s and haven't done a thing to them except lube the chains. You can’t go wrong with anything Specialized. You mentioned the wilderness. The Vado and Tero are a good road/dirt fire road choice with the right tires. Also, another...

Without looking too closely at it, it has SRAM components and a CF frame so that’s a good start. Costco has a great return policy so that helps too. My concern is who will work on it when it needs repairs? A LBS probably won’t. I think you are better off with a used name brand bike like...

Hey Jeremy, I got my Wahoo Bolt from online Aliexpress for $204 delivered to my door. I was skeptical and nervous that nothing would show up, but 3 weeks later it did. Brand new in the sealed box, and it works great. I think my LBS wants $400 ish for it.

My wife and I are 62 years old and both have Vado 3’s. They have been flawless and really make riding fun again. We’ve got 1500 miles on them and have done nothing but chain maintenance and fix a couple of flats.

I’m completely against an e-bike for a young person. If they are healthy they should ride a regular bike. Now if they have some disability or are overweight and an e-bike will help them on their way to getting healthy, that’s a different story. My wife and I bought our first e-bikes when...

A couple days ago my wife and I were riding our Vados on the City‘s dedicated bicycle/walking path. Some idiot on a Surron came flying past us. We were lucky I was able to hear the electric motor screaming so I knew he was going fast and we didn't swerve or try to look behind us. He would...

Another vote for test riding a few before you buy. My LBS takes your drivers license and lets you take a bike for a spin down the street. Doing that won’t give you a real feeling of what it’s like to really ride one, but it’s better than nothing and free. Find a Specialized dealer and look at...

Is there a schedule as to when the updates are sent out? Once a year, etc.?

A small screwdriver can be used to pry out and up on the circlip. Then work it around and off the toothed shaft. Circlip pliers are the best, but if you don’t have any…

To the OP, what saddle is that? I’m looking to replace a couple stock saddles on my bikes.

I’ll look at the eTap also, thx Allen

To be honest with you, I just bought my Creo and aren’t even sure how many gears it’s got. My wife and I went for a ride with some friends and my wife traded bikes for about 10 miles and got to try out a Creo Expert and loves the Di2. She’s never seen that before. We’re looking for a Creo...
