    Battery extender (new, legit) on eBay at a discount

    I don't know what the forum rules are on direct merchant links, but I've bought two Specialized battery extenders on eBay for ~$400 each delivered (US). I bought the first one to make sure it was legit. The guy has sold over 20 and as I write this has two left. The price before tax is $384.99

    Shipping Creo to Italy for bike tour - how to do this?

    Hi, I'm planning to do a bike tour of Tuscany in 2024. I'm basically spoiled and want to have my Creo road bike for the tour (for various reasons, but certainly because unlike any e-bike I might rent in Europe, the mph cutoff is a lot higher). I can't take the bike on the plane as luggage...

    Creo Turbo Di2 dead

    I have a 2021 Turbo Creo that I bought new about 5 weeks ago. Rear Shimano Ultegra Di2 derailleur was working fine, I tend to charge it about every two weeks through the bar end junction 'box'. Couldn't remember the last time I charged it, so I checked it this afternoon and the green LED lit...

    Turbo Creo - how to recharge Di2?

    Unfortunately, my "at the bike shop" checklist did not include "is there a Di2 charger in the take-home kit?". There was not. The bike shop is sending me one. However, I have no idea where to plug in the charger or how to tell the current charge level. It's not in the manual, and every...

    New Turbo Creo - First Impressions

    I purchased a 2021 Turbo Creo this weekend and took my first ride today. My first impression is “wow this bike is loud”. So loud that it crowds out all my other impressions. I’ve ridden an Orbea Gain e-bike for three years and it has been a fantastic bike. My only complaint is the 20 mph...

    Turbo Creo handlebar height

    I'm going to look at a Turbo Creo this weekend. The Specialized web site, and comparisons I've done with my current bikes, have my size as a large (I'm 5'10", 32" inseam). I'm guessing that with the Future Shock fork, there is no way to add spacers to raise the stem. In other words, the fork...

    Considering buying a Turbo Creo - Questions

    I currently ride a 2019 Orbea Gain road e-bike, and am thinking of buying a Turbo Creo. I’ve put 9000 miles on the Gain, and I love it except for exactly one thing: the 20 MPH cutoff. There are some group rides where I keep up fine except on long (over one mile) flat sections. I can ride in a...

    5000 miles with Orbea Gain

    I purchased my Orbea Gain M20i in May of 2019, and in 20 months and about 300 rides I’ve put just over 5000 miles on it. Some thoughts and comments: Overall, I love this bike. I’m a 50+ year old guy who has been riding seriously for more than 30 years and without an assist bike, I don’t know...
