    Changing Creo SL gearing for the road

    The Creo Comp Carbon has 11,13,15,17,19,21,24,28,32,36,42T cogs and I have not used a cog larger than the 24T on my rides. I would like to have tighter spacing and have something like 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-22-25-28-32T. Has anyone done something like this with their Creo and curious as to any...

    Terrible paint used on $8,000 Specialized bike and no customer support

    One of my Turbo Creo SL bikes that is months old has paint worn down on the forks and after dozens of bikes I have bought or had custom built the Specialized carbon frame exterior paint is softer than anything I have encountered in the past 40 years. Worst part is that there is no touchup paint...

    Repair stand for carbon fiber e-bike?

    I have found the YC-200BH bike repair stand which is out of stock in the USA and the Feedback Sports Sprint bike repair stand which is pricy at $340 but is available to buy. I have been using a Park Tool stand with the clamp for the top tube or seat post of a non carbon fiber frame but with...

    TCU BLE and button battery

Fortunately I had a size 10 Torx driver and could get to the module. It turned out that the factory...

    Class III road / gravel bike with removable battery

    I want an e-bike with a removable battery and a Class III one. Looking for a gravel bike as well and even determining which are Class III and which have a removable battery is difficult. Prefer to keep the price per bike to $6500 or less as I will be buying two of them.

    Bike stand(s) for heavy e-bike

    My current e-bike is both heavy at 70 lbs and its weight is not evenly distributed with the battery mounted inside the downtube of the bike frame. No single stand is going to work so I need something to support the front half of the bike off the ground while using my Park Tools stand for the...

    Why are the e-bike sold only with heavy inefficient fat tires?

    I have traveled thousands of miles on conventional human powered road bikes and fatter tires take a lot more energy to move down the road and I would have thought that a eBike that is going to be used on the pavement would have a narrower tire to get more speed and more miles per charge. What am...
