    Creo and chainring/cassette configurations

    For my Carbon Comp Creo EVO, I had the LBS change the 46T chainring to a Praxis 44T chainring. They did not shorten the chain. The 2021 Creo models that come with a 44T chainring have a 4 bolt pattern instead of the 5 bolt that comes on the 2020 model. The Praxis 5 bolt ring is threaded and...

    Creo and chainring/cassette configurations

    I would prefer lower gearing rather than higher gearing. I live at Brighton UT at 9000 ft altitude so regardless of which way I go (to Salt Lake valley, Park City, or Midway), I have a lot of climbing (and fast declining) to do (passes are about 10,000 ft). Midway UT to Guardsman pass is an...

    Here is one of the FAQ questions on the Trek website and their answer. Can I ride my electric bike in the rain? Yes! High-quality electric drive systems are designed to withstand washing and rainfall.

    Specialized’s ultra-light 120-mile range e-bike - Turbo Vado SL

    Some additional information to put these two Canyon rides in perspective. I weigh 180 lbs and am 64 years old. I have ridden bikes a lot throughout my life, but mostly road/commuting and less mountain. I am not in the best of shape yet this year. I did not ride much last year while...

    Specialized’s ultra-light 120-mile range e-bike - Turbo Vado SL

    Not sure about 100 miles, but I rode the same route this week (different days) on both a Creo SL Carbon Comp Evo and a Trek Allant 8S. Limitations in a direct compare since there are different assist levels, and other variables. The route: 15 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah, 4500 ft...

    2020 Allant + 8S Battery Issues

    Yes, I ride in the Canyon but with an unassisted bike it was a little much to do often so I would transport the bike to the valley. Being able to limiting transporting the bike, ride the canyon more frequently, and ride over Guardsman and Empire passes to go to Park City were big factors in...

    2020 Allant + 8S Battery Issues

    I have had an 8S for about 6 weeks. Sometimes when I hit a bump, the motor shuts off. I can easily restart it by pushing the start button or sometimes it quickly comes back on by itself. I believe I got error code 606 one time. I have not taken it back to the shop yet, but plan to at some...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    RE: Brake squealing: Disc brakes are less likely to squeak if they are broken in. If they get too hot the pads can get a glaze on the surface that causes the squeaking. The pads can be taken off and sanded lightly with fine sandpaper to get the glaze off. Avoid getting grease, including...

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    I have the 8S and have not experienced this noise. Has anyone else with the 8s and the identical motor reported these issues. If not, perhaps it is non-motor related. I have a clicking sound with mine on occasion, but I think it is the saddle making the noise. I can get out of the saddle or...
