I have a Creo Comp as well. While I'm not interested in making it more road worthy or putting on tires <42 mm, I did pick up a set of Roval Terra C wheels and put 42 mm S-Works pahtfinder tires on it. It was a very noticeable seat of the pants improvement from the stock 47 mm Tracers that come...

Are you completely ruling out a flat bar bike? Even if so, maybe consider a Vado or Vado SL step thru with a drop handlebar swap. Going e-shifting would also make the swap a little easier. If the kid's Levo SL were still sale priced at $2500 and _if_ there are suitable 24 inch tires available...

While it may be hard to find, be sure to test the standover height on the alloy Creo. I wouldn't trust Specialized published specs, esp for an unreleased bike. As an example, the Tero 5.0 lists the same standover height for M and L frames. From test riding both, I know this is not the case.

Maybe you are running an older version of the app? On Android, it now shows firmware versions. Not sure about IOS but it seems spec updates the Apple versions first. My bikes don't need an update but I"ve read on the Creo facebook page that someone recently updated their bike's firmware from...

I have a Tero 5.0 and I have replaced the 29x2.35 GCs with Sworks 42 mm pathfinders for road/smoother gravel with no issues with the smaller circumference wheels. In fact it actually more closely matches the factory set WHc (my Tero was programmed as a Vado with 650 B 2.3 in pathfinders I...

Skitch was (and is still not) available in my size. So got a Creo 2 comp, swapped out the handlebars and brake/shifter levers for a flat bar, flat bar brake levers (same as on my Tero) and an AXS shift pod. Added Ergon GP2. And the Skreo was born :). Turns out the additional parts still...

While it likely doesn't help overseas searches, just got an email announcing discounts on the Tero X 4.0 (3750 down from 4500) and 5.0 (4250 from 5500) as well as further discount on the Tero 5.0 (bike I paid $5000 for is now $3500). Demand for bikes is down industry wide and these discounts...

Exactly. Comparing two different bikes using two different frames doesn't really address the viability of swapping bar types on either of them. By offering flat/drop bar versions on the same frame, Santa Cruz Bicycles shows it is viable. And since the LBS has already done the swap on other...

There is a bike path along the river that has numerous underpasses. When there is heavy rain the path floods and when it recedes it leaves a coating of very slick river silt. So in the rainy season I do a similar thing, I swap out the Pathfinders on my Tero for 2.35 Ground Control up front and...

No doubt there are cases where converting drop bars to flat might create a sizing issue. But every frame size is already expected to have a range of rider heights/proportions. Santa Cruz use the same frame for both flat and drop bar versions. The general sizing guidelines show that for a...

On topic, I will say that if you can afford both the Skitch is a clear choice for me. Unfortunately it is still not available in my size. So like the OP, I decided to pick up a Creo 2 Comp. The clincher was the LBS said they had already done a couple flat bar conversions for the Creo and it...

Had similar experience. Charged the bike to 80% a couple days ago. Just before starting the ride today charge reads 83%

I don't have experience with Swissstops yet but am considering for replacements when needed. Looks like the ebike specific pads are "hardened" for longevity/fade at the expense of stopping power/noise. Depends on your own preferences which you choose to prioritize...

Haven't tried the Marathons, but 38 mm pathfinders fit fine on my 4.0 EQ. 42mm SWorks pathfinders will rub on the rear fender mounting bolt. Didn't try the front since I had the fender removed at the time.

From the Creo 2 user manual: The charge level of the battery is displayed during your ride on the display of the MasterMind TCU. The charge level can be customized to show in any of the fields on any page of the MasterMind TCU. At approximately 15-20% (depending on cell temperature and other...

My guess is that they will eventually introduce the 1.2 motor to the Vado SL line and want to clear inventory of the old models. OFC since they are still selling the earlier non-mastermind models they may just be clearing inventory ;). My bet is the 1.2 will come to the Vado SL as it has...

I went tubeless a little over 2 years ago on my 4.0 SL and about a year ago on my Tero. Combined I probably ride aroun 5-7k miles per year. On tubed bikes, I probably had to change a puncture flat approx 6 times a year. On tubeless I haven't had to do any road tire changes. I did have one...

I don't think so. Various websites will show rim/tire compatibility. Keep in mind that mfg spec for rims and tyres can vary as well. So if you are not sure, check with your LBS before you buy tires that are nominally outside the listed compatibility ranges. As far as the 42mm pathfinders and...

I've been running tubeless on my Tero 5.0. As long as the gravel/trail is not loose/sandy - I"ve really liked running S-works 42mm Pathfinders. They are about 400 g/per tire lighter than the stock Ground Controls. Roll extremely well on pavement which I also do. No buzzing either. For...

Not everyone has a 2nd full power bike ;). And unless you never use sport or turbo settings on your SL you should understand there are times when more power is more better. If the SL is just a workout bike, why E-bike at all? Everyone's fitness level and ride profiles will differ, so in...
