Still happy with the Feedback lift, but I would have given serious consideration to the Park PRS-30 announced today. Mechanical only but costs "only" 900. For me advantage of the feedback is still the smaller footprint and I do like the clamp design. Feedback also appears to be able to lift...

Have to agree that an elift makes life a lot more fun. Been using a folding style workstand for years. But with heavier ebikes, I can't one hand lift them to use the other hand to clamp onto the seatpost. So I've been clamping to the top tube. Besides being heavier, ebikes have tube shapes...

I think most CO2 inflators use threads to ensure a good connection.. Reading the reviews, seems the Spec one does as well. I'd recommend either carrying a valve core remover tool to tighten the valve core before screwing on an inflator. A few times I've had the valve core come out when...

I suspect you would be ok with either the Vado SL or Creo 2 SL. Note that the Vado 4.0 has an 11-42 Cassette while the 5.0 and Creo have a 50 tooth low. There is a short hill nearby that has a couple of 12-14% sections on it. I could handle it on my 4.0 Vado SL with an 11-36 casette as well...

I wonder how long 3rd party batteries will stay under the radar. I had not heard of this add on for the Levo, but there is another mfg offerering range extenders for SL 1.1 models...

Also keep in mind that the Vado 5.0 is spec with 650B wheels/rims that are unlikely to be stock tubeless ready. Minimum retape would be required but I think still iffy that the Sports will work tubeless with those rims. Similarr to the Vado 4.0 SL that also was not spec'd as tubeless ready -...

Tho it is unlikely to be available for purchase any time soon (or ever), the top flat bar Santa Cruz skitch specs have been upgrated to SRAM and now also includes a Rock Shox. Maybe by the time I'm ready to replace my Creo and -IF- Santa Cruz doesn't go under, it will be around for purchase. I...

The fender looks like it is also fixed to the seat stay bridge. If I recall correctly, the SL EQ I had the fender was secured further down by the chainstays/BB. In either case, the fender/rack provide mutual support for each other and it's hard to see you could have one without the other. I...

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%
