I use a Garmin 530 to record my rides. I just reviewed some of my rides over the last couple of months on the Wahoo Kickr and on Creo outdoor rides. The average power output is within 10 or 15 watts, regardless of device, definitely not double. I have a gut feeling the Creo may be showing...

I'm confused. Which of the four buttons in the photo are the two for the assist level? I'm leaning toward placement on the tops as well but the buttons look larger and more obtrusive in the photo than I expected them to be! My thinking is that I will usually go to the tops when I'm...

I've used regular tires on a wheel-on trainer in the past, however most of the miles were on an old pair of 23 mm tires I had swapped out for 25's for improved comfort. It is true they wear quickly down the centre line but if you have an old tire or want to replace a rear tire (they wear faster...

I know this is an old thread, but the title matches my question. I finally took delivery of my long awaited Creo alloy model last week. Too much snow to ride outside just now but wanted to set things up so I'm ready. I use a Garmin 530 and it readily picked up the Creo as a sensor, however I...

Getting a rear wheel back on can be a struggle even with a bike without fenders, and getting chain guck on your hands is often unavoidable. Like most things, it gets easier with practice. I would add one more step to your process, which is based on experience. Before putting the tire back on...

Thank you for the replies everyone. The links you provided were very informative, Sierratim and real world experience is always good, Captain Slow. Given the constraints dictated by the bottom bracket motor it's no surprise that Q-factors for them are increased over what has been 'normal' but...

Some of the reviews I've read suggest the q-factor (distance between left and right crank) on the Creo at 181 mm will be an issue for some riders coming from an acoustic road bike at around 140 mm. I've been worrying about this while awaiting my Creo delivery in November and it occurred to me...

Hmm, the specs on the E5 (alloy model) don't show the remote in the Canadian site specs. However I did notice that they're now speccing Future Shock 2.0 and 105 disc brakes. Of course the disclaimer is there "Specifications are subject to change without notice". Guess I'll just have to wait...

My Vado 4.0 has seen a lot of gravel, though to be fair it has been mostly on well groomed rail-to-trail routes. The large volume tires and suspension fork serve to make even rougher gravel trails enjoyable. I don't think I'd go so far as to try single track, but at 70 I think my single track...

Re: Pedalling Through Turns As in most things, it depends:p A lower bottom bracket, whether due to frame design or wheel/tire size, increases the risk of pedal strike, however a number of other factors play a role as well. The sharpness of the radius of the turn, speed (which effects the...

Thanks for the prompt reply @RMK! . By the way, love the colour of your Creo ... which may have to do with mine being the same.

Sorry, screwed up my previous post and couldn't see a way to edit it. To clarify, I have an alu frame creo on order with an ETA of November :( I see @RMK! is replacing the stock 28 mm tires with 42 mm tires, so there will be some increase in the diameter of the wheel as a result and I...
