Another thing to do is pop the TCU display off the top tube, pull out the cables and use some bubble wrap and electrical tape to dampen them. Those hard plastic cables are pretty loud against the fiber frame.

@Saratoga Dave - I'm going to accept that I'm your stalker and also made the journey from Yamaha Civante to Turbo Creo. Lol. In all truth I *wanted* a carbon creo at the time I bought the Civante, I just wasn't read to pay 2x the price. Specialized sale on XL at $5200 and a mid life crisis...

I've got a Carbon Comp SL coming in next week to dealer. Ordered from Specialized website with the remotes. I can't find info on the wheels that ship stock. It looks like same wheels across the models (Evo vs Carbon Comp) with different tire/tube sizes for the gravel variant. The wheels...

Hello! I currently have a Rad Runner with the passenger seat and use that to haul my 10 year old from home to camp and back. The bike has been fine, but I want something a bit quicker, comfortable, and love the integrated mirrors and blinkers. I looked at Nui e-Scooters but I live in Portland...

I'm at 500 miles and really have nothing but praise for the bike outside of the stock pedals. Those can be changed. The motor and tuning are just about perfect. I spend most of my time in Eco+. If I spent any significant time in standard I'd never go back. It's just too damn fun. :D

I have the +/-6 and 100mm stem. The seat post is the 27.2-30.9 shim. It's got a bit of rattle in the stem, but the cables are also very rigid. I'm not sure which is making the racket on hard nikos It's still an incredibly comfortable setup and I dearly miss it on other bikes. I crossed 400...

Finally got some clean air and a chance to get out. I've put close to 120 miles on it in the last week. This weekend we did around 25 miles around the SW hills and Lake Oswego in Portland. It was close to 1900 feet of elevation climb. The motor on this is an absolute dream on hills. If you...

Mine's been hanging in the garage since I bought it. It's a mess here in Portland. :(

Welp, yesterday was new bike day. :cool: Got my Redshift post and stem in and installed. My trunk bag on it and a couple other things. Dealer put on the rack and fenders. Unfortunately here in Portland mother nature has been a bit angry the last 36 hours. 60+ MPH winds have dropped power...

I've owned 2 class 2 hub drive bikes. My wife has a class 3 hub drive. I'm in the process of getting a class 3 mid drive. Hubs do what they do well, for a price point. If you just want easy get up and go or a throttle to twist to move you, they are fine. But most of them are cadence sensor...

It's a *very* different bike in standard mode. I'm in decent shape and tend to keep my pedal assist low so I did a lot in Eco/Eco+. But for fun I put it in standard and it's a wildly different experience. Like you said, it really doesn't care what gear you are in, it just pulls. With zero...

Well, I took the Civante back out for another 45 minute spin. I live in Portland, OR and did a 10 mile sprint to the top of Mt. Tabor and back. I put the front derailleur on the big ring and just left it there. I did about 800ft of climb with it on the big ring and the bike didn't break a...

Yeah that was probably going to be my plan. Just leave it on the large ring and treat it as a 1x. The "zero start" sensor to engage the motor makes it doable from stops in town.

Congrats! The groupset is the one piece stopping me from plopping down the money for it. I just did not like it at all and would have preferred a simple 1x setup.

Thanks for the replies, fellas. I haven't had drop bars in about 30 years, so this is quite uncharted territory for me. I've been flat bars (or swept back on my Rad Wagon) for decades. I'm just really used to the more mechanical/clicks and clunks of thumb shifting. The Apex felt more like...

I'm totally waffling between the Civante and Wabash. I test rode both this week and am struggling to choose. I much prefer the gearing setup and wider bars of the Wabash. The shifting felt much smoother and intuitive. It's also less things to go wrong with only being a 1x. I also like that...
