They will be much lighter than alloy ones, mine were 270g v 180g a side from memory. They spin up much quicker I find

It will come up at time to time, but look at it this way. If the bike has an issue it will tell you on the TCU. Both Garmin and Wahoo give this message, ignore it.

The carbon cranks are a fair bit lighter than the alloy ones. in the 175mm the alloy ones were 280g and the carbon ones about 170g. Although 100 odd grams a side does not sound much, done as a percentage, this is roughly a 65% drop on rotational mass. The carbon cranks do spin up quicker for...

If it uses the same cells, it will 14 or 15 extra 18650. The batteries are 18mm wide 65mm long (1865 and the o means cyclinder). The 320w is arranged in welded packs of 9 with some odd ones to the side of the BMS. so I am also expecting wider

Yes, I assumed that would be the case, but not see a picture to confirm. The 320w battery is 40cm long, so there is not much space left for a longer battery !!

I was looking around to see if I could see a weight and size on the Vado 2 SL 504w battery, wondering if this would fit into a Creo 2 and what the weight penalty would be. It ended up leading me down a battery rabbit hole of confusing figures. The Creo uses Samsung 35e 18650 cells. there are...

I was using these as an example of what you are looking for, 2 separate arms with the DUB / BB30 interface to fit on to the motor spindle. I was not going to spend £500 on cranks when I could do the same for £120. My cheap carbon BB30's have been flawless for the last 1000 miles. The SRAM...

https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/specialized-levo-carbon-crank/138711608/p These are just the carbon crank arms for the Levo 2, but share the same fitment as the Creo 2. DUB refers to the spindle size (28.9mm I think). When looking for cranks, you must have 2 arms with no spindle...

The older BB30 has a bolt on the non drive side that states do not remove but once this is removed it splits into the spindle and separate arms. The later DUB cranks do not have this bolt and the spindle is bonded into place. SRAM charge an eye watering amount for the carbon DUB crank arms...

The link is not working for me, but with new SRAM, you need the arms only. With the old BB30, it was possible to remove the arms as separate and therefore fit a Creo 2. The newer cranks have a fixed spindle that can't be removed, which will not fit the Creo 2.

No, speed settings are held in TCU. The old firmware restricts the available power to draw on, as the Creo 2 is more powerful and needs more. The BMS (battery management system) will only allow a certain draw unless the firmware is updated

I do run both my Creo 1 and 2 in unassisted mode. My bike is subject to the 25kph assist limit, so the motor is not used over those speeds. Both my Creo's were under 13kg, the lighter making it easier to use unassisted. Both Creo's if can 100 miles out of the Eco setting. My Creo 2 in on 20...

For my Creo 1, I purchased 4 main batteries off Ebay as untested. 3 were good and I have 1 dead one. I was able to swap all these batteries into my Creo 1 with no firmware update needed and the live ones all worked well. I can do a battery swap in about 10 mins and once done a few times, it...

I used MTB boost wheels. The back is the same size at 12 x 148mm. The front is 15 x 110, so I used a 15 to 12mm reducer sleeve to fit Creo 1. I did 6000 miles on these with zero issues. I got a set of Newmen Advanced that only weighed 1350g for the pair and they were excellent.

I did look into these previously. The firmware is only for the SL1.1 and will not work fully with Creo 2. Similar to the existing Specialized RE's if the firmware is not up to date, it will only offer reduced power on the Creo 2. The Creo 1 does not have this issue. The cost was quite off...

Shortest I have in the road version is 165mm from SRAM. The Levo SL 2 has the same motor, but the cranks on these can flared out slightly with a wider Q factor, so be aware of the shape of them. It may be worth looking out on the MTB side as they do use more of the shorter cranks. When I...

I did not notice a change in Q factor. Here are the BB30 cranks on my bike. The drive side arm has the small silver ring for the normal spider to attach to, but I did not feel any additional width. I did feel the immediate lightness of the cranks and being fare easier to spin up with being...

I have the Creo 1 with Di2 hack to shifter and the Creo 2. I do prefer the Shimano, but the SRAM Apex on the Creo 2 comp is actually really good. It is not possible to put Creo power on SRAM, but the Creo 2 must have a remote to operate the Mastermind TCU. As stock you get the two button...

The Pirelli Cinturatu's are the best tyre for grip with damn good puncture protection that I have found. Have been pretty bomb proof since I fitted them the the Creo 2. Do get much glass on the road, but the tyres have stood up well. I have 2 new pair in reserve which I got an excellent price

I run two sets of wheels, depending on what I am riding. The original Creo 2 wheels have the 47mm, but I have installed Tannus Armour in these with tubes so they are all but puncture proof. For my road set up. I have a set of Newmen R38 with Pirelli Cinturatu 28mm tubeless. These give a fast...
