    Can you tell us about the accessory that allows you to connect the Garmin Varia tail light to the Mirror saddle? Thanks.

    My Direct to Consumer experience

    My scale reads 27.7 prior to adding the Varia tail light and computer. My wife inherited my 2021 Creo Expert SL which weighed in at 28.9 lbs. The BIG difference seems to be the wheels. And it feels like that when riding.

    My Direct to Consumer experience

    I recently completed a Specialized Direct to Consumer transaction. Here are the specifics. I contacted two Specialized dealers in pursuit of a 2022 S-Works Creo Size Small. Both said the same thing: the earliest they could imagine receiving the bike would be August, and maybe later depending on...

    My Creo (and other bikes probably) has a clutch on the rear derailleur and I did not know it

    Since the topic has digressed to flat prevention here's a suggestion in the tubeless game. I fitted Vittoria Air Liner inserts three months ago and could not be happier: https://www.vittoria.com/us/en/bike-accessories/tire-inserts/air-liner-road Running Vittoria Corsa c30 tires. Just a wonderful...

    I found the Di2 battery on my Creo SL Expert

    BillCT: I started this thread because the information I could find at the time was a but sketchy. You do not need to remove the battery to attach the WU111. But you will be required to be very patient, have good light, and nimble hands. It took me about 30 minutes mainly because I was scared I...

    Two E-Creo issues: Range Extender depletion/Firmware Update

    I think the information Specialized covers the issues in question. The attached file is the specific Range Extender explanation as to their recommendation for use: https://specialized.picturepark.com/Go/vR2G3TWg/V/59324/1

    Specialized Creo (all models) - Longest Rides/Biggest Climbs

    I'll chauffeur the elephant out of the room here since respondents seem sheepish (or unwilling to admit) about using the settings provided by an $9,000 ebike: I use Eco, Trail, and Turbo every ride on the Creo SL Expert. For me the point of acquiring an Ebike was (as the slogan goes), "You, only...

    Questions about the Turbo Creo SL Expert EVO

    If you have a PC (Not Apple) computer you can access Shimano E-tube app to upgrade Di2, change the shifting levers (left up/ right down) and set up the additional top of hood attributes. Lots of options here. If you were to go one step further and install the wireless D-FLY Shimano EW-WU111 (not...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Gorgeous bike. You will not regret this investment. Should the TCD not be enough data, the Garmin connection (830, 1030) will allow you so many possibilities including top of hood quick choices. The Ebike app via Garmin (Jan Carpek) is pretty close to perfect in terms of battery life data on the...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO Vs SL Expert

    2021: Chain guide and handlebar mounted power level remotes. On a 2020 you can add the remotes, you would have to find an alternate solution to the chain guide.

    2021 Creo Road Remote?

    As others have stated, the remotes are really easy to relocate. This is my third position and (for me) is perfection.

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO Vs SL Expert

    The 2021 Creo SL Expert that I own in Smoke/Black/Carbon is easy to take care of. Damp microfiber cloth after every ride seems to work quite well.

    I found the Di2 battery on my Creo SL Expert

    Shimano Wireless Unit EW-WU111, Shimano Electric Wire EW-SD50 (150mm), Shimano Tool, Shimano TL-EW02 E-Tube Plug Tool. Knowing what I know now I would choose this tool from Park: EWS-1. Be VERY careful in making the connections, the connectors have to "snap" to connect. There's plenty of videos...

    I found the Di2 battery on my Creo SL Expert

    I installed the Shimano wireless unit today. Its pretty dicey getting the additional cable and the WU111 in front of the battery. It took the better part of an hour to find the right position to use the Shimano tool to "click" the cables into place. The Shimano tool is essential. I later found...
