    Why does The 2024 Orbea Gain M30 X20 Suck, Compared to My 2019 Orbea Gain M20 X35?

    I guess I thought that 100% was 100%. What am I missing?

    Why does The 2024 Orbea Gain M30 X20 Suck, Compared to My 2019 Orbea Gain M20 X35?

    Sorry you are having trouble. The 2024 is markedly different from the 2019. As you know the x35 supplies a given amount of power no matter what the rider is generating, whereas the x20 gives a percentage of the power that the rider is generating and never more than 100%of the rider's power...

    Creo vs Creo 2 geometry

    I agree. If Specialized thought that an e road bike would sell they would have made one. They straddled the line with the original Creo and now have gone to mostly gravel with the Creo 2. The gravel market must be larger. Gravel bikes are more versatile, gravel bikes are ok on the road and can...

    Scott Solace 20 eRide after 3 Months

    It is strange that both the Scott and the Trek might have this issue. Scott uses a Shimano crankset, while Trek uses a Praxis. The bottom bracket axle on the TQ motor is 135mm, which should leave plenty of room for a 2x. The early Creos, even though they were 1x, had problems with the chain...

    Order bikes from Specialized brick & motor store or indie dealer?

    l think of a LBS as an independent store, but if you already know that you want a Specialized it is nice to be able to see and test ride the various models. There are significant changes in bike...

    Wahoo ELEMNT (Roam and Bolt v2) on Specialized e-bikes (Garmin Edge compared)

    Stefan, I like the Wahoo and their system, in fact I suggested that you look at the Wahoo a few years ago. I read about Wahoo's financial problems on DC Rainmaker and they do not seem in significant. Illustrative point of what happens when companies are bought and sold is what has happened...

    Wahoo ELEMNT (Roam and Bolt v2) on Specialized e-bikes (Garmin Edge compared)

    My Wahoo did the same thing this week. I have not been able to get it to reboot and I am giving it time for the battery to drain. I wonder if it was not caused by an update. If I have to replace it I think that a Garmin might the smarter choice, Wahoo has been having financial difficulties lately.

    Trek's version of the SL?

    I think that these Domane + SLR will give Specialized a lot of competition. As you say, they are about 2lbs lighter than a Creo. They also have 2x drive train, quieter motor with higher newton meter rating and a 165mm Q factor. The motor has been available on the Fuel EXe and had been getting...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Aren’t the SRAM cassettes 12 speed? You might look at Garbaruk cassette, they get good reviews and have models that fit the Shimano hub.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Somewhere I read that the Creo is similar to the Diverge, but comparing it’s geometry to the Creo there are differences. Also the Diverge is set up as a gravel bike. The Roubaix is the most similar road bike. Not to start an argument, Specialized bike cost more than similarly equipped bikes from...

    Creo Expert EVO Chainring Help

    The current non Evo Creo Expert comes with 10-42 and 46 chain ring. My Creo came with 11-42 and 46, I spin out at 29 to 30 mph. A 50 up front might hit the chain guard.

    Garmin Edge (or Wahoo Elemnt Roam) and Specialized Turbo e-bikes [RESOLVED]

    The Wahoo searches for sensors when you turn it, so the bike needs be on first. Last summer I was going on long rides and at rest stops the Wahoo would stop recording ebike data. I could get the unit to reconnect by briefly pushing the on/off button. It would scan again and reconnect with the...
