    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    I wonder if somebody can help me with a conundrum I have (actually several)? I have a Specialized Creo and use a Wahoo Elemnt BOLT v2 but my Creo is derestricted and as such gives a constant reading of 17kph which means when I connect the BOLT to LEV mode via Ant+, I get inaccurate readings. Is...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon/EVO -- Shimano HG to SRAM XD Freehub and Cassette Swap

    Does anybody know whether I need to use a specific Specialized bottle cage for the range extender battery or does it just work with any old bottle cage?

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    Having owned both the Orbea and the Specialized, I can safely say that the torque rating on the Orbea is not accurate. The Specialized feels as though it has 50% more power and it delivers it consistently whereas the Orbea delivered it in fits and spurts. I will say that both bikes have more...

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    My road Creo Expert is set up for gravel with 40c tubeless tyres and pedals weighs in at 29lbs. It’s absolutely fine on the flats although arguably more fun with a little bit of assistance to offset the weight, but I find that eco mode is enough to make if feel like a normal carbon road bike.

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO Vs SL Expert

    I use the Planet3 device and it was super easy to fit. The guy who makes them posted a step by step video complete with comical commentary on YouTube that walks you through all the steps, you will need a lockring tool to remove the old magnet and a torque wrench to set the correct amount of...

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I have to say, I'm a huge fan of this bike and was torn between the two, but ultimately decided to go for the Creo because it's much lighter. I've never ridden a Grail:ON but they look like a blast.

    Creo SL Comp Carbon/EVO -- Shimano HG to SRAM XD Freehub and Cassette Swap

    Yes, sorry, I mistakenly called it a chainstay.

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO Vs SL Expert

    I just wanted to say that I found this thread really useful when deciding which Creo model to get. I ended up choosing the Expert as I have electronic shifting on my other bike and really like it. My LBS matched the lowest internet deal that I could find, so I was happy enough with that. Since...

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    Having bought an Orbea Gain D31 in March 2020 and ridden it for a year and recently having replaced it with a Creo, I have to say that the Creo is far superior and the power delivery is much more linear and usable. The Orbea was a good bike, but the Mahle motor delivered the power very...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon/EVO -- Shimano HG to SRAM XD Freehub and Cassette Swap

    I'm new here too and after a week of riding my new Creo Expert, I'm spinning out at higher speeds and in need of better ratios. I really like the idea of the 10-42, especially when coupled with a 48t chainring. My bike is fitted with an XD Di2 rear derailleur which should work fine with the SRAM...
