High 70s in San Jose today. I rode with a friend over to Calero Park and did a loop, on my Creo. Even with the sunny warm weather, we hit some spots of mud and we did two stream crossings. So the bikes got a bit dirty. Had to dismount once for a mid-trail cow. 26 miles and 1500ft...50/50 road...

Thanks for the lesson on land access in the UK. Really interesting! I rode a bridleway back in 2000s on a MTB bike loaned to me. the brake levers were reversed and that was a surprise, since I was not informed. no crash though. but almost! That was near Bracknell.

That is wild that you can ride through private properties! How long was that ride? it looks like half a day Bummer about the chain, you need to get that drivetrain sorted!

Yes, with the seat in a lower position, with the KS eTen, when you press the lever upward, the seat will extend until either the lever is released or it tops out or hits a resistance (your butt). While riding, you need to unweight the seat by standing on the pedals just long enough for the...

The 'How To Use A Dropper Post On The Trail' video is great, and while I have 5% of his ability, it shows how and when I use my dropper on my MTBs and to a lesser extent on my Creo. Jeremy, the under seat lever type of dropper is a different application you obviously need to take one hand off...

I forgot to comment on this...but this experienced ebike group probably has covered this many times. I came across a technique which allows you to pedal backwards to in order to use something like a chain cleaning device (which I use regularly): Just align the crank arm to one of the spider...

I am not a fan of proprietary seat post mechanisms. I didn't know the Vado SL has one. Is it this post? #3,319

Ebikelife72 is correct. standard stems can be used with the Creo 2 Future Shock with the spacer/shim which is in the accessory bag that was in the zipped case. and as EBikelife72 also pointed out the 'stack' (height of rear section) of the stem cannot exceed the stock height ( I measure 40mm on...

I used a link because I was trying to avoid the giant preview thumbnails you get when you just post a YT link. They seem a bit smaller now. but I am viewing this on a browser. So are you confident that you can use your repair stand with the new dropper?

Jeremy, that is a good great rule! He gave us many years of knowledge! BTW, he is retiring. just double check your seat clamp is tight. I was adjusting my seat before my ride yesterday and laughed as the seat post clamp has a 6.2Nm torque. my torque wrench does do decimals, but still !!

I found this video when I was discussing with a friend recently... A video from good ol park tool on the clamping dropper post topic. Shop Talk: Is It OK to Clamp My Dropper Post in a Repair Stand? < video link [fixed] Spoiler alert. Calvin says it is fine to clamp a seat post dropper. My...

The Range Extender was just delivered the other day. Today was my first ride with it installed. The Creo 2 Built-in Battery capacity is 320Wh, the Range Extender adds 160Wh. So, no more range anxiety. I chose a 30 mile route with a continuous climb of about about 15 miles. Of that, half is...

On my ride today. I was surprised by the radar hit being a very fast SUV Aventon type eBike riding in the middle of a road traffic. I was riding in the middle of a shoulder bike lane at a decent speed (in Eco mode) He was flying... approx 3x my speed. I have Garmin Varia RTL515 and it does...

Jeremy, earlier I looked up the KS eTen you are considering. it has a 20mm rear offset, where the TranzX JS has 15mm. They are the same price. the TranzX is also an older design, the eTen looks good to me. For maximum insertion depth, you can just measure your frame yourself, after removing the...

Yes, 50-75mm is adequate for some bikes, for some anatomies. I myself only have a 30in inseam. But still the Creo's stock 50mm dropper was inadequate for my riding, so I changed mine to 100mm. The paddle type is workable, it is just a slower process compared to remote actuated types. I would...

Good points @Nubnub Jeremy, the Creo 2 Comp stock dropper has been a TranzX Hot Lap, with 50mm of travel. The high end S-Works Creo 2 comes with SRAM Reverb AXS XPLR Dropper, the price is very high for AXS droppers when purchased separately. They are so great though, I have an AXS dropper on my...

Condolences to the bicyclist's family and friends killed in collision with e-bike rider. Also in the news today... Calif. dad gets felony charge over son's 60 mph e-motorcycle crash [Orange County father faces a felony charge]...

Yeah personal heat maps are enlightening and fun! keep it up. I dropped many subscriptions, including Strava. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage when I had access. Beans and rice and scrambled eggs, on the menu for me for the near future. Reality

in grocery getter mode to my favorite green grocer - Sigona's Right in front of the destination, I was nearly hit by a raised pick-up truck who decided not to turn left, from the TURN LEFT ONLY LANE. Thankfully I was in full power mode and avoided his 4000lb truck. I have rear red lights and was...

Planned/unplanned… In the late morning I reconfigured the bike a bit… changed from flat pedals to my regular SPDs removed the fenders also cleaned/lubed the chain and drivetrain added the Ortlieb Quick Rack and a trunk bag BUT, I did not change the chunky 45mm Vittoria Terreno T70 tires, they...
