Invisiwrap makes a custom kit for the Creo. I used it. I’ll never manually cut wrap to fit again.

Yes, that’s correct. That’s the way it works. Both batteries are drained to equilibrium regardless of their initial charge states. I got a definitive answer from Nubnub last July. He was correcting some misinformation. Thanks.

Right = rear Left = launch Be careful out there. Learn to use both. And replace the pads. That’s enough miles.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes. My Creo is running 700 x 44 WTB Byways. Nice tires. But I now have a pair of Extralight René Herse Hurricane Ridge 700 x 42 tires in the shopping cart. I want supple, like the 650x47 WTB Byways, and the Extralight René Herse tires are built for a supple ride.

Good to know on the super lights. Tan walls can be more challenging with air and sealant as well. Your comments on the knobby center tread are appreciated. I was looking at Rene Herse’s Hurricane Ridge tires. I think I’ll stick with my WTB Byways for now. I like the smooth center tread for the...

Time for a new chain.

Lol

Did you get the standard, enhanced, or super light? I’m curious about Rene Herse tires. The supple (smooth riding and well cushioning) lightweight version sounds attractive, but if you’re not feeling it…

Congrats on the new wheels, and the new gravel set! Nicely repurposed. How are the Hurricanes working for you? Supple, grippy, and gnar absorbing?

I didn't buy from that website. I bought one from the Specialized dealer, and the S-Works Creo came with a RE battery. No scuffs, brand new. Came with the rubber band and the holder. You'll like them, they really give you peace of mind. I've never out-ridden the combo of bike + RE, but I've...

Sullivan Ridge is one over from the Will Rogers/Backbone Trail. There’s nothing more fun than Will Rogers down from The Hub. I just don’t know about climbing back up it. Have you gone up Will Rogers? Sullivan Ridge starts at the top of Capri Drive. Sullivan Canyon is an easier way up, and...

Congratulations on the new Creo. I bought the 2021 S-Works Creo which came with SRAM eTAP AXS. I already had an eTAP mullet setup on my dino gravel bike and I wouldn’t go back. So much fun. It eats up the hills heading back from the beach up to dirt Mulholland: Sullivan Ridge or Mandeville...

According to the review, there are “14,000 struts and 7,799 junctions“ on the Power Mirror. But the new Romin EVO has “22,000 struts and 10,700 nodes.” So there’s that, whatever that means. I guess it’s like getting more coils in your box spring mattress. Since the Romin is bigger, that may not...

Uh oh. Specialized just released a new Power Mirror Saddle for you. The Romin, undoubtedly from Romulus, and even more comfortable than the previous $450 model. I still have Specialized reward bucks left over from buying the Creo and Vado. Maybe I’ll get one...

It arrived in a plain brown wrapper. No return address. I bought two.

Absolutely true. One of the local shops in my area is a Specialized corporate store, but still has the same name from when it was privately owned. Great service for any Specialized customer. I’ve been to two other shops for service. No one cares where you bought the bike. They’re in business to...

Consumers don’t have to negotiate anything. I’ve never negotiated a bIke deposit and I’ve never been asked to deposit 100%. Not even on a Specialized. Specialized wanted a deposit on my Creo. It was in stock. They just needed a few days to set it up. I think they wanted 20%. I put down 50%. I...

I’ve never had to pay 100% before delivery. Deposits are negotiable.
