Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

Those are at least $2,500... I've been wanting a lighter wheelset but I guess I just have to live with mine.

There are cheaper quality wheelsets out there. I recently ordered a set of Chinese Yeoleo carbon wheels for my Cannondale Lefty 3. They were able to source a Lefty hub for me and build a custom wheel at no added expense. I originally wanted to go with Hunt wheels, but they weren't able to build a front wheel with the Lefty hub.
I'd be willing to bet that Yeoleo would be able to build a wheelset to fit a Creo for a very reasonable price.

Those wheels are beautiful.

I've communicated with them a looooong time ago, and during that time their offer didn't give me a weight advantage. How heavy is your pair?

The Yeoleo website list them at 1410g. The Lefty front hub might increase the overall weight slightly. My stock wheels are just over 2000g.

Thanks for the figures

Finest example of camo wheels that I've seen!!
Seriously, your frame, drivetrain and everything else on the bike looks spotless!

All stick and no splatter.

When I thought the last ride was bad...

Here are a couple of thoughts- that would make a great background wallpaper or perhaps send the image to Specialized showing them just how well the EVO does extreme off trail riding.

That segment was a nightmare, the Creo (with me) sank like almost 1/4 of the wheel. I was deep in the soft clay it was like a quicksand. I almost lost my shoes

That photo was taken after we were rescued by the locals.

Almost looks as if a typhoon just passed through the region!

It was the 4th typhoon that hit us here in the Philippines, and the strongest in 2020.

arnoldc, I see you have the ass saver seat fender. Was shopping around for something like that, how do you like it?

Surprisingly, it works well. It was on my Niner RLT9 and stole it for the Creo. All the mud was on my helmet, not on the jersey but the front tires did a lot of "mud slinging."

Nice EVO. What brand of seatpost bag is that?

 

[Amoto65]

It's an Ortlieb bag.

 

[tomyboy]

Out of interest, was the seat post originally a dropper and if so what seat post have you changed it too?

Evo has a dropper, replace it with S-Works, like SL mode have.

102 km, 1,000 m elevation, 16% battery left. I'm happy with my new tuning.
