While we’re at it, anyone know what a Range Extender weighs?

I was referring to the Turbo Creo SL Expert EVO (what a mouthfull) specifically, for it’s 12 speed 11-50 cassette and a whoop-de-do ETAP shifting. That one is nine grand all day long.

At the $4500 sale price in the US, the aluminum E5 bike is pretty hard to beat, especially if you want to get a little loud with it once in awhile out in the woods, and use racks on it. All responses on these sorts of subjects tend to the openly subjective, as it this one, but it worked for me...

Sneaking briefly back to the original subject here, all my riding since early December - what there‘s been of it in a cold and intermittently very snowy winter - has been on my 45 pound Giant gravel bike, while my Creo sat in comfort in the basement at my son’s house. Today I busted the Creo...

You and that Road-E have been a hell of a team, everyone knows that. I wonder how you’d bond with a Creo! But that motor on the Giant is an awfully strong entry, great balance of power and weight for the bike. I’m sorry to see that Giant is apparently abandoning the Revolt in the USA, at least…...

And wouldn’t it be nice if it was compatible with the current Creos.

Holy smokes, Art, I haven’t been paying attention! 800 and 900 wh batteries now? My 2018 Toughroad has 500 and my Creo‘s is a lot smaller than that. I had no idea batteries had gotten this big. The Specialized Tero is what, 720 or something like that? More to think about, Very nice looking rig...

Thanks Dave! Too bad for the Toughroad, we keep on at 500.

An 800 wh Giant battery? Is it reverse compatible with their other 500 wh bikes if you know? And good lord, what does that thing weigh?

A brisk 38 degrees but nice and sunny today… over the next three days we are expecting a foot to a foot and a half of snow.

I do. We have a great network of gravel/hard packed dirt farm roads and bike paths around here and next door in Washington County, along the Vermont border. All sorts of riding, and no shortage of hills. Those tires have a smooth contact patch they actually ride on, so they do surprisingly...

A Merle sig Tele is close enough! Yeah, we live pretty close to good old Parkway Music in Clifton Park, a place just as dangerous as a good bike shop.

A 55 Tele? For real? I thought I was a hot s*it with a 66 Stratocaster!

If I don’t jump ship on the Creo I intend to go to the Pros when these get a little more tired, just for the ability to go tubeless. I do love these Pathfinders, though.

They ain’t all that different in some ways, I think. I have a Creo and love it, but my back seems to be getting older every year and I find myself thinking about sitting up a bit more now. We’ll see. I see that the Vado has an 11-50 cassette as opposed to the Creo’s 11-42, so that is going to...

I sense that you’re looking for some basic knowledge here to make yourself more comfortable. You can’t go wrong with Park Tool How To videos, though there are many, many others: Basic repair patch kit, two tire levers, a spare tube (look up the Gaadi style tubes that can be installed without...

That’s so sad, I‘m so sorry to hear this. We talked on the phone a couple of weeks ago and it was clear this was coming, but he said more than once he’d had a great run and a great family around him. A real loss.

Hey John, good to see you again! I had the same experience buying my XM700 in 2017, although I had already bought my first “starter ebike the year prior. Saw it in the store and took a ride around the neighborhood. The brakes were the most amazing thing, I couldn’t believe how it handled and...

I always enjoy hearing people from Rockland County say they’re ”upstate”. Greetings and welcome from Saratoga County!
