Hi guys just wanna say the guy serving you in the vid is my brother jack and I can definitely say as far as bike knowledge goes he definitely knows his stuff couldn’t be more proud of him thank you guys for giving him a shoutout and I know you’ve got yourselves something really special there all the best hope you enjoy your new bike really awesome video 👍👍👍👍😊
Wicked. Jack is indeed a top bloke, really helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for the comments.
Hi love the look of the creo 2 and your vlogs! Could I ask rusty if he thinks the new creo2 comp has more torque/power than the creo 1 comp as it says it has 50nm torque instead of 35nm on the original and big gears? And is the weight the same? Thanks you lyn
I can certainly say that Rusty's bike has more torque as I'm usually behind him these days on the hills! Weight wise, looking on Google and depending on frame sizes, the Creo 2 is pretty much the same weight as the Creo 1, 1-2 lbs difference maybe. Glad you enjoy the channel. @@8259lv
thanks for the share. Lovely bike 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great looking bike, looking forward to it's 1st proper run.
You and me both!
Great looking bike, will look forward to your gravel rides together. You are right about the charging plug for the Mahle X35 system,it either engages first time or takes ages. I have put a spot of white paint on the charge plug and the docking port to make lining up easier.
Great tip there 👍 orbea will still get used. Have some awesome rides planned can't wait for the spring to come better weather 😀 cheers Russ
Thanks for the comments 👍
Jack at Specialized Bristol is a top man for sure, helped me out many a time. Rusty's Creo 2 is the same colour as mine and is an awesome bike. I have swapped bit on mine to make it a bit more road focused (carbon wheels, 28mm tyres, removed dropper) and it now rides better than my old Creo 1. Rusty will be grinning for weeks
Hi buddy I had a quick spin on it yesterday what a treat it was.
Quick question can the kph be changed to mph I went in to the settings on my phone couldn't find it. Cheers Russ.
@@russellpickford2681 Yes, it is via the phone app, from memory need to set unit as metric or imperial. Not got speed on mine as use Garmin. Mine shows gear, mode and battery status as default
Couldn't agree more!
I need the dropper to get on and off!
That's a great idea 💡 👍
rusty thats one crackin looking bike enjoy every pedal stroke .
That's Rusty's plan!
Dunnoh about UK but in US Creo 2 is very scarce on the Specialized website. I was on and off the website for a month and for the $9k version (mostly for the CF wheels) a 52 cm frame was available for about 5 days and hasn't reappeared since. None of the other sizes have ever been available. For the Comp version, main diff being Al wheels, a 54 cm size was available for about 4 days in March so I ordered one for delivery to the local shop. Initial impressions after 200 miles: need smaller tires, so ordered second wheel set, duplicate of the OEM except flat spokes instead of round and put Gravelkings 36 mm on and the wheel set is 2# lighter than the OEM all due to the tires. Bike is fine for moderate gravel with the Gravelkings. Second change was to flat topped bar as the OEm round is hard on my hands. Dropper SP seems superfluous as Specialized warns against jumps greater than 6" high or aggressive downhilling, but after pulling the post I found it to be pretty light by dropper standards and would maybe save 8 oz. Not worth the trouble. On a typical fairly flat ride (under 2000' in 40 miles) with ECO on the full ride the bike uses about 1% of charge per mile. If ECO is turned off on the flats and mostly used for hills I can hang with a 15-17mph group for 40-50 miles and use ~20% of charge. Brief experiments with Turbo suggest battery consumption in the 5%++/mile range. Not sure what use I will get out of the 47mm OEM tires, may instead get a road type 32mm set instead, TBD.
I get the sense that supply in the UK is not an issue compared to the situation in the USA which is a real shame. I will leave it up to Rusty to comment on dropper posts and the other observations you have made. Appreciate you taking time out to comment. Cheers.
Enjoyed the video and planned to visit the shop yesterday (Sun) and it was closed according to Google. We have a Creo 1 each and are thinking of an upgrade, the store & Jack looked awesome. Although yours is a higher model than ours I will be interested to see what has changed and how the new motor performs compared to the original in real world conditions. Looking forward to your next video.
The Creo 2 from the store is much more Gravel focused with 47mm tyre and dropper. The new motor is the start of the show, but the new future shock is also much improved. I have swapped bits out on mine to make more road focused and dropped over 2kg from the weight in doing so
Jack doesn't work every day best to phone the shop to see which days he works he certainly knows his stuff. Had a quick spin on the new bike first thing I noticed was how the power was smooth & quite. Can't wait to get it dirty now Russ
@@russellpickford2681 To save some battery, I would recommend reducing the power setting on eco and sport as these are stronger than the Creo 1. Easy to do on the app if you find the battery life is on the short side for you
Thanks for sharing!
@@darrenhitchcox6345Please share how you’ve done to get 2Kg lighter.
Nice! That is an absolute flying machine. Must have cost a bomb. They pronounced SRAM wrong, it's like its written, like SPAM, with an R, not shhhrrram. Specialized are really good for warranty, the best.
Sram! Always easy for us Bristolians to add a R in to the way we say things. LOL
A big thank you to my mate chubb for filming the collection. Had a quick spin 20 miles got to say the bike is so smooth & quite the power delivery is amazing. Cheers Russ
No problem 👍
Hi looks fantastic! Is the creo 2 more powerful than the previous creo 2022 with 35nm of torque and what is the weigh please I love the look of the yellow version! Can’t wait to see your review of the bike 😅😅😊
Defo more power than the previous version. Weight wise I don't think there is much in it depending on frame size. Go for it, there are no pockets in shrouds! One life, live it!!@@8259lv
Cat believe I won. Email sent fella's. Love your accents.
Congratulations.
That lovely guy with the lovely haircut is my amazing uncle ✨ :D
Wish I had an Uncle that knew as much as Jack does about bikes!
Hi, Great video - thanks for making it. Couple of questions:
Was the fit and handover included in the price or was that and extra or done as they knee you were youtubing it?
And will you be doing a follow up and review once you have had chance to get out on a few rides?
I'm pretty sure the fitting session is part of the package (especially given how much the bike is worth!). I'm sure we will get a review out of Rusty soon. Thanks for the comments.
ok, so you now have a Creo. 4 years more than 20,000 kms. If they still come with Praxis crank chain wheel, swop it for a Wooftooth, i have a 44tooth, as i like a higher cadence cos of my knees.
Creo 2 is now SRAM chainrings and much improved over Praxis. On Creo 1 I had Garbaruk and did 6000 miles without a single chaindrop
Thanks for sharing.
Looks smart that, fair play Rusty. What sort of range can you get out of one of those? Do you mainly use the battery assistance on inclines?
Hi Rob I've only been on the bike once so haven't put it through its paces yet. I'm sure there will be a video how I'm getting on .
Cheers Russ
Take the plunge Rob. Use the cycle to work scheme - no brainer!
I’m tempted. Need to do some research.
Where did you place the buttons for the turbo modes/ Why did you choose that spot?
Hi buddy the blip buttons are fitted under the brake levers that's the standard place . So you can push with your thumb 👍
Thanks for the question - question mark!
nice times
The best
What is the attachment on the left side of the handlebars? It looks like some type of clip.
I think that's the lever for the dropper post. Some people have it on the drops but Rusty had it on top of the bars as recommended by the technician in the store. Thanks for the question.
Did you get 1 or2 derailleur batteries?
You get one battery with the bike the range is about 600 miles before charging.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the comment.
How tall are you to ride a 52, and how do you like the size?
I'm 5'8 the bike fits me perfectly I sat on a medium it was definitely to big had the seat post at the lowest setting. Jack recommended small frame size 👌 hope this helps Russ
@@russellpickford2681 thanks, how are you liking the bike? Lower noise snd better comfort are the draws for me right now. Still sold out..
Suggest you do what Rusty did and get fitted properly at a shop.
