This vlog starts with me visiting my local bike shop (Bike Shed), to have a look around and to get my Creo in for a service and to replace my faulty TCU. After collecting my bike, I take it for a ride, to test all the new kit added; it really did feel so much better.
My observations are the subject of this ride. So come along and enjoy another great cycling adventure.

Hi. I bought my cube from this shop. Great selection of bikes and gear. The staff I would question. I had leaking front shocks after 4 weeks, so I took it in for it's first check over and for the shocks to be fixed. They tried to fob me off saying there is no leaking and if there was is normal 😅. I did research this problem and found it is a cube problem. After quite a few phone calls they finally replaced them with the 2023 upgraded ones. Since then no leaks. Funny that 😄. They didn't carry out the free check over very well too as they missed a loose bolt on the chain ring 😢.
It's good they have come up with the protection gel for the connections, however it still doesn't sort out the problem that there is no waterproof seal between the tcu and the bike frame. The water gets in wether it's rain or when you wash it, and then it gets inside the tcu and onto the circuit board, even that seal is inadequate. Come on specialized, do something about it. I am on my 3rd tcu now . Nightmare, but love the Creo when it doesn't go wrong.
Hi Harvey what road tyre are you using and are they good? Thanks love the vlogs 😊
