Hey you finally bought a bike! Now I can regard your comments with credibility. :) My understanding is the 21 Espins can also be programmed now. I have one on order and will report on it when i can verify. Is the quality OK on your 700? I was going to buy a used one from a friend, but the...

If they are S-Ride shifters (not SRam), I believe the front trigger can be pulled as well as pushed like Shimano. Gives the option for rider preference. The SRam X4 ones on our 2020 flow are push-push only and less nice to use, but we adapted pretty fast. Thanks for the feedback.

How so? Gearing range is now 13-32 vs most likely 12-34 you have on your sport (we have 11-34 on our flow) . Am disappointed they reduced the range. I'd ask how readable the display is, but sounds like you aren't looking at it in bright sun with sunglasses on.

Hi there, can those of you who received their Nero comment on how well the shifter, derailleur and gearing works on it? Reason i ask if I'm about to buy a sport and hey've gone to the same S-Ride equipment. My understanding is the shifters pull to upshift with your index finger? Are they...

@Taylor57 How did that ride go? Did you make it all the way to the top? Curious.

Some other items that I understand will be on the bike: Working brake lights, larger pedals, sturdier rear rack, tires appear to be CST jackrabbits 27.5x2.1 . I believe the assist levels will be customizable too. All around a nice update.

the current 2020 bikes with SRam are shipping with 11T top gear. Works great. Sorry to see them go backwards on this area, but everything else seems better.

@BigNerd thats right, it doesn’t change start or end rate - it just adds more steps between levels. I set ours to 9 and it is a help IMO to have those extra levels. The only downside is it’s a lot of clicks when you want full power. In tinkering around with custom settings I think the only...

Not sure what need you are trying to fill, but on mine I just put a Cateye cyclometer on it so I could tell overall miles, odeometer, current speed, etc. Was a little bit custom as I had to lenthen the sensor wires to run it off the front wheel, but it’s worked perfectly since I got it sorted out.

I don’t have a dog in this race as the bike works well for me, but I don’t think this could be correct. Why? If you reduce to a low gear ratio you can pedal like mad and not exceed the power of the PAS setting. If it varies based on pedal speed then the gear ratios would play havoc with it...

Thanks - will remount. Seems like that fender bolt is 80% of the assembly. 😂

Good question - mine is in front and I don’t see how mounting it behind is possible with the tab of the fender mount poking up.

I just added a thread of all the niggles we had with ours and how we fixed. Just FYI.

Just thought I’d document this for anyone who receives a new bike of problems we had: Sticky - PAS button. Fixed with WD40 Tube bulging out of front tire. Deflated, reset tube and refilled Tick tick noise at front wheel. Though it was brake pads but was front brake line. Fixed with zip tie of...

Yep, had the same problem and it was the brake line rubbing the spokes. It is not well secure up there - I added a fat black zip tie to the fork leg to keep in in place. Should have mentioned that somewhere.
