    Yes! I'll take one - started a "conversation" here with you with my details! Thank You!

    Replacing Intuvia rocker switch

    The up/down switch on my Intuvia remote was hit while in transport, and the "up" switch cover was broken off. The actual switch works fine, it is just the "rocker switch cover" that is broken. The old appeared to be press fitted on via two small plastic pegs, which also have sheared off. Any...

    Ultra Low Step for limited mobility

    We're on hold right now. Between the knee replacement a year ago, which is limiting her step over, and a rotator cuff 6 mos ago, she's feeling pretty 'unstable" for biking. We tried a different Tern at a LBS, and she's too freaked about reinjury to try to overcome. We looked at a dropper...

    Ultra Low Step for limited mobility

    My wife was a big fan of her current Trek Lift+ Lowstep...but... a knee replacement and rotator cuff surgery has greatly lessened her mobility in getting on/off or getting a foot down for support when stopping/starting. She's fallen at stop signs, etc. a couple of times, and has pretty much...

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Still on the fence about this. I made sure the mount for the display wasn't too tight, and cleaned the Intuvia contacts. Problem hasn't yet returned, although riding time has been pretty unavailable for me lately to test well. I geek out on the tech - usually ride with my iPhone mounted, using...

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Do you have a link to the video. Came up empty searching for "Courtney"+"Nyon" Besides just needing something to work, am pretty intrigued about being able to customize the assist levels....

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Saw a video about these issues. Of course, now it is not acting up so I can't determine whether it is the display contacts (no mph) or the thumb controller that is the issue. Probably only fail after a rest point while on a long group ride!

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Might be a fun winter project....but not this winter. Heading south, where I can ride all winter rather than fight the snow drifts and -30F temps here in Minnesota..... so now to ponder - try to take apart the existing thumb controller to clean up contacts, and probably break it? Guess I...

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Well...I was under the impression from other posts it was pretty much a swap out of the back connectors on the head unit. If a total rewire, then not.... This old post (and a couple of others) led me to think it was a simple...

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Controls are getting a bit wonky on my Trek XM700+. Intuvia starts normally, but at times I cannot select any assist mode, and no power from the drive. Hitting "+" will very briefly display "Eco", then it drops back to saying "off" With a bit of playing, it all starts to work, and maintains...

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    Thanks all - the Kinekt with a Selle Anatomica saddle combo just didn't fit at all, so back to my Brooks with the 25mm setback. At least the refunds will cover the cost of getting the new fork!

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    For those with the Rock Shox forks - are you doing recommended maintenance every 50 hours (hydraulic fluid/deep cleaning)? Just saw their "how-to" video. Might be a dis-incentive....

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    Update: Two more bike shops were very negative on installing a suspension fork. But the bike wasn't with me, nor were they familiar with the one others have used. May have to do it myself. I tried a Shockstop stem, but because of the bar sweep back, there's no moment arm - it is designed to...

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    I'm in awe of the amount of miles! Have had mine for a bit over 3 years. Maybe this next summer I can get the mileage way up. Tried the charge port for keeping my iPhone topped up while riding, but not enough wattage. Have taken to velcroing on a small booster pack for that. Added a rear...

    XM700 upgrades

    Thanks David - I never knew about them, and was super excited when I stumbled on the description while surfing youtube about seat posts after posting the above..... But, big bummer - probably can't use one OR the Kinekt. Rechecked my bike, and I only have 3" between the top of the tube and the...
