    Garmin Varia eRTL615 wiring

    Well I spliced the orange wire (pos), and black & green wires (neg). It seems to be working normally. I'll take it out for a test ride tomorrow.

    Garmin Varia eRTL615 wiring

    I would have bought the cable except I didn't want to dive in and drop the motor and snake in the new cable. I have red/black hot 12V that my old light was spliced to at the seat post. @stompandgo do you remember the wiring?

    Garmin Varia eRTL615 wiring

    I'm diving into the splicing of the 615. After getting up the courage to cut the device cable I find 6 wires, black, orange, green, white, brown, pink. My bake has red and black cable confirmed 12v. Which of the 6 wires do I splice to?

    Garmin Varia eRTL615 wiring

    Good advice @stompandgo! I really don't want to drop the motor. My current rear light is spliced in. Maybe I'll post some install photos. Thanks to everyone.

    Garmin Varia eRTL615 wiring

    The bike already has a light and motion rear light wired into the internal factory cable. This light runs on 6-12v. was just wondering if it comes with a correct cable or will I need to splice etc. I could run both lights, but of course I'm lazy and don't want to bother charging the Garmin. 🤣

    Garmin Varia eRTL615 wiring

    I ordered a eRTL615 rearview radar for my 22 Topstone Neo 2. The bike is already internally wired for rear light to the Bosch battery. Has anyone wired this up to the bosch light circuit? Do I need another cable? I know I'm lazy but recharging the Garmin while I have a huge power source seems...

    Bought Cannondale Topstone Neo5

    My topstone neo carbon 2 is 2x. The 3 & 5 are 1x. The neo 2 is a closeout bike, so they may not have the 2x frames anymore. Honestly with the Bosch power I rarely drop down on the front derailleur, only on serious climbs. Give Cannondale a call some night. lol

    Anyone cross shop a Neo x3?

    60# says it all. I love the same drivetrain in my Topstone Neo 2 at 40#. I have a 50# Trek Rail and it's no fun getting it on my car rack.

    It's time to make Tucson's Loop an ebike tour destination...here's why

    Just spent a month in Tucson and clocked 250 miles on the loop. pedal assist e-bikes are legal per tucsonloop.org. Many e-bike rental shops. The safety issue on the loop imo is really the pros training at 28-30+ mph. There was a head on collision between two analog cyclists last year, one died...

    Cannondale Black Pearl color match suggestions?

    I found a "black pearl" touchup kit at my local auto parts store. Pretty darn close match.

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    You are correct Brendon. Stopped by my LBS and they confirmed. Thanks!

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    Cannondale offered this bar and stem as options on the TS Neo 2. Not much exposure it appears. I think the kiox can be mounted there also.

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    Anyone swap out the stem/handlebar for internal cable routing? 2 extra watts isn't a deal maker but would be a cool clean look

    Bought Cannondale Topstone Neo5

    Fooferdoggie I finally figured out the two apps. the cannondale app appears to mostly keep track of miles and maintenance. ebike-connect does routes, and interacts with strava pretty well. there are a few videos on youtube that walk you through it. Without you guys I would still be wandering...

    Bought Cannondale Topstone Neo5

    Me too. I downloaded and linked up the cannondale app. the shop never mentioned the bosch ebike-connect app and their website to make/import/export routes. Looking at both apps the cannondale app looks just like the bosch. Guess I'll play around and see what works. Thanks for the assistance...
