    2021 Cannondale Synapse Neo EQ: New Synapse Model Showing Up in Europe

    Looks okay. I own the Synapse Neo 1 (2020) and overall love it, although the rear wheel Cannondale shipped with it had the wrong size spokes and the wheel developed a severe wobble after about 500 meters of riding (pretty terrible quality control IMO). This Neo Eq looks like a mix between the...

    Product Improvement:- Feedback to Bosch.

    Much like the farmers who hacked their John Deere equipment, I can now understand why many ebike owners want to work around all the obstacles in the systems. While I certainly don't condone tuning bikes to exceed street legal limits, I would give serious thought to it in order to simply bring...

    Regarding the roughly 3 - 3.5 km/hr discrepancy I'm seeing with my new bike and the Bosch Activeline Plus / Purion system... my bike shop had this to say... " I'll have to call Bosch about the speed error, I'm not too sure what we can do without their assistance. Their programming is pretty...

    Yup, I'd say that's one for the bike shop / service dept.

    My instinct leans towards checking that the spoke magnet is lined up correctly. I'd start there.

    Thanks for the info William. Really appreciate that. I'll work with my local bike shop, that's also a Cannondale dealer, and will try to sort out the speed issues. My Wahoo speed sensor and Roam are reading accurately when compared to others on group rides. The speed readout on the Purion is...

    Cannondale Synapse Neo SE or Cannondale Synapse Neo 1

    I recently purchased the 2020 Synapse Neo 1 and it's great. I'll be purchasing a second set of 650b wheels that I can hot-swap out for gravel rides. I have the Sram Apex 1 shifting on another bike and I don't like it. I'm used to Shimano. I ride mainly roads with the occasional light gravel...

    Does everyone use a torque wrench?

    Yes, always use a torque wrench here. Especially on carbon bikes.

    Purchased a new Cannondale Synapse Neo 1 with the 2020 Activeline Plus Bosch system. Also brand new to ebikes. I have a few comments / suggestions that come to mind after about one week with the bike... - The km/hr readings on the Purion are 3-4 km above what I'm measuring with my Wahoo Roam...

    What shoes do you ride with?

    sbd clips using Fizik M6B Cycling Shoes. Super comfy. Average ride is 50 - 75 km and have never had sore feet. 👍👍

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Rode this past weekend and managed to avoid a nearby storm. Beautiful day out in my neck of the woods (Northumberland, Ontario).

    ProBikeKit Don’t buy from them

    Strange and disappointing. I've purchased several times from them and have had good experiences. Hopefully they get back to you to sort things out.

    Are you telling me you are carrying the spare battery in a backpack?!

    I'm going to be carrying an extra Powertube 500wh with me also for longer rides (200 km +) and am leaning towards this setup on my Synapse Neo 1. Wondering how the width of this battery / bag combo is and whether or not your legs / knees hit it while pedalling?

    How are you carrying your extra battery?

    Brand new to ebikes (Synapse Neo 1) and am looking forward to doing some longer rides (200 km +). For those carrying an extra battery (or more) I'm curios to know how you're doing it (specifics welcome) as well as any tips or advice you might have. My setup uses a Bosch Powertube (500wh) and...

    Bosch Activeline Plus - inaccurate speed...

    I'm a little disappointed if the actual assist is cutting out at 26 - 27 km/hr since many of my fellow riders have an average speed of around 30 km/hr. I've done a 100 km on the new bike, typically showing the Purion speed of 30 - 32 km average, and my actual ride speed average is consistently...

    Bosch Activeline Plus - inaccurate speed...

    I've had my new Synapse Neo 1 (Purion display unit) for a week now and notice that its speed reading is about 3 km/hr faster than my wahoo speed sensor I put on the bike. This means the assist is cutting out at around 26 _ 27 km/hr instead of 30 km/hr. The wahoo speed sensor seems accurate, as...

    Hi from the Northumberland Hills in Ontario, Canada 🚴

    Thought I'd also share some pics from yesterday's ride. Managed to avoid a storm.

    Hi from the Northumberland Hills in Ontario, Canada 🚴

    Hi! Just purchased a Cannondale Synapse Neo 1 (2020) last week and am loving it. It's done an amazing job at flattening the steep climbs in my area and I'm having a blast. I've managed to put in just over a hundred kms so far and the bike is a pleasure to ride. I've typically been riding in...
