And now it’s a year later. Most things have recovered from the flood, some by moving to a new location. Both local bike shops have moved to new locations and are functional. Yay. Anyone else have more feedback on the tero x + transmission? I am also considering the trek fuel eXe as it has...

No thanks. For a few reasons. 1) I don’t think this is the thread for it. It’s about the MGU. 2) It’s not an electric powered bike at all, so maybe not on this forum? 3) This forum is pretty toxic. 4) Those things make it not worth the effort to me. If someone wants to start a thread about that...

I finally got to experience a pinion smartshift (not MGU). My advice is to run screaming from smartshift bikes like c1.12i. Honestly, I am just about completely converted to chain ( @Stefan Mikes are pigs flying?). This stuff isn’t ready for prime time. It’s not clear to me if/how the MGU...

The clipless has to be spd. And most of them do have weight limits (below me). The xc200 was unreliable for me. At that time I was slightly over the weight limit. But $1200 for something that drops connectivity and needs manual intervention to restore wasn’t gonna work. And, if I put on a...

Nope. Pedals are the simplest but have restrictions that don’t work for me. This bike isn’t worth custom options to me.

I was prepared to pull the trigger on the tero X 6.0 + gx eagle transmission (or possibly X0), but the flooding here destroyed just about every first floor business in downtown. Including the bike shop. It's going to be months before they are functional again. I believe this is officially a...

Report back how it works! I am thinking of ordering a tero x 6.0 and the gx eagle transmission.

It was there. I just never gave it a shot.

I wish I had on the IGH. That bike getting even easier to ride would be mind blowing.

The problem with the bike industry is it is possible the underlying problem is on enviolo's end. Specialized has zero control over that. It is still possible many of these problems that people have seen are fixable via maintenance that most LBS simply don't know to do/check. I am back to...

Stefan, I love your experience with things you actually own and have used for extended periods. Don't make this statement having never ridden the bike. For the record, I took my vado IGH on everything from sand/gravel to light single track. I promise you, the terrain I took it on puts any...

And now I love it even more. :)

I didn’t watch a tear down. But, if such a sensor exists, it would need to be internal and sealed off to survive the environmental aspects. It doesn’t rule out other clever things. If it even has rotational speed of a cog, it should have a calculate-able window for the ramp locations. It...

Exactly. Same for me. And I have seen that implication passed on by various forums and blogs. For me, it doesn’t really matter as long as the transition is smooth and doesn’t interrupt my pedaling. If my sirrus x 4 were compatible with the gx eagle transmission, it would be ordered already. To...

Every day. But, honestly, mostly that's not a valid statement. Lots of complex things *can* be reliable. The real problem tends to be early versions of those things. How reliable do you think the first chain derailleurs were? What I want is a shifting experience that doesn't interrupt the...

That's a good point. The derailleur would have to be able to track chain movement via its sprockets rotation or equivalent. Otherwise it really needs to be purely mechanical. However, reviews are not corroborating that. The delays people report in shifting don't seem like delays that can be...

There is also talk of the electronics queuing shifts creating potential delays. Multiple sources talk about electronically delayed shifts (I am not saying they are right, only that others have a different view, no idea what the truth is). My assumption was that the system knows the relationship...

Did they just release the gx version? UGH. I wish my bike has UDH.

Good point. Fixed the title. Durability is one benefit. But the main thing for ebikes is the way it manages shifting. It is an electronic system that times shifts at the exact right point where the chain can move from one gear to the next with the smoothest possible change. The derailleur...

I mean, I know in this day and age, expecting stuff to work on delivery is a high standard. I will, however, maintain that standard. :) Seriously though, I want to set the appropriate expectation. I have read quite a few positive reviews of the transmission system with many experiences aligning...
