Appreciate your concern! Two notes, however: * The problems are in the middle of the cassette, that is what is so weird, low and high gear are seated smoothly on the chain.. If they were at either end, I'd worry more about chain drop. What's more, there is a chain guard near the crank to...

Well, the derailleur is Shimano GRX RX812 GS. And yeah, it's a little different, seems like the adjustments are manual-- I have a few tutorials queued up to look at tomorrow. I have found no reference to any automatic calibration system, but I totally coulda missed something. At a minimum...

It is hard to imagine your precise injury and what position would work for you. I was stunned to discover that drop bars with my hands on the hoods are the most comfortable position for moderate to severe arthritis in the metatarsal joint. It's not a perfect solution; for hard breaking, I...

This will accomplish nothing. Let's hope it never happens. And it may not. This new model of using 'proclamations' or 'executive orders' to pass what are really laws needs to come to an end. Not consistent with US values. No one should be able to pass laws just because they feel like it...

Okay, interesting. Curious what app you are using; I don't see a Shimano app that does microtuning on this system. Don't know why I was thinking Flow would do this! Thx.

Yes, I do-- and I have some idea what it might be. There's a Bosch Mechanic app or something. EDIT: No, that was something else, like for cars or something. This must be a I'm finding Flow to be very primitive, and I'm having trouble understanding the modes. What I think: * Eco will use...

That sounds pretty easy! I guess I'll fire up the FLOW app instead of just sitting around all morning and staring at the bike. Maybe I'll read the Quick Start guide first! I haven't even cracked even the short version of the manual. Canyon does give you a LOT of stuff with your purchase--...

Here is a better shot:

Could be, Stefan, quite possible-- REI was supposed to do that, but maybe they didn't get that deep into it. Good thought, I did not know that. That will be one of the first things I try.

Okay, I've gotta take out the dogs and get ready for dinner, and I only took one photo, with the bike out of focus-- more tomorrow, I promise-- but.. Holy crap. There were a lot of hiccups with delivery-- I am the FIRST rider to use the REI assembly option, and the short version is...

Absolutely, sorry, I didn't mean to be snarky, it was not a comment on the relevance of your advice, but rather my own frame of mind! In fact, this is similar to what I do for shorter fitness rides, or when my connective tissue disorder is giving me more trouble: I choose a series of loops...

He (or she) is in 'pre-assembly' at REI, pickup is tomorrow. I wonder if he's scared, all alone at the shop. Nah. Plenty of other bikes around to keep him company. And the vets seemed nice, too. I made sure they would feed him, because I'm riding him over 10 miles home. How will I sleep...

Only range anxiety for my longer rides on Seeker. My max was about 38 miles with just under 4,000 feet of vertical-- it's easy to remember, because I had about half a bar left, and I guesstimated my total range as 40 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical. This is a 46.7 pound bike with a 413Wh...

Yeah, I've heard that as well. There's got to be a way to do that. Thx.

Wow. Super helpful information. I studied my bike for two weeks, an hour or two a day, but I'm realizing there's a ton that I don't know about it. (Still awaiting delivery. Again, Performance Line SX, Grizl:ON CF 7.) Now what I'm nervous about is automatic updates via the Flow app. History...

Yeah, the Grizl:ON CF 7 went down to $4,000 US... and my willpower went out the window. It's shipped, and I can pick it up at REI in Burbank-- great to have local dealer support, particularly for a purchase this large. I will need two mods, that's a virtual certainty: The remote, which...

Don't ride with music anymore. In NY in the '70s, I did, but it did not end well. I prepared for one particularly insane city ride by making two identical cassette mixes and giving my buddy a second Walkman; the idea was that we would be listening to the same tunes at the same time. After...

My new bike will have a Performance Line SX, so I'm very curious about which modes to select. Like, which saves more juice, Eco or Eco+? Should I use Auto or Turbo+? Can I have two different profiles, one for fitness rides around the neighborhood and a second one for steeper rides with mixed...

Another 50 pound high-power eMTB. I wonder why am I not excited. One of my colleagues' husband had an 80nm eMTB-- I think some kind of CF Canyon Spectral ON-- and approached me about whether or not I wanted to buy it. It was 45 pounds or so, and I said it was too similar to the bike I already...

Good questions, Base. It would help if the OP listed the model of his motor--- but a quick search suggests that this should be fixable at the LBS. Here is an interesting thread that covers some of the finer points of tour vs. tour+, etc. Seems like this option is modifiable, but I'm not...
