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...

Actually, their specs are inconsistent. It claims a gx cassette but that is only on xd hubs. But the hub claims to be hg. Which, as far as I can tell, no version of the 1275 cassette is hg compatible. None of that is the point though. SRAM has a new transmission drivetrain. It is only...

The turbo levo/sl and kenovo/sl as well as the tero x all have udh. Has anyone put sram transmission on them and can provide an experience report? I am looking at getting a tero X and then putting on an X0 transmission drivetrain. I still don't love chains, but what I don't love about the ones...

This one seems pretty exciting. My one comment at this time: People need to separate implementation from concept. Conceptually, this is brilliant. Implementation could be another thing. If this thing ends up reliable, it will be fantastic. Time will tell. Will it make riding better? For those...
