    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Baldhills, my gf is undecided whether go to the shop (to swap the Purion with Nyon2) or let me do it. No shop gives her a quote, even a ballpark, for the labour (she got her Nyon as a gift). What did you pay, may I ask? PS: I did not remove the brake lines to install the Nyon2 and Lupine on my...

    Proud new Gazelle C8 Owner

    Hi Sunnyaunt, hope you are feeling well and putting miles on your Gazelle. I am swapping the stock Purion with the Nyon2 on my gf's Gazelle C8 (I think the setup is similar to yours). Could you please take more pics and/or describe how the stock light was integrated with the Nyon? Is it an exact...

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    fooferdoggie, none from what I've read written by and about the Gramin's Radar did speak about features that relevant (to me for sure) as clearly as you did. Thank you again!

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    fooferdoggie, that sounds great, especially the bit when you want to turn you can hear the signal and then look in the mirror to confirm that it is clear. I was not aware of that function. Thank you! Hi SwiftySanders, I actually loved the Purion for its functional minimalism. It's location was...

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Yes, I've heard good things about Garmin radar. I take it you have a head unit as well (to get all the functionality)? Re mirror: last weekend I didn't see the 18-wheeler until it was already passing me on a one-lane road. I should look closer into Garmin radar. What model is yours?

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Thank you, fooferdoggie. Do you ride in traffic much and if so what safety measures/equipment, in addition to leaving your lights on always, do you use/recommend?

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Thank you, fooferdoggie, for helpful video and the pic of your customized speed display. My light (Lupine SL) _is_ Bosch-activated. It has its own control button on the handlebar. The front (low beam) and rear lights turn on automatically when I power on the Nyon. However, one short press on the...

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    retiredNH, thanks! Is there an online tutorial for customizing screens? I am impressed with Nyon: it is useful and easy to operate. Most computers of the old (i.e., Pilot by Shimano) were nothing like it. I'd just ignore them.

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Thank you, fooferdoggie. Is it standard for speedometer to display watts and cadence or needs customizing (how)? Also, the light button on Nyon doesn't do anything. What is it suppose to do?

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Hi SwiftySanders, that was a shrewd move indeed (put in a Nyon by default). I am only getting acquainted with Nyon and I like it's online detailed reports. Is there any advice (i.e., custom screens, etc.) for a Nyon novice? What Nyon's feature(s) do you use/like the most?

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Thank you all who helped me. How I routed display (Nyon) and light (Lupine SL F) cables through the right access hole on the Gazelle (Ultimate C380+ Speed) frame: Once there is an access to motor and the downtube space under the battery enclosure: 1. Cut off the Purion 4-wire cable's...

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Here is an answer I got from a bike shop (thank you Ray!): "Hi Al, There are two ways to do it. You can remove the brake lines then insert the connector cable, then redo the brake lines which will require you to bleed the brakes. You can also cut the connector off, cut the current wire to your...

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    I am upgrading so I could monitor the battery charge and to be seen in the winter. Last season I had to cut out a small window in my left pogie to see the Purion display. So, Nyon being located in the center, aside from other benefits, is the main reason. The stock light is okay but for winter...

    Yes, fooferdoggie, the cranks, DU covers, chainring, battery enclosure with lock are all out. Good thing this is not my only bike.

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    True, fooferdoggie, both will need Bosch activation. If I will not find the solution to my problem, I will re-assemble and ride to REI mechanics.

    Upgrading Gazell 380+ to Nyon, looking for solution feeding wires with plugs through small hole on the headset tube

    Hi Everyone, I am attempting to upgrade both the lights (from stock to Lupine SL) and the display (from Purion to Nyon 2) on my Gazelle Ultimate C380+ Speed. Problem(s): it seems the cables' hole on the headset tube is too small to pull the connectors through as is. There are two cables...
