As you know, no (derailleur) bike shall be laid down on the drive-side. I watched one of the Electric Mountain Bike Network videos, the one in which one Steve Jones (not the guitarist of Sex Pistols!) travelled over the Death Valley CA. At some moment, he had to swap the battery, and that happened at an ascent. Steve was so tired he dropped the Cannondale onto the drive-side...
I think you mean, "rotated" LEFT which is counter clockwise (unless you are a friend who always views from behind the clock - he's a bit odd). But I'm left handed and might be screwing this up!!!It is the 220 mm "Road" cable. There are only two sizes: Road and MTB. The Road RE Cable is used on Vado/Como/Creo SL. The MTB Re Cable is for Levo and Kenevo SL, as these have very compact frames and need a shorter cable.
Your RE will come with a Zee Cage II (L) and a rubber band for fixing the Re Cable plug in place. Pay attention to a rotating slide at he bike side plug: When the slide is rotated to the right (counter clockwise), you can insert the plub into the socket. Rotating clockwise (down) secures the plug in the socket.
Also pay attention how the RE has been originally mounted inside the Zee Cage II.
Did you order the RE Y-Cable as well?
Besides, the Warsaw LBS got as many as 15 Range Extenders:
-- Is it OK if I buy two Range Extenders? -- I asked.
-- You may buy all fifteen of them! -- the salesman smiled -- We won't sell them for a year!
I meant the slider points at three o'clock in the open position. And it is six o'clock in the closed position.
That's the mounting point the shop used to mount my rack on my Creo.
I’m one of those who lost the wedge down the tube. It’s an easy error. If, unlike me, you remember it’s a possibility, you won’t have a problem.
@Stefan Mikes do they need the entire bike for the RE update? I'm not sure about that. Because I also have two and one was on the bike when I had software updated. I really wish they would let us do these updates ourselves.
As long as you connect an RE to the bike and start Mission Control, Device Updates will show whether the battery really needs to be updated. Ironically, both new REs are up to date, and the old one is outdated but working flawlessly...
Of course it is only the RE to be updated. However, I will tell you the fact after I come back from the LBS tomorrow.
That's one reason I preferred the non-EQ. After your comments elsewhere about using both brakes, I assume you know to take it easy on using the front brake when cornering on sand or in the wet.
I was on a group trip with a lot of mud. The two people with fenders were bragging about staying clean, but then they started getting mud packed up under the fenders and were stopped until they could dig it out. Several times.
Hey, Doug. The EQ version offers great benefits if you live in a wet country such as Poland and ride all year round.That's one reason I preferred the non-EQ.

Yes, so-called "Road Y-Cable".
Snagged a quick pic in a short home-office break; it's pretty much stock so far with the range extender cage and a lock installed.
Called the shop and the guy said it was intentional because the longer cable bends funny so they usually give out the 160mm and rotate the range extender.
I like the fade colors.
