So - would like to upgrade my GFs bike to the newer switch (She has an original EP8 with the SW-300) switch. Feeling like the new switch might not work with the older system. Looked at the compatability chart - made me feel uneasy!
Anybody tried this and no for sure you can use this switch with...
Great job! Place looks amazing. You mentioned a rattle from some plastic. I’m chasing a rattle on mine as well. Would you mind giving the specifics of what you found please? Thank you!
Awesome - just got mine last week too. Agree on all fronts. For sizing, I’m only a bit taller than you (and on the same trend) - on an RH-3 29/27.5. Went with 32mm stem, 35/35 bars. Feels brilliant.
3 rides in, getting it dialed. Only hanging chad is getting my front tire to seat straight...
Still waiting for mine (come on UPS!) - not urgent, what the rise on the one up bars. Looks like 20mm, I usually ride 35…
Thanks - this isn’t important… I’m just getting impatient!
Those do sound interesting. I will hopefully get bike this week and can try the Srams. Don’t want to hold you up. Should know in a week or so. If you’d like to send some more info directly to me please do.
Thanks so much! I ordered the bearing, will get the bearing tool as well. You are taller than me, I’m 5‘10“ about 180. hoping the 170 dropper won’t be too long for me - should be fine as long as I can slam it - which it looks like you did. Based on that - going to order it tomorrow. Thanks again...
That is AWESOME! Mine’s coming next week(!). Thinking about some of the upgrades you did so thanks for sharing.
Also running EXT - and fit issues? May order that fox roller bearing too if fits well.
Missed what size the bike is, mine is the RH-3. I was thinking of ordering a 170 AXS reverb...
Yahoo! Stoked to hear all the great reviews. I've got a Copper/Carbon coming - hopefully next week. Agree about Troydon - great guy and I'm stoked to support what they are doing. Bike looks rad. Will be running the EXT e-Storia too so if any one needs a RS shock...
I agree. Switch batt does actually charge off the main batt. Main batt has to be on for at least 30 mins to charge switch batt enough to revive. I suppose switch batt will eventually die - whic would require replacement.
Don’t need to „ride“ - just need to keep the main batt on for 30‘ or more.
I’m sorry - I wasn’t clear. I would hit the mode button (off, eco, trail) every once in a while to keep bike on. When it did time off (I got distracted), I would push the battery back up which had a screw taped to the button on the battery, which would turn the battery/bike back on and continue...
Hi Gordon - Many bikes have access through the frame - unfortunately the 2021 Canyon doesn't. Had to jury-rig a bolt to the button on the battery and then lever the battery onto the inside of the frame to flick the button on (but not hold it in). Was a bit of a PITA but finally got it. After 3-4...
OK - I think I actually got it. Thanks to all that responded - you were totally right. Between here and some other posts here's how what I learned:
a. Main button on battery had to be pushed while in bike - since there's zero access (honorable mention to Canyon and Shimano) I taped a bolt to the...
All well and good - but I'm now stuck with my wife's Canyon ON with a dead battery in the Satellite ON/OFF switch and no access to the main switch on the battery. Come on Shimano and Canyon - get it together. Of course I'm nowhere near a shimano center... ugh! Taped a bolt to the main battery...
