So has anyone connected their eRX to their head units. I've connected mine to my Sigma Rox 11.1 and I'm guessing the rox doesn't quite understand what the eRX is or the eRX doesn't quite know what the rox is.

It connects. It displays gears, but when checking battery it just says 0%. And it often disconnects and reconnects.

Maybe the secret sauce is in the Shimano chainrings. Because I am still using my R8000 crank after my conversion to eRX (v3) from R8000 mechanical and I find the front shifting to be at least as good or better. That being said I'm VERY particular about tuning my front mech and my R8000 was tuned very well.

Well I've now put about 7 hours on my gen  3 eRX on its current charge with the XTAR 1200 batteries. So far the app still reports 90% capacity after those 7 hours and I have had no mid-ride shutdowns so far.

I think my charger wasn't up to the task. They only gave me a cable in the box so I ended up using an old cellphone charger. After closer inspection said charger was only rated at 5v 2A.

So I went and bought a charger that could do 10v since both those cells in series charged is around 8.4v. And so far I think everything is good?

enjoying my eRX gen 3 tremendously. But as a recent convert over from the mechanical side of things I wonder if alot of ex mechanical users feel the way I do. I miss the clicks and clunks of mechanical shifting. I would describe it to a car enthusiast / petrol head as the same sort of feeling of going from a fully manual transmission to a semi-automatic paddle shift. Yes TECHNICALLY you are still driving it in a manual capacity but it's not the same. I feel electric shifting removes some of the character and some of the soul of the bike.

But I had no choice really since my bike is designed specifically for electric. I managed to make mechanical cables fit into the frame but it was a nightmare. And after 10K kms it was time to replace cables, the thought terrifies me so I chickened and got eRX.

It shifts amazingly quick compared to mechanical. I don't know how it compares to other electric options. But for a mechanical guy this is fast. And once you've fine tuned in the app it's perfect everytime. No missed shifts because you didn't throw the lever far enough to catch the next tooth in the shifter or anything like that just perfect. Sometimes I have to look to confirmed I have actually shifted because it's so smooth and precise I haven't felt the actual shift occur.

In other words. I love it. It's great. I do miss the character of a mechanical drive. But other than that this is awesome!
Brakes are good too.

End of my little review


Now on the gen 3 shifters. Anyone notice they get quite rattley? I get a lot of rattle from the buttons I think. Any one got any home hacks or remedy for that?

Hi guys, I got the new eRX gen 3 (type c charging)

I've used XTAR 1200mah batteries for it. My first shakedown ride was a 4 hour 130km cycle and about 3.5h into the ride it went flat/stopped working. When I left for the ride it said it had 90% battery.

When I plugged back in after the ride the groupset came back to life it said it had like 80% left.

Any ideas what might of happened here? Does the battery level thing need time to calibrate?

anyone?
