On the weekend I created a route in Komoot with 5 waypoints and found that the Nyon now gives Turn by Turn guidance with the waypoints. It also reroutes if you go off the route but I found that it doesn't reroute to the next waypoint but to the end point.

Mine fell off after about 500 miles. Luckily a friend was behind me and spotted it. I’ve stuck it back on with 3M double sided tape and it’s stayed put so far. I was in my local pub last week and the landlord had one behind the bar that he found in the car park and he thought was mine. I...

Just like with anything, you can always wait for next year’s model but then you’ll never buy one. Just go with it and don’t worry about what is coming later, it will always have extra bits and pieces or tech but you’ll will already be out riding and enjoying your bike when that happens. I bought...

I’ve found the same thing recently. I’m sure I have had turn by turn directions with Komoot routes containing waypoints in the past though. Has there been an update that changed this or am I imagining it?

Just ask them if they are such purists and sneer at any assistance, why do they have gears on their bikes.

If I’m riding with people on normal bikes, as I do with four friends once a week, I don’t turn it on, just have the battery in to record the ride. With the battery I’m probably on the heaviest bike and doing the most work! When out with my wife who has electric, we both only turn them on when...

I think it's all to do with trying to figure out which routes are suitable for cycles. Car navigation is much easier because public roads are well documented whereas cycling navigation is trying to use not only roads but also paths, bridleways, tracks, etc, many of which may be OK on foot, a...

I tried what was suggested in an earlier post and rode along a flat piece of road in Eco then switched to Tour. As I understand it, if Tour+ is installed there shouldn’t be any difference in motor power until I press harder on the pedals and increase cadence. However, when I switched to Tour I...

Got my bike back from the service last week and Sport mode has been replaced by eMTB so now have Eco, Tour, eMTB and Turbo. No sign of Tour+! Unfortunately I wasn’t home when they delivered it back so couldn’t check straight away. I gave Tour a try from Eco on the flat and still feel the surge...

I upgraded from the Intuvia to the Nyon 2 recently. I’ve been out for about half a dozen rides with it so far. The screen is clear. The navigation is pretty good, particularly the directions as you’re riding, although I have had a few instances where I’ve gone past a turning before it shows I...

Inflatable children’s swimming armbands don’t take up much space in a bag and can be quickly inflated and put under the handlebars and seat to protect them when the bike is upside down.

Hmmm, in the Specifications for the bike it says it is a Bosch Drive Unit Performance CX GEN4 (85Nm). This is it from the website: Key Features Of The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Pro FRAME HPA, High Performance Aluminium FORK SR Suntour XCR32 LO-R Air, 100mm, Lockout GEAR SYSTEM Shimano Deore...

You're probably right. It's a Kathmandu so would be commuting/touring. It was in last week to have a Nyon display fitted. i could have asked them to check then if I had known. I'll take it back in at some point and ask them to check. Thanks again for your advice.

Thanks both. I'm not really that bothered, just that some seem to think it provides better battery range, which would be nice, but others don't like it, preferring manual control.
