So yeah, electronic shifting has some new maintenance and Pre-Ride Routines to learn...but does anyone else agree that it's just unconcionable for a dealer to sell an undercharged battery with these systems?
I seen something similar with a gal that bought a s5, she was trying to check the battery and pushed the button on the box which puts it into adjustment mode. Then her battery was low and it quit shifting up front and she started to freak out. Couldn't believe the shop let her go without showing the basics.
