A guy on my race team said there’s a button you can push to shift it as well, not sure what he is talking about, then comes the app.

I’ve already expressed my fears over the app. Maybe they are unwarranted, but I know people on this site, and this very thread that got shafted by the app. In my cycling community I know people that got shafted. It was such a big deal Sram came to the LBS to talk about it.

It’s sounds like, if the app forces closes during an update then you have turned your groupset into a paper weight. People that I talked to who had this happen claim they didn’t close the app, and didn’t see the app close.

I have apps force close on my phone and Ipad all the time, so that’s unsettling.

Shimano Di2 is the same btw. If the app closes during an update you are ducked.
