I'm loving this new to me as slick as a btcc sequential gear change until tonight
All was going great until I had a wee coup de grace or more like a coup on the grass , nothing too bad but the gears stopped playing and 8 miles in top gear didn't half knacker my legs in the intense rain that just seem to appear to make me suffer
Anyway warmed up and eventually found the junction box, gave it a wee tickle not sure if it was that but spinning the cranks while playing with the levers it was like the telly and lights bursting in to life after storm Arwyn my gear shift has returned, it made my night
Anyone else had crash mode sprung on them on a dark ,wet November?
I’ve had it happen twice on my XT Di2 once changing gear through a stream with a lot of chain slap the other was just random no reason
First time I had to lift the rear wheel and cycle through all the gears . 2nd time it worked just getting back on the bike
It’s a mechanical crash detection system apparently.
According to a man from Shimano correct procedure is to spin the cranks and go up and down the cassette to get it working again. It’s just a shame they don’t actually tell you this anywhere (or at least they didn’t)
how do you go through the gears if it's not working ?
You're stuck in the wee cog, until you can get it reset as it goes to sleep and your legs are burning
Had this with a riding pals gravel bike the other week, we found that lifting the rear wheel, spinning the cranks and manually pushing the rear mech up and down the cassette seemed to wake it up and reset things, eventually…
