Changing to Bosch Nyon Display

[Jowwy]

how hard would it be to remove the current plurion display on my cube acid one hybrid and replace it with the new Nyon display unit.........

You will need to unplug the Purion from the motor and pull the wire out through the frame. The intuvia base unit will then need to be rethreaded down to the motor and plugged in,. I have done this and found the threading a bit tricky.

that seems pretty doable - i'm mechanically adapt to internal routing, as ive already switched all the gearing to DI2...

next job is fitting carbon mtb forks and then look at doing the display...........might even convert it to drops too, so a more road based machine

like a monster cross ebike

Do you have the Nyon Display? I changed to purion from intuvia, and then back again so I could use Cobi and already had both parts of the intuvia display. The tricky part was threading the wire down the downtube

not yet, but looking to purchase one in the very near future.........its going on the xmas pressie list from my Mrs

did you slacken off the motor bolts first to give more room betwen motor and frame? and then slacked the bolts off on the battery holder under the downtube?

Worth considering if you really want Nyon.

It had a terrible reputation for being buggy and generally not working, certainly in the UK.

COBI might be better.

Cant just remember.. I have 2 bikes and had them both in bits for one reason or another. I think I followed a youtube vid for it! If it was purchased with Purion you may need an update for it to work.

For Cobi he will still need to buy/acquire the Intuvia/Nyon dock for it to fit in, and Cobi isnt without its own issues. If waiting til Xmas perhaps the Kiox might be considered.

will spend some time researching all the displays before choosing

 

[Gubbins]

If Cobi is on your list, I have been using one for 9 months now and is my prefered display of the three I have, Purion, Intuvia and Cobi, I can offer a few insights if needed.

The tricky part was threading the wire down the downtube

Would it be possible to attach a bit of old wire to the cable coming from the original display unit. Then use this old wire as a draw wire to help thread the new cable from the new display unit down the downtube?

I taped some stiff wire to the purion when i pulled it out and then used it to pull the new one down but the plug was an only just fit through the gap and kept getting stuck.

I used a piece of string
Flexible and won’t damage anything
