    1st Gen Tern GSD s10. Only problem I've had (other than a recent flat tire) was the chain guide getting "sticky" and not rolling well. Luckily that was an easy fix, even for an absolute novice at bike repair like myself.

    Nice Video, I have a Tern P7i (acoustic, similar to the current D7i) with Nexus 7. Never had a chain problem.

    This is a Bosch Performance Sport. I believe all newer Bosch motors have the clutch in the motor to move the chain/belt backwards.

    But ....what are bushings? 😭 If you're looking for video ideas, would consider doing a series on just bike parts and explain it like you're explaining it to a 6 year old.

    Bushings are the hollow metal cylinders that cover the chain pins ( I think she actually means the rollers ? ) . These are between the inner plates ( the ones closer together) . They are loose and can be rotated by hand when the chain links are held still. When in contact with the cassette sprockets ( gears on the back wheel) and chainrings ( big rings near the pedals ) they are held static by friction. Just for Bike Shop Girl, I am one of those ' waxing nerds ' who from the Shifter vid you sent a clear message to !
