Tradeoff: HSD S+ (gen 1) or HSD P10 (gen 2)??
Lusted after TERN for years, finally buying my first! Also first mid drive! - I've got about US$4K - give or take $500, to spend. 66 year old guy, fitness, errands, pleasure. Love belt drive + IGH idea, for simplicity & less bike shop time. Found a local S+ at $3700. Ticks all the specs, and I love the idea of automatiq. Concerns are ongoing support (but it is Bosch), plus I'm a tech fan. New Gen 2 w/belt (S00, S5i) are out of budget. But P10 w/derailleur fits & I can add converter for GPS & Flow app. Or go with P10 and live w/derailleur (I've never had IGH before). I need advice & voice of experience here. I hear IGH doesn't shift under load well, some say they're mushy. I love ability to shift at a stop if I forget. Anyone out there with experience with Enviolo, Automatiq or otherwise, as well as the Shimano 5 and 8 IGH hubs as compared to derailleur setups? So many questions, I've learned just enough to be dangerous! TIA, Mike.
