Fix to prevent multiple paddle shifts and no shifts
 

The first modification on this page is the only one which doesn't void your warranty as there is no need at all to take your wheel apart.

The multiple shifts problem may not effect all wheels, but I've encountered it after two weeks of heavy usage. The problem lies in the too big gap between the shifter paddle (1) and the paddle housing (2). There is a 2mm gap and if you pull back the shifter a bit too much, then the microswitches inside the wheel think you've shifted two-three times instead of one. This problem is easy to cure, you only need a small piece of rubber to be placed in there to act as a bump-stop. The rubber must not be too rigid and must have a thickness off approximately 1mm. If you use a bigger piece of rubber, then there will be too much strain placed on the shifter paddle and the plastic may brake.

Step by step guide:
cut a small piece of rubber with dimensions
of 10mm x 10mm x 1mm (W/H/D)
attach rubber to paddle using double-sided
adhesive tape

There is another problem encountered by a few, where the microswitches lose proper electrical contact with PCB (printed circuit board) inside the wheel. The solder joints on PCB brake and paddle shifts unstable or doesn't shift at all. This problem is also releated to the too big gap problem mentioned above, but you can take preventive action by placing there that piece of rubber. If it's already too late for you, you can fix it yourself easily.
