Great video! Just wondered how the Roll does on steeper terrain...hills and such...and how it climbs or descends? Also do you live in the Bay Area? Looks like the South Bay. And congrats on your baby too!
Hey! Just got my not-pregnant wife a Specialized 3.0, too. She was extremely excited about it until after her 1st ride and the chain popped off like yours, it seems. I can't see how to easily get it 'back on its track.' How did you all do it? And now, 4 months later, how's the baby???
@@GuyFromGeorgia that’s awesome but ugh the dreaded issue… I’m surprised there hasn’t been a recall! It isn’t easy to get it back on, I should have recommended to always pack gloves 😛 You gotta give the chain slack with one hand (pull down the derailleur) and then tuck the chain back onto the chainring with your other hand. We actually haven’t changed mine out yet, and I’ve opted to minimally shift in the meantime lol Baby is doing so great! Thanks so much for asking 😊
I just got this bike too. Can you explain a little more about the chain issue and how you’re fixing it? You mentioned the chain issue happened 6 times, when it happens, does it make the bike not usable? Or are you able to fix it quickly? I just want to be prepared when I’m out on the road 😊
I just bought a roll 3.0 two weeks ago. It has the advent 8 speed system. My very first ride, the chain fell off while shifting 2x in the first 30 min. The chain slips but doesn’t not fall off completely. It gets wedged in between the front chain ring and the black circular chain guard. It is then a bit of a pain to pull out and place back on the chain ring. I was thinking it had to do with the Microsoft advent system but I brought the bike back to the shop, and the mechanic readjusted the small chain guide and made some adjustments to the screws of the rear derailleur. I was not hopeful but to my surprise it has not reoccurred in 4 short rides since.
If it becomes an issue down the road I will likely be forced to buy a better Shimano system. I looked on some Reddit threads too and I found another owner with the same issue. But make sure they try to make adjustments at the shop so that the rear derailleur is correctly angled. The 1x8 drivetrain is prone to be finicky which seemed counter intuitive
Thanks for the input from the other person! Yeah, I would probably recommend bringing a pair of rubber/disposable gloves in case it happens. You can get the chain back on yourself, but you'll get the grime all over your hands -- unless you can find a really sturdy stick lol. Sucks that this is an issue with the chosen parts for the bike! Great bike otherwise!
I used to love this bike. Now I know it's a pregnant people bike 😢 OK, I was just kidding. Looks like a comfortable bike. I have the trek verve 3 with is extremely comfortable as well.

Got my wife the Cannondale Adventure 2. Its pretty amazing how comfortable a bike can be. Its also fun to ride.
whoa fine choice! Maybe I should have considered that one :P
