1. A system for a bicycle, the system comprising:
a plurality of controller devices, a type of controller device being the same for two or more controller devices of the plurality of controller devices;
a pairing coordinator device configured to:
receive a device type identification from each controller device of the plurality of controller devices;
identify the type of controller device for the two or more controller devices based on the device type identifications received for the two or more controller devices, respectively;
based on the identification of the type of controller device, update the device type identifications for the two or more controller devices, respectively, such that updated device type identifications for the two or more controller devices are different than each other; and
pair only controller devices of the plurality of controller devices having different device type identifications with the pairing coordinator device, such that a wireless network that enables communications between the pairing coordinator device and the controller devices is established.
