    Battery inside

    Garages without heating, like mine, temperatures will go very low then up as the sun hits the roof. Bad news for damp/condensation. Take your battery inside. In winter mine lives under the kitchen table (just about tolerable by the misses, only as its hard to see).

    Brand X Ascend WIRELESS dropper

    Nice idea, but longevity will be an issue (more places for water to penetrate). Just bought a replacement for my old cable dropper, £99 for a Fox 150mm, reduced for black friday at Wiggle: https://www.wiggle.com/p/fox-suspension-transfer-performance-elite-dropper-seatpost-721298816 Bargain :-)

    Intermittent ticking sound? Very strange

    It could be your wheel spokes. Try spraying the spokes with a fine oil (eg. WD40). I have a wheel that does this and before I knew what it was it used drive me mad. BTW best not spray your hearing aids with WD40.

    Cable routing in frame - please STOP it....!

    Cable routing in frame - please STOP it....!

    there is the division: practical v pretty! As for spotting the wear, it was not possible as the worn part is hidden within the swing-arm tubes. Also, note the additional cable/pipe covering ends too soon, this is a manufacturers fault.
