I'd wait a few days if i were you, theres a new lightweight ebike being released tomorrow that if the details ive heared are true is going to blow both out of the water by quite a margin.
has no one read any bike manual ever?
the first thing they all say is to check nuts and bolts regularly, every bike i have ever owned (and there have been a lot) has had nuts and bolts work loose over time. spend 10 minute every couple of weeks with a few basic tools and problem solved.
nico voulioz has put rubber between the crank arm and ring on his glp 2 to quieten it down a little, my orbea wild is pretty quiet but i have heared quite noisey gen 4's
a t40 torx head in an ally bolt with a thread around 15mm is a BAD choice, the god awful captive nut arrangement on the rocker is terrible. the build quality is poor at best.
im guessing you own one, my sympathies go your way.
Ive worked on many YT's, the frames are proper bargain basement shite, alignment is all over the place and lots of really bad bolt choices for pivots.
Also never feel around inside the frames there's all sorts of debris and pointy shit left in there.
Cheap for a reason.

so i provide figures from public health england and the world health organisation and you counter that with twitter?? come on at least try.
I've already told you trying to pull the family card doesn't work with me.
there you go again manipulating numbers, 10,000 of 85,000 seems rather scary 12ish% mortality rate, until you realise that is derived from just the very serious cases that went to hospital and got tested, the hundreds of thousands of people who have contracted it and simply recovered aren't ever...
You just stick to being driven by emotion and fear then and i'll stick to numbers as they dont lie.
The UK's economy is going to tank big time, and the regular people on the street are going to end up paying for it as usual, while everyone is hiding indoors and not working thousands of...
You have to respect the Chinese, they have managed to crash the entire world economy with nothing more a tickly cough and a small group of over anxious middle aged women.
Welcome to the age of social media warfare.
they are the figures for reported cases not for people that need ventilating only a small percentage need ventilation.
as a bit of a sobering thought, flu doesn't even get solid figures attached to it the statistics are usually kind of fudged in a convoluted way.
just this flu season there...
there is also no vaccine for many strains of the flu (which is a bigger killer by a factor of thousands) or for the common cold for that matter, both of which can cause pneumonia, covid doesn't kill you in any different way to any other respiratory condition, it gives people with compromised...
i Madisonn(shimano uk) are to be believed its because shipping just the battery is considered a hazardous item, if the battery is stuck to a bike its not.
they were telling me about it at their trade show a couple of years age just before the steps e8000 system was released.
Pure media generated hysteria, if a handful of old unwell people died of pneumonia over a couple of weeks without every news outlet known to man claiming its the zombie apocalypse no one would give a toss, give a new strain of cold a sinister sounding name and the whole world comes to a halt...
