Crafty carbon rr wrapped and ready to roll! I have ridden it a couple of times now and it’s sublime. It’s the first bike I have felt integrated with and the geo and new Bosch system 3 is spot on, absolutely no complaints yet :love:
😆 Everyone I know does it, 90% of people on these forums do it, you are definitely in a minority bud.. come join the revolution, it’s life changing!
Don’t jet wash a car.. that’s madness, do you live in the artic??
I just swapped my disks out for hopes but they are just catching on the SRAM mounts unfortunately. I’m thinking of filing a bit off the mount and retouching :rolleyes:
This is incorrect, lithium batteries are widely used in sub zero temps without damage or degradation. Yes you will experience faster depletion but no lasting damage. Only recharging in sub zero temps is to be avoided to reduce the risk of permanent damage
Admittedly a non removable battery doesn’t suit everyone, but it does help avoid rattling, waterproofing and keeping weight down etc. lithium doesn’t mind being stored on the cold, just not charged in the cold. So this would be an issue in your situation.
Hope the levo does it for you bud, I’ve decided against the giant as well after a lot of milling it over. Way too many water ingress issues in other forums to ignore, albeit on older models. I’ve just picked up a Mondraker crafty carbon, great looking machine! Still looking forward to seeing the...
I just picked up this very bike at the weekend, absolutely stunning machine :love: You wouldn’t believe how much swatting up i did on all bikes, even those not out yet, but the mondraker just kept catching my eye lol. Apart from the one downside you mention, which is manageable imo. the only...
Local then lol, clitheroe here 👍🏻 There are pros and cons with all EMTB as I’m finding out the deeper you delve. Giant weakness is water, mondraker has non removable battery (for some insane reason), cube it’s frames, idiotic cable routed stem and pish customer care, trek and spesh are way...
So you don’t have to store and charge in sub zero temps mainly. Lithium batteries don’t do well in those conditions and charging will degrade or damage the cells. Ok if you store in the house or heated garage.
Yep I hear that. as much as I’m keeping an eye out for issues with 2022 bikes, I’m remaining ignorant to older issues in the hope that they have made enough changes to warrant this fresh design and a new bike.
I have a reign E+0 inbound and It’s a tough call really as the bike looks and sounds...
But if a sweeping statement this mate, I’ve been looking out for 2022 reign water ingress issues all over and as yet there aren’t any. Plenty on 2020/2021 models but the improvements giant said they have made could be working.. hopefully.
35 years jet washing, drying and re-lubing my bikes with no issues, including a gaggle of ebikes. Mud is scourge and should be left in the forests lol. Next you have a garage full, car full, house full and my OCD just couldn’t handle that! :LOL:
Why didn’t the shop run a full test before giving it back to you?! And did they say it was a water ingress issue? Very worrying if that’s the case as 90% of my riding is on sodden conditions :(
