    Taking an eMtb to NZ from Australia?

    Yes, that’s the place, they did have a couple of mondraker ebikes too, although at the moment shop was full of ski gear, but there are heaps of hire places in qtown. Might be a whole lot easier to hire than traveling with battery and bike.

    Giant reign 2022 frame cracking

    Is the frame warranty only for the original purchaser? I see the odd reign being sold with very low riding and assume it’s fear of these cracks that maybe the reason. I’m keen to change from the trance to the slacker geo Reign and wonder if the good deals will bit me and I’m better going new...

    How frequently are you charging your bike?

    I leave mine plugged in sitting in a metal oven dish after a big ride until I next use it, but also if it’s above 3/4 I’ll leave it in the bike for just grab and go stuff near home. Battery health and run time I find a little odd as I have a 500 size battery and the lights on the bike display...

    Unanswered Full face for rocky single track with some downhills.

    Bell super air is cool enough in the heat here that I don’t bother removing the chin bar, and it has saved me eating a rock just last week!
