We've had the bikes since last August but only managed around 380 miles (I am sure you can work out why). But so far (touch wood), nothing has gone majorly wrong.
My wife's bike stopped working on one ride. Turns out the display connector had come undone. I did it back up and it sprang back...
I don't have these fancy names, just numbers. 1 is an extra 60% of my leg power, 2 is 120% and 3 is 320% (according to the blurb from Decathlon). I tend to use 1 most of the time, 2 when the going gets a bit tough uphill and 3 on the very steep bits. I'm not sure how that relates to Eco, Trail...
I removed the pads to clean them and stop them squealing. I filed a small chamfer on the leading edge. It worked, so I must have done something right.
I'm still new at the chain lubing malarkey.

Thanks. I did on a bike stand. Upside down isn't easy as I have to loosen the display and other stuff so it doesn't get damaged.
I've got some handlebar mounts that I need to try out sometime that may help when it's upside down.
I took my rear wheel off to clean the brake pads. What a faff with the chain putting it back on. Is there a technique to doing it without getting chain lube all over yourself trying to keep the deraiileur out of the way? I'd hate to have to try it in the field.

I was about 3/4 of the way through a 24 mile ride. On the road, when I noticed the display was frozen at 12.9mph.The power buttons were working OK as I could turn them up and down and feel the difference. After a few minutes, I turned it all off, waited about 10 seconds, and turned it back on...
I found the biggest issue with bar risers was the cable length for the hydraulic front brake. On my bike that was the limiting factor. I didn't notice any issues with handling (maybe I'm not that good of a rider) and it certainly made it more comfortable.
Mine were stolen off the back of our car. They were locked to the bike rack and covered up. But the thieves cut the bike rack as it was easier than the locks (which I never even considered).
