Yeah could do but it’s almost double the price.

If you have a Giant with the 150mm Contact Switch dropper post, would you be able to to measure the distance from the bottom of the collar to the seat rails for me? I'm trying to decide if I get a 150mm post on my XL Fathom E+.

Funnily enough, that one wasn't too bad mainly because Chris was sending it on the scooter.

I will say, international shipping from Disco is damn slow. Ordered mine on 3 Aug and they still haven't arrived. I even paid extra for the "fast" option.

Hopefully that means a new release is coming soon.

Would wrapping the connectors in heatshrink tubing help?

The out-front mount can also be reversed to mount the phone over stems too short for the normal stem mount.

I've ordered some ceramic pads from DiscoBrakes based on this test

Seems like maybe the Android version is worse than the iOS one. I've had no issues connecting or updating with my iPhone. Either way, hopefully the mythical new version isn't too far away.

One LBS (T7) looks like it was ram-raided and the other (Pack&Pedal) is chocka. Given that they have brand overlap, I wonder if the difference is the empty one has better financing options.

Fair enough. I've found the app to be fairly pants on iOS, so I just don't use it besides firmware updates. I think we're all hanging out for the promised rebuilt, all-new version.

Besides tweaking the power settings/firmware, what does the app give you over the myriad other established apps like Strava/MapMyRide etc?

Not that I've noticed.

That's good to know actually. I find my rotors seem to get a slight warp and start "tinging".

Maybe the gear cable is catching slightly and ghost-shifting when the suspension is moving. The Shimano derailleur might be more sensitive to this than the SRAM one.

I think that last bit is the big reason. All of us on here likely took a test ride and thought "this is my life now".

I'm frankly gobsmacked that people think it's acceptable to vocalise dislike.

This is my 2019 Giant Fathom E+ 3. I've done a few upgrades since this pic, but I still want to try a dropper post.
