    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    Good to hear mate. Giant and their software problems are infuriating!

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    The charger will normally put the red light on and do nothing of the battery is in the mid to high 90s. I have never seen anything conclusive as to what point it won’t charge, but in the 90s seen the issue many times myself. I’ve always had to discharge to the 80s to get it to charge. Sorry to...

    Impact liner shorts

    I’ve been cold washing mine since I bought them. I know now that the effectiveness may be reduced but it’s an area that doesn’t take much impact anyway and it’s still a nice thick D30 pad on my thigh just where I want it to protect the flesh. Been fine for years, certainly can’t detect any...

    Be good to get your feedback on it mate, handy for others to read.

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    Lots of users on social media groups seem to be reporting issues like this since the latest firmware update. Apparently they charge fine OFF the bike though. Worth a test.

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    Afraid this isn't an issue I have ever seen, sorry. Sounds like a canbus gateway issue but that's purely an educated guess since ive no experience with those as thankfully the earlier bikes don't have them.

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    Firmware cant change unless its reprogrammed. (have you done an update via the App lately?) The battery does indeed form a very important part of the bikes communication system and the slightest glitch from its output will shut the bike down for safety.

    Impact liner shorts

    Endure MT500s for me, work perfectly over my "runderwear" (That brand solved all chaffing issues) and have had them a couple of years now and like them so much i bought a second pair for long trips where i might want to change them out. I do around 4 -6000ft of descent a week and hit the ground...

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    Hello, Are you aware that you need to plug it into a charger directly to activate the battery after a firmware update? It goes into transportation mode after programming, for safety. The dealer “should” know this, but worth mentioning.

    What bars do you run?

    Spank Spike Vibrocore 50mm for me.

    Fox 38 Harshness?

    Thanks for this info @Rob Rides EMTB, it just cost me some money :) For reference, having discussed this with both James and Tayah at Silverfish (Fox UK) today, this tune is available as part of a Fork service and is now known as their "Fox factory Tune" They say this: "Engineered by FOX...

    I wouldn’t worry about it pal. 😂😂

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Lets agree to disagree on how the argument started then. Its better for all concerned as arguments make boring reading. :) I agree with you on rebound, watching a rally car quickly drop from 200mm clearance to 60mm clearance live on the telematics in a rough section and not recover again until...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    **I see you have edited after my reply, so I will reply to your new comment... ** Who's fixated on it? I only commented on it because "you" said its not so important on a fork. And since then, in between telling me about rebound damping and Loic Brunis dynamic compression ratio you have also...

    Sag is important no matter how much you know about suspension. The fact you made that specific statement shows that you don’t know as much as you think about it.

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Agreed. My only point here is ”you need it”. As Shjay said it’s only important on the rear and I didnt want folk to start dialling up the air pressure to the point of virtually no free movement because they read it on one of my topics and nobody challenged it.

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Indeed you do, the problem with telemetry is that it’s only really of true value to you on a one trick pony As that’s all you can set most things up “perfectly” for. For example It would be great to set a vehicle up for just climbing or for just descending tough terrain, as those two disciplines...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    No, rebound for a start is in the damper, not the spring. And that controls the “speed” that the fork can extend. But where is the fork extending too in my example above, (seated, level smooth ground, sudden 20mm pothole)? It’s extending into what you set as the sag space… So imagine you had...
