So in your case, a post with less travel/insertion will allow you to get the correct height when extended. If it bothers you that is. Or you can just drop the post a little bit. I'm a big fan of the adjustable travel posts from PNW etc.
Ridden both the 150 and 160 and that's not normal. You can get some motor rattle when coasting, but the battery's a snug fit. I'd take it out (useful to know how to do it anyway) and take a look.
Never heard of that one. I can't imagine it would do anything to dry sealant.
I just remove all the thorns and add two more scoops when it starts to lose air. Did mine yesterday. Rear was dry, full of holes and wouldn't hold air. The front was fine.
Folks used to add all sorts to sealant...
Always wear mine for solo rides. A podcast or radio plus you get your Garmin prompts through them. Lots of tech in them now, they dip the volume and turn the microphones on if I speak, have an ambient mode so you still hear what's going on.
Mine was from Team Cycles, but sold out now.
This one came up on a search, never used the shop though.

I managed to get all the spares for my drivetrain this week, including a 34T SRAM Bosch chainring, so they are about.
Brake pads from Italy, cassette and chains from the Netherlands, and chainring from the UK ??
Mine is in a workshop all year round. Temps vary from +40 to -15. It's been faultless. I don't charge it when the temps are high/low. On a timer so charges in the morning before a ride.
The only other difference I can see with the new bikes is they come with the shape.it link which I assume...
Yeah with the rotating chain approach, you just keep going until shifting performance is unacceptable. No point worrying about the wear limit as you know a new chain will never work anyway, so might as well get as many miles as you can. Although I do measure it so I know when to start looking...
I start with a new drivetrain + 2 spare chains.
Every 250 miles chain comes off and goes in a bucket of degreaser overnight, fresh chain goes on. I do it every 250 miles so there's not too much of a gap between swaps.
Very quick to swap the chains, I also degrease the cassette and chainring...
This is what I do. SRAM GX.
At 1,250 miles now and still less than 0.5% wear (just) with perfect shifting. I rotate the chain every 250 miles, so I should get to 1,750 miles with no issues at all. Might make it to 2,500 miles even.
