Response from customer service: "We’re ready with a new product that will replace Smartmousse. Everythingis ready for the launch but unfortunately we can’t do anything for the covid emergency."

Yep

I don't see how this is any less meaningful. Check the level on the dipstick when sealant is first added to establish a baseline and go from there.

I find the Huck Norris inserts interesting but just heard a mention of the SmartMousse tube/inserts. Anyone tried them? The fact that they come with a 12-month "insurance cover on punctures" is also interesting. I've emailed the company to ask how one obtains service as there was no support...

similar to checking the oil in your car, I would think. You rotate the tires so that the valve stem is that the lowest point and any sealant should pull up below that. Remove the valve core and insert dipstick until it touches the tire. If it's all dried up, then there won't be any sealant on...

Crap! I know about patching tubes but never thought to patch the tire!

A new tire, unfortunately. Somehow there is a nearly invisible cut on the sidewall near the rim which leaks, slowly or quickly, when it has a mind to, and seems to be sealant-proof. I guess $60 (on closeout) is worth the peace of mind, but it sucks to retire a tire after only 130 miles.

Seems a bit of overkill just for transporting to and from the trail.

I believe there was a demo of it on YouTube today.

That subject line sounds vaguely dirty! Thanks, that's the closest thing I've had to a proposition in months!

I try to check every six months.

Sorry, I don't have a Giant and my Shimano control does include an Odometer.

Batteries are HEAVY, not to mention expensive. Just how far to you plan on going? If there's a power outlet anywhere on your ride you just take a break and add a little juice. I have a bike with a Shimano system and 504 watt battery, and my energy will run out before that does!

You mean like the Giant RideControl app? #GoogleIsYourFriend

Okay, that makes sense based on things I've heard, but I never really understood it. Thanks for clearing that up!

I've been using ST Unlocker to monitor my battery health. Yesterday the battery was at 15% and 3 cycles and 100% health before I put it on the charger. I let it charge for an hour or so and disconnected the power. This morning I reconnected and let it charge until all the LEDs on the battery...

Sounds crazy to me. Are you going to provide them with a brand new battery, too?

But it would be so limiting on how and where you could ride, it's not mountain biking it's bike-camping.

As long at the rack supports the weight of the bikes and accommodates the width of the tires it should be fine. One made for a 2" receiver will probably be more stable, but I wager you'll still see the bikes moving around when you're on the highway and wonder if it's going to fall off, but it...
