Been very happy with my Felt that I bought about six weeks ago. All Shimano and other name-brand components so should be able to get it serviced anywhere. Some brands (Specialized/Trek among them) are notorious for their proprietary components. Incidentally, I purchased through Amazon and was...
Might be nice to turn off heart rate charts in settings for those who don't use a HRM. Also, be nice to have a 'Delete All' function under Statistics, or be able to select multiple to delete, or maybe have a "Keep last n" setting.
I really don't think going by the number of bars is giving enough precision as 4 bars could be anything between 60% and 80%. Invest a couple of dollars in ST Unlocker and you can see exactly what the battery charge state and health are, as well as the number of cycles on the battery! This info...
I have the 8000 motor and 7000 display. I also have internal battery, under the down tube. I have to reach under to power on, and the charge port is also underneath, right next to the LEDs. I'm looking on the battery itself, not the display.
Your power bars don't light up on the battery when it's charging? Mine do. I figure when the last light starts flashing then the charge is about 80%, so can unplug then if that's when you want to stop.
I’m sure you are not happy about the thought of paying to ship it back to Germany, but that may be what it takes. Buying something that isn’t supported locally is a risk.
I agree with your math, but I believe that I charged my 504w battery from 0-100% in around 4 hours, so I don't think the 22%/hour figure could be accurate. I have not collected a lot of date on this (though I would like to see a lot of date on this) and sometimes have a fuzzy memory.
it sucks to get a new bike with damage, but when you decided to go ride it then you basically decided to accept the bike as is. Maybe Orbea will give you something but the bike is yours. Ride it and love it.
Yeah, these things happen. I brought my new bike home on Saturday and attempted a firmware update myself and bricked to the computer. Had to wait until Monday morning to get it reset and ride the bike.
