I haven't heard that as a reason for not charging to 100%
The exploding batteries are those that are NOT genuine eMTB batteries, which are tested and certified.
The only one I know of that stuff exploded/caught fire was because the owner put the wrong screw in the frame and went through the...
I've got a 4 year old Whyte with a Bosch 625 battery.
I jet wash it, although carefully.
The battery has been out of the frame around 4 times.
It is almost always charged to 100%.
And is often left for weeks, and even months.
As far as I can tell, there hasn't been any degradation.
I've got the same problem, 38 waist, 30 leg! And shortening MTB pants is not straightforward or cheap (Johnsons Cleaners charged me £18 to take 1" off a pair of jeans so it would be a fortune to MTB pants!).
I'm going to try one of the ones posted below)
I suffer from neck and shoulder pain so tried to get more upright and put a higher rise bar on at the same time as the 29er so that has probably made it worse.
I'll stay with the bars and put the 27.5s back on.
Thanks fur you input.
Hi @Craig_85 I've had a shape it link on since it was almost new.
The original fork was a 160mm Zeb Select and the 29er fork I've put on is a 150 Zeb Ultimate 2.1 with a 160 shaft and a Luftkappe.
I've also got a 27.5 Zeb Ultimate 3.1 which I'm thinking of going back to as I'm finding the 29er...
Cheers (though I presume you mean increase in circumference!).
Just be clear, I've just read another post about going mullet where they've swapped out a 29er rear wheel for a 27.5" wheel whereas I've changed the whole front end (same travel 29" forks and 29er wheel).
Waterproof cover for the display (Kiox First Gen off eBay), a short leash to attach the display to the handlebars so it doesn't disappear if it gets knocked off and spare batteries for the controller, display and AXS if you have it.

I've got these Magicshine photochromics only £40 from Merlin

Interesting note about the mullet helping on climbing.
I can't go full 29er as it's a 27.5 wheeled bike.
I'm going to give it a couple of rides and decide which I prefer.
Cheers. As I was reading a lot of reports about the RC2.1 being better than the RC3 I decided to fit a Luftkappe instead of swapping the dampers. I'll leave it as it is until I've given it a bit of a longer test.
Cheers. I did know that but I guess I haven't given it enough of a try out yet to notice - think I need to go to a regular location to see if I can trek the difference.
I've got a Whyte e-160s V1 which came with 27.5 wheels front and rear but I recently mulleted it to a 29" Zeb Ultimate RC2.1 with a Luftkappe running a Hope 29" Pro5 wheel.
I'm struggling to see the benefits of the mullet, except may be a bit of increased ground clearance but I do find that the...
I'd agree with @steve_sordy that it is too high at the back and above the ears, probably need the next size up (or the Boa dial is would fully in).
Also make sure any helmet you do get has MIPS or the makers own version of rotational protection.
