I just finished doing the Cannell Trail n Kernville, Ca. It is on the IMBA Epic list and as I found out for good reason. The trail starts at Sherman Peak 9,300 feet of elevation and ends up in Kernville at 2,600 feet of elevation. We started at about 8:30 am and it was 38 degrees Fahrenheit...

I’ve been wanting a tailgate pad for a while but I was holding off because I did not feel like having to attach the pad with the straps around the tailgate every time I go riding. I found this one that attaches using magnets. They make a full size tailgate one and a two bike one. I just got the...

How do you even pay attention to the trail with views like that. Looks amazing

My Yamaha motor is silent as well. One of my favorite parts of the bike is hot quiet it is compared to other bikes. I would take the bike to the shop to get it looked at.

Quick morning ride before the heat sets in.

Good call on the Reign. I have a ‘22 Reign E+2. It’s been a great bike. Climbs well and it a beast downhill.

Ok so I did the latest update and then did a ride to see how everything was. No over heating this time and the ride was in 95 degree weather with a decent amount of climbing so it seems the overheating isn’t a problem. Then put it on the charger and it charged all the way to 100% without having...

Added some Deity bars with 38mm rise. Feels so much better on the trail.

I have found that with the charging issue I have to plug my bike in and let it charge for a few hours. Then unplug it entirely from the bike and the wall. Wait thirty seconds and then plug everything back in and charge for a few hours. I have to repeat this until it’s fully charged. I’m going to...

With the last update I noticed I get the overheating issue and now my bike has a hard time charging to fill charge. Very frustrating.

I had this issue recently on my ‘22 reign e2. I was about 6 miles into a climb in about 80 degree weather. I stopped for a couple of min and it went back to normal. I’ve had the bike about a year and it has never happened before even with the extreme heat last summer. I’m assuming it is from one...

Continuing with my black and purple color theme I got some Deity bars and grips. Still have some more parts to get but it’s getting closer to being finished.

Well I have finally experienced the dreaded Giant charging issue. I loaded my bike up to go ride the other day and when I got to the trail I discovered my bike was only at 35% charged. Super bummed but made the best of it and did a small ride. Then I got home and plugged it in. 24 hours later...

From what it looks like it’s very similar to the previous gen. I feel like if my motor ever lets go I’ll upgrade to this as a replacement. Otherwise I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Hey all, So yesterday I did the newest update on my bike before going on a ride. I was about 6 miles in of mostly fire road climbing and I was using the adaptive mode. I was nearing the top of the climb when the bike automatically kicked me into a lower assist mode. The fifth might on the power...

Upgraded to some new Deity pedals.

I made my own version of a Mcleod tool. Works pretty well for cutting / scraping and as a tamper too.

I decided to make a quick little bike stand. I come from a dirt bike background so I wanted a center stand like I used to use on my dirt bike. This I made this trail maintenance tool. I know you can buy tools similar to this but I wanted one that was a little wider and with sharpened edges to...

I run the flip chip in high mode and I keep a close eye on shock pressure. Basically before every ride I take two min to check tire pressure and shock pressure. I find that I needed to re learn how to ride on technical up hills to avoid pedal strikes. Once I changed my technique a little bit the...

Did a little riding in the mist today. It was a little eerie riding with such low visibility. SoCal dirt is near perfect right now
