It is alive!

After my couple month long wait my bike has finally arrived! I am happy with what I chose. The blue carbon in the sunlight is spectacular.

The only issue I have so far is the dropper post drops on its own, but I think I just need to add more air.

I swapped the pedals already, and have already gotten it dirty. This machine is awesome.

Looks great. Nice colour match for your car! Dropper cable could be too tight to latch

The blue have have a nice affect in the sun I agree!

which car tow bar mount is that?
looks good no

Thank you.

Is there a lock out position at the very top? I thought it might just need more air.

Thank you.

The rack is called a 1up rack and it is my favorite rack so far. I have 2 of them I like them so much. The black one is a single bike rack that is their super duty version to hold more weight ( you can add extensions up to a total of 3). The silver one that I have is a double with one added extension. You can add up to one more bike for a total of 4 if need be.

I like how the rack only holds the tires with nothing touching the frames.

I highly recommend them.

This is the same rack mounted on my old Jeep holding a fat tire bike. You can get an adapter to accommodate the extra width if needed.

I also noticed that although my bike has the current updates to some of the past issues, I noticed that the rubber bumper is now missing from the down tube.

Is this no longer needed?

It's only on the smaller sizes. Know it's on a small, not sure about medium.

Gotcha, it was on the medium that I test rode. Thank you

I took the bike back to the lbs today. The cable was the culprit. It was too short. They replaced it and now it is good to go. There is no air valve on this dropper post, unlike the one I saw on an expert, on YouTube.

Uh oh...bike is two weeks old and it won’t turn on. That sure didn’t last long

Maybe it isn’t alive after all

LBS called today and said the “fix” was just making sure the plug was firmly seated into to battery. I don’t really buy it because I disconnected it and put the charger on several times to try and get it going. Hopefully that is all it was...fingers crossed.
