Open the Fork too much honey for me
How is that any help?! I clearly state I have searches and found some vague comments but nothing that helps anyone who has no knowledge of ebikes. I came here thinking it was a friendly helpful forum. Clearly notSearch

Search for 3M tape, there’s a whole load of posts about how to apply to the battery storage compartment to improve the seal. I followed the tips and now mine is pretty much bone dry, even after hosing the bike down to wash it.How is that any help?!

I know of a rider on Vancouver Island who has ridden through the wettest fall on record and has had exactly zero issues with water ingress. The bike is ridden hard on the knarliest trails in an addictive fashion and hasn’t missed a beat. Just decide, buy and ride!!!!Search for 3M tape, there’s a whole load of posts about how to apply to the battery storage compartment to improve the seal.

Read something about water ingress on the reigns. Similar to tsu on specialized? Can someone explain it and how best to avoid it?
For the 2022 Giant Reign E+, it's just water ingress in the battery compartment, which IMO shouldn't actually affect the battery's ability to perform.
That motor warranty seems too leaky to name it a warranty. It seems like there is a way to void the warranty that covers most situations. The value of that warranty for giant is if people only read the headlines, not the detail. I'd rather have a 2 year warranty that is real.
If a warranty doesn't cover parts or labor, then I wonder what they cover actually.
I also have removed 3 of the tokens and it still felt harsh. So I borrowed a ShockWiz from a friend. To calibrate the ShockWiz you have to let all of the air out of your fork and then pull it up to full travel. When I tried this it wouldn’t pull up, like it was sucked down.I was finding the 38s to be a bit harsh and after reading a few comments on here decided to check how many tokens are installed. And yep there was three. Riding at windhill bike a park tomorrow so going to drop to 1 token, hopefully that solves the problem.

Thanks buddy I’ll give that a go. This is one of the most helpful forums I’ve been on. Not much dick slinging goes on here and I think if someone is offended just remember comments or advice can sometimes come across the wrong way when written in text rather than when spoken.

I took it into my lbs and they contacted the Fox service agent in NZ. Initially they said there wasn’t a problem and I hadn’t set the shock up properly.
When we persisted then they told the service tech at the lbs to let all of the air out while using a block between the crown and steerer to hold it at full travel, then pump to up to usable travel and then hold the fork down to equalise it. This seemed to work but after one run it was sucking back into its travel again and when I emptied the air out it it pulled the fork down tight again.
Now they have said that there is obviously too much grease in the negative chamber and it’s not allowing the fork to equalise properly.
They are going to service it under warranty.
It maybe worth checking if your fork is doing the same thing. Empty all the air out and if you can’t pull the fork up to full travel there is a problem.

I got it to work. Had to loosen the break clamp to get it into place. Thanks!You can mount the dropper lever between the ridecontrol and brake lever for better reach and thumb contact. No need to keep the default placement.

It was 75000 sek in Sweden. In December it was increased to 78300 sek. I paid 65k+5k of store stuff. So they do have wiggle room.Was checking the wheelbase of my bike to compare to my Amish bike and just noticed the price just went up E+1 $300 $8199 -> $8499 CDN. Anyone else notice it on your countries website from what you paid?
Did Rob's review increase the price! ;p
For sure it will fit. But you will limit the travel to ~154mmTo all the suspension geeks out there a bit of advice. I have a transition patrol with a trunk on mount coil which is 205mm x 60mm. The giant reign is 205mm x 62.5 mm. Would the coil from my patrol fit on my giant? Thanks for any help.
Thanks for that buddy. Hopefully I can cope with a few mm lessFor sure it will fit. But you will limit the travel to ~154mm

Indeed. But if it's a RockShox, there's just a plastic spacer below the bottom out bumper that you can remove. It is probably a 5mm spacer or two 2.5mm spacers. If it's a 5mm spacer and you remove it, you may be able to run 65mm stroke, which would increase travel ~6mm. That's what I'm running on my non-E Reign and will be doing with the Reign E+ once I get it, assuming there's enough clearance in the frame during full bottom out.
My understanding is that the 60, 62.5, and 65mm RockShox shocks are all the same thing, just with travel reduced via external spacers. I could be wrong, but I think Fox is the same way, but with internal spacers.
That's not what she said
@jasperofpuppets I’m running a ohlins ttx22m on my other bike so not sure about the spacer I’ll have to take a look. The only thing I’m thinking is I’ll need to run a firmer spring due to the differences in weight. I’ll speak to the shock supplier tomorrow as they can tell you depending on bike and rider weight.

Mine E+0 does the same sound when it decouples. If there is load on the pedals it went quiet . Also my Motor Motor became much more quiet after 500km regarding the wining noise. now it is very quiet. But this decoupling sound is a little bit annoying . Please keep us informed what your LBS says.
Hey everyone.
Did my second ride today.
Reign E +1 625Wh All Stock
1.49h
Average speed was 15,6km/h
95% Mode 1, 5% Mode 2
28,43 km
715m altitude gain
33% battery consumption(71% >>> 38%)
1st battery charge
Temperature 6°C
Today's ride was with a buddy that has the previous Reign with the PW-X 2 with a 500Wh battery and has a speed box(unlimited speed) in it. So he did 27,8km basically the same as me and for most of the ride used mode 1 except for the last 20min he used 3 and 4 for a fast getting home(at 44km/h). He burned 48% of the battery. The extra battery consumption is due to the speed box, otherwise it would be about the same...as he says if he pedals the same up to 25km/h the consumption is no higher.
So if we do a little calculating...theoretically with a fully charged battery in mode 1 it would be possible to do a 86km and 2166m vertical tour ride with the new Reign. Possibly a bit more in warmer temperatures. I will do more similar tests in other modes if I don't return the bike.
Also did check, did a video on motor/frame resonance noise issue I already mentioned before in this forum. After tightening the battery and cover it didn't get any better.
After constant climbing for about a half an hour it did quiet down a little bit, as if when the motor got warmer it was better.
But then again after descending and cooling it down it came back again...
It present mostly in the upper part of the cassette when pedaling/motor working. When I stop pedaling/motor stops running it goes away.
Also I noticed that the noise dimms a bit for a moment when going over curbs etc...
It doesn't affect the motor performance in any way, as the motor is really quiet, this noise makes unbearable for the ears...
Does anyone have the same issue?
What do you think should I go to Giant LBS with it?
I tested the ANT+ sensors Cadence,Speed Power on my Garmin Fenix 6X. Worked beautifully.
Average input power across all the ride was 62W.
Max average input power(20min) was 118W.
Average cadence was 59 rotations/min
Max cadence was 137 rotations/min
Didn't really check the speed.
I could easily maintain 26km/h without motor assistance...there is basically very little internal drag.
Attaching a link to the video:
Cheers

Hey thanks for chiming in.Mine E+0 does the same sound when it decouples. If there is load on the pedals it went quiet .

Hey didn't do that. I will though try all modes before I go to the LBS. Will keep you posted .Only a curiosity, did you try automatic mod? Same sound?
