Nope. It was solid. Never a worry here...I put the weight on the panniers not on top of the rack. The ride back was so much easier sans the wine bottles and food!
We had a freaky Thursday- Friday of off and ON rain in Friday Harbor! After that, the week was amazingly clear for kayaking and biking. The Orcas leg was tough even with the ST2 for the last 3 mile steep climb with 100 lbs of gear, backpack and my fat a-s. My gal flew up but my panniers and...
We just got back from biking our ST2s all over the San Juan Islands in WA and the first two days it rained pretty heavy on us! I was nervous as well but no issues. I pulled the battery to check the compartment and all is good.
Never find a need for any boost when in mode 3. I live in the Pacific Northwest and between Seattle and Portland face some of the toughest hills in the country and the ST2 Kicks **s on all of them! A throttle would just be redundant IMHO...
So glad I read this before our trip...we went to Bend , OR for a few days of biking and golf. Sure enough, I had error messages on mine and yay, brought my key, reset and back on my way! Thanks for the heads up!
I love mine but am only five rides in and am tweaking it a bit. But Damn, the Body float with a nice Brooks saddle is amazing compared to stock...Did not need the Titanium BF. Aluminum works great! Yes, I would buy it again! If you are on the fence I say buy it, you will not regret it!
