    My 2020 Fathom is running well on 1.4.4. I am fearful of updates crashing my system.

    Update to New Update: Giant's Ride Control App 1.4.5

    That is the wording that appears in the notice of the update. The second sentence makes no sense. has anyone updated yet?

    Problem with latest firmware update

    After deleting the app then reloading onto my iPhone 8 it seems to be fully functional for the first time on my 2020 Fathom hard tall. First time cadence worked and that I could save rides. I really only use this app to modify my assist settings and check battery level. I have other apps I use...

    Air Gauge - Recommendations?

    this was the first unit my LBS pulled off the shelf when I asked for a digital gauge. easy to operate. Tested on our vehicles and my wife’s schrader valves and the pressures looked good. Tested my presta tubes on my plus tires on my MTB and I was surprised how low the pressure was. the gauge is...

    Air Gauge - Recommendations?

    I am looking for recommendations on air gauges. I have had my Giant eMTB for a few months now for both riding in town and some trails. But I want to get into some more trail riding and find the appropriate tire pressure for my weight and riding conditions. I dont mind paying a few extra bucks...

    Light power port for Giant e-bikes

    I am having this unit installed next week on my 2020 Fathom. I would like to have installed a USB port so that I can connect my phone. I try to head out on my rides with a full iPhone charge but got caught short today. I read elsewhere that the Yamaha does not have a port available for a USB...

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    You got only 1,200 miles on your first chain until it failed the stretch test? Did you replace the Shimano after 2,600 miles or is that your mileage so far?

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    Thanks for starting this thread. The creator of the videos in post #20 also has a video on creating small bottles of liquid wax based on his original recipe. It looks and smells very similar to the small squirt bottle of White Lightening I currently use. What I would like to try is the...

    Storing E-Bike Through Winter?

    When I first got my bike I recorded the length of time I charged and the net increase in the % of battery charged. After 2 weeks I determined that for every 15 minutes of charge I increased the battery charge by 10%. Now I just use my phone as my timer. I rarely need 100% battery charge. I...

    Storing E-Bike Through Winter?

    Literature from battery experts say that storing a battery at 100% for a lengthy period of time, even just a few days, will shorten it's life significantly.

    Problem with latest firmware update

    Thanks for the link. If I interpreted the brochure correctly then the auto mode works between assist levels 2, 3 and 4. That reflects my test experience yesterday. Although the surging felt a little disconcerting on paved road I will have to give it a try on trails which is what the PW-X2 is...

    Problem with latest firmware update

    I tried the new firmware today. I purposely picked one of my hillier routes for my test. Finally, the auto setting responds to hills and is not restricted to just the first and 2nd levels of assist. On my steeper sections I was in at least the 4th level and perhaps in to the fifth level. But...

    FATHOM E+0 PRO 2020 BATTERY HEALTH

    What is battery health supposed to indicate? And what does cycles mean? After 3 months mine reads 94% and 11 cycles. I have only charged my battery to 100% five times. I normally keep the battery in the 80% to 20% charge range.

    Do 2020 models use the new Yamaha Drives?

    I have the 2020 Giant Phantom. There is no Yamaha label on the motor and the app says the hardware is version 201901. The spec sheet on the Giant website cals the motor: Giant SyncDrive Pro. Would this be the Yamaha PW-X?

    Kickstand

    I also have an ebike that came without a kickstand, but is something I want to add now. Pletscher rear mounts look great but I have not found any North American suppliers. What else is out there that is suitable for a ~60lb MTB?
