    New Allant+ 8S owner, impressions and a question

    Thanks for the reply! I like the look of that kinekt stem, how do you like yours? Did you get the 7 or 30 degree?

    New Allant+ 8S owner, impressions and a question

    Yes, the first thing I did was swap the thudbuster and Brooks saddle from my Stromer to this bike. For some reason it's almost too bouncy on this bike and I might replace one of them.

    New Allant+ 8S owner, impressions and a question

    Yeah, definitely taking a wait and see on the forks and I'll play around with tire pressures, thanks for the tip! As for the light, I do a lot of greenway riding and feel constantly hitting people with the light can be rude.

    2017 ST2 controller fried??

    There wasn't water in the battery compartment, it was under the tunnel cover that covers the controller. The controller looks like it's been coated to prevent damage from moisture but obviously it failed somewhere. Not having any type of weather sealing on that cover is a serious design flaw...

    2017 ST2 controller fried??

    So, after a 30 mile trip Sunday morning I cleaned the bike. Just kind of ran a hose over it, not high pressure, while using my hand to clear the little bit of mud that had built up on the bottom of the down tube/battery housing. and put it in the garage. A few hours later I came back in to do my...
