So you're not using the MIK deck? Does the Comyou Pro get very close to your heels? I like the look of this bag but don't want to deal with heel interference...

Spinning the MIK deck around will def gain an inch or so. Here's a couple of pics of a Metro rack on a Quick E (not mine)

Downhill tubes are usually heavier an Out of interest I checked the dishing on my wheel, thinking it may be contributing to the tiny LHS clearance, and it was perfect. Seems the frame chainstays are not designed for symmetrical clearance. I may still adjust the dishing to get a couple more mm...

Brake pads are designed to move freely on the split pin. You'd have to put a stethoscope on a single-pot Shimano caliper to hear pad noise - the finned Shimano pads with heatsinks do rattle a bit but it's never bothered me. You could try retensioning the pad springs... (assuming you're using pad...

Are they fire proof? https://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/a28778383/electric-bike-explosion/

Creaks under pedalling load can come from multiple sources. This is my suggested approach based on creak elimination on my Quick E: Check the 3 x T30 motor mount bolts are tight (might need to renew the blue Loctite if they are loose). Remove crank arms (you'll need a crank puller), grease...

That’s bad luck on the new ride, hope the shoulder is ok. To me, it looks as though the derailleur cable was pushed into the wheel/cassette, maybe by the pannier. This might have happened if there was a large loop of cable. I suspect that may have caused your crash.

That would be me, sorry Blu. Had one on order with Giant Wlgtn, (but you never hear back from them). Rang Evo and ba da bom... cheers M8tt!

Standover is over-rated. How much time do you spend standing over the top tube compared to how much time you spend on the saddle? For me on my commute, it's zero. However, reach and top tube length are critical for good handling and proper pedalling fit. I also don't like having the front wheel...

You need a shock pump. The cheapest one will be fine for a commuter fork which doesn't do much. Typically sag is set to around 25%, but you could go less if you want a firmer ride. The lock-out is there for people who should have bought a rigid fork (i.e. any road bike), or people who like to...

Trade it in for the next size up - nothing worse than riding too small a frame. These Giant commuters fit very small, the reach figures are more suited to a road frame with drops and a massive old-school 110-120mm stem, than a commuter with a flat/low rise bar. Modern bike geometry trends...

Yep - took the rack off, put it upside down in a woodwork bench vice and pulled the rack stays over to the right. Only took a small tweak but it wasn’t possible on the bike.

Horizons are only 47mm. G-Ones are 2.25" (57mm). 2.8" rubber will reduce your range considerably.

Why would you want 2.8s? Going beach riding? Here's another example of clearance from the bike rack:

Doubt anything much bigger would fit. The chainstay clarance on mine is around 3-4mm on LHS, and even with better dishing might only be 5-6mm

I think you're right - motorbikes don't have these issues and they're full of electronics, even dirt bikes have computers

I sprayed the Evo display seams, all cable entry ports (including the frame ports) and the controller button assembly with CRC 808 Silicon. It won't cause harm and will help resist water ingress. If it's absolutely hosing down or the bike is being transported on a rack in rain, I'll put a latex...

First thing I did I put a wider bar on my one... Way more control.

Congrats and a nicely framed shot. Interesting to see the suspension fork on a Quick E

No motor issues with my Quick E, one month in. I did tighten the motor mounts after the first few rides and the crank bolts need regular retensioning (really wish they'd used Shimano splined Hollowtech BB/cranks instead of those nasty square taper cranks). My buddies have Trance E's and they...
