    Electric vest

    I have an Ororo heated vest and love it. I never seem to need anything more than the lowest setting, so the battery always lasts for an entire ride. Not sure I'd like being wired/tethered to the bike though.

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    I use Squirt lube, and it is wax based. At this point I have over 7000kms/4400mi and the chain measures under .5 I cannot really say it's the lube, my riding/shifting style or what but I'll take it!

    Politeness? My good man, I have completely and utterly avoided any and all insults etc. 'Tis you sir that insinuates ridicule, not I. I merely point out that your argument has no merit mate. To make a blanket statement that all Giant products have water ingress problems is factually incorrect...

    C'mon man... Which one of us has the unshakeable blanket authority to label every Giant bike as either having water ingress problems, or that they are flawless? The guy who had one Giant bike with water ingress problems, or the guy who has had 2 Giant bikes with zero problems? The answer...

    Yes, I have. And again, your experience with your single example is anecdotal. That is not to say that your experiences are invalid in any way, just that to apply it to an entire brand is inaccurate and/or misguided. It does not help people at all. If I were to apply your logic to my experience...

    My memory is intact. Your experience is anecdotal. No need to assume what happened to you happens to everyone everywhere, or that what you do is something everyone should do.

    Squeaked in an other short ride yesterday after grocery shopping to gather a couple of things I needed at a couple of different stores. The weather was nice enough at 16C that I didn't bother with a jacket at all. Gorgeous out! Under the bridge is a little noisy... Into a small park near...

    Friday I felt like carp, but decided to quickly head out to the grocery store to return an item that had been recalled. Uncomfortable... weather was iffy and only 10C. Rained on my way back. Yesterday I felt much better and the weather was stellar pushing 15C with sunshine. Off to the...
