This is my first bike with front suspension so not sure if it’s normal. But I noticed some free play in the front fork today. Eg if I hold the front brake clamped and then rock the bike front and back, I can feel the play where the stanchions go into the lower parts of the fork. It’s not...

Curious if anyone has put clipless pedals on their Explore E+ bike ? I’ve got an E+1 GTS and while I can just crank the assist and enjoy the ride, when I do want to do a little more myself, wondering if clipless pedals would be better.
