Thanks!
The GIANT buying experience is like buying a Mercedes Benz. They bend over backwards to make you happy. This is now number three for us. And we are now bike-poor.
My dealer called me and said there was a minor chip in the paint on the battery cover, but that they would kick me back some change for it. When we got there he showed it to us, could hardly tell, but he refunded $75. That nearly paid for the GTX rack and bag - with the flip-down panniers. I have never seen one of these before, it is beyond cool.
I gave her my phone mount and set her up with the RideOne Control app, it's very slick. Unfortunately there is no usb port from the pack, so you either recharge at destination, or figure out a way to connect a charge-brick. The 3' lightning cable I had on mine was too short for hers, but a 4 or 6-footer would work, put the brick in the trunkbag side pocket, run the cable up the frame tubes, Velcro tiedown wraps.
For my Trance I don't want my expensive smart phone clipped to the bars, so I start the app and put the phone in my pocket - it runs in the background, works very well, but is a battery hog. I picked up a CatEye cycle computer, it's very slick and easy to use, and cheap. It's battery lasts a year. It took some fiddling to mount the wireless sending unit on the fat forks, but finally got it to work reliably. The first 3 miles of my ride were hit and miss with it. Once I repositioned the sender and magnet it started working. I like having the speedo, trip, and time available. It's not likely to hurt me if I go over the bars.
