    Review .. a chain guide that does not break

    In all my years of riding, I have never seen a chain guide so poor as the stock version on the Decoy. I have gone through 3 of them: 1. When the bolts backed out (as per YT notice) the PLASTIC mounts broke (ordered replacement) 2. I snapped a chain last season and the PLASTIC mounts broke...

    Well being from Canada, our riding season is coming to an end, so I'll be winterizing the Decoy very soon. The white evil flakes are on the way soon. Will be storing for approximately 4-5 months :( The question is how to properly store the battery. I have done some research and the general...

    Anybody fitted a Bashguard ??

    Has anybody fitted a bash guard to their Decoy since the upper 2 ISCG mounts are being used by the E13 chainguide ? The other challenge is finding one that works, given the Decoy is unique in requiring the e13 chain guide alone. I was thinking of some king of "triangular wedge" epoxied to the...

    Thoughts ? 170mm Fox 36 and High BB Setting?

    I have had my Decoy for a couple weeks now and am absolutely loving it!:love: The only area I am concerned about (albeit have adapted in the last few rides) is the very low BB. In fact I just replaced a 4 month old set of pedals that were almost new when installed yesterday because I have...

    ETA for 2020 Giant E-bikes

    Does anybody have any "insider info" on the arrival of the 2020 Giant E-Bike offerings? Either via a connection or based on historically when they arrive in the shops (ie based on last year). I have a deposit on one for my wife, and it would be cool to be able to ride it this year. Cheers

    Transporting e-bikes in the rain strategies

    I understand that most e-bikes have an "IP Rating" (ingress progression) code that protect against the ingress of dirt and water, however was wondering what "extra" strategies people take to ensure no water gets into their battery and motor units. Not too concerned about washing the bike (easy...
