Giant's reputation suffering doesn't bother them in the slightest. Way too big to care...

Water ingress is what you’re dealing with. Egress would refer to water coming out of the battery compartment. (Sorry, I was bored and wanted to show off my stunning intelligence)

Yep, it’s not a cheap pastime, but then what technology based recreation is? You live in Wellington which has a few reasonable surf breaks - I can attest to the much more affordable nature of that sport, esp if you have an EV or hybrid

I’d also be pissed at Giant if I was in that situation and they fobbed off a known design flaw as the rider’s fault (downtube crack).

Possibly. Applied inside the downtube won’t ‘mask’ a crack, but might help prevent it. Are the majority just dumping their bikes when warranty expires?

Has anyone thought about putting a layer of reinforced epoxy over the joint to maybe prevent movement or is everyone just waiting for the crack and using warranty?
