AND, it's on sale until monday for HALF PRICE! i already have a fender, but for $49, i'm seriously tempted to get a second one.

@HanahsDax said in Charging Habits:

The V1 I bought a few months ago I’ve taken a different approach. I run it down to single digit percentage and then charge the following day until the charger pack light turns green. The V1 has never been on the charger overnight and has minimal short cycle charges.

this is basically what i'm doing, too, with my Pint. I'm avoiding minimal charges if i can, though. i'm curious to hear what you learn from trying this approach compared to your XR. keep us posted, please!

i find that now that it's getting to be winter i am riding less, so i ride it a couple miles at a time until i drain it as close to completely as i can, and then i let it charge up until the light on the charger is green.

fun! i like the captain morgan slide. way beyond my skillset, but fun to watch. i spent a half hour or so yesterday practicing curb drops, trying to get up my confidence... there's some nice curb cuts nearby all in a row, so i have been progressively trying to ride off slightly higher and higher both toe-side and heel-side. i haven't managed to do the full curb height yet, but i'll get there. it's a small curb, maybe 4" or maybe 5", not sure. need to measure it.

@Sponge315 ouch, that's quite a bruise! glad it's not worse -- how fast do you think you were going?

has anyone tried these, from CarbonSmith? it sounds like it would also help alleviate that weird/annoying sensor problem, too:

oh, i should post mine: i got a good pic (finally) this past weekend. i love Nevada in the fall.

@Franko I would think Redwood/Pacific/Skyline/Elevated modes on the Pint would be equivalent to Sequoia/Mission/Delirium/Elevated on the XR.

well, i have never ridden anything but the Pint, so i don't have any reference point for the modes on the other models. Redwood is the more controlled mode, very useful when learning; Pacific is more open and aggressive feeling, with much more maneuverability; Elevated raises the nose up for going up hills; and Skyline is the most aggressive and "no hand-holding" mode. if those correspond to Sequoia, Mission, Elevated, and Delerium for the other models, then yes.

so, sorry for the delay in posting an update, but i DID in fact get my C&R Pint Superow Backpack yesterday and i have to say, so far i'm very impressed with it. it's very well made, and it looks great. everything mentioned in the video i posted the other day is just as they say. and to answer @b0ardski's question, i actually think there IS a bit of padding along the part that runs along your back/spine. it's not the most comfortable thing i've ever worn on my back, but it's not bad and it's definitely better than nothing. i need to take some pix of it, i guess.... i hope to have time this weekend.

I ride in Delirium for 95% of the time but when draining battery to single digits I use Cruz on my XR.

hmm, interesting. i wonder what the equivalent is for the Pint? would this be Pacific (or Skyline) and Redwood?
