I've recently build up my seaboard gr02, in the special Blue/Purple glitter color way they have. Tbh the color is a bit too much for be, but oh well. This will be my main commuter, do any of you happen to have found fitting mudguards for the rainy days?

Did anyone have to contact 80's Designer store for a warranty issue? I messaged the store but didn't get any reply regarding a batt problem.

My ER9 (bought Nov 2023) seems to have a battery drain issue which depletes the batts about 10% everyday without any riding.  Batts are new Vapcell F12 and all firmware updated.  Compared to another ER9 set that I got in Feb 2024 which drains maybe 1% per day which probably seems to be the norm.

Anybody have a similar experience?

Just received a reply from 80's designer on sending me a new RD and wanted US$15 for shipping.

Somewhat peculiar. I'm looking for white colored stem (not polished silver) but can't find it. Kalloy Uno has silver ones and on eBay I found a single listing for white Uno stem not sure if it's white from factory or was painted over. I know Aliex search can be very difficult to get to specific item and would appreciate if anyone can find white Uno stem?

Have GR9 on my Salsa. The thumb shifter cannot be accessed from drops because it’s located way too high. If you are going to have flared bars, it’s even more difficult.

Edit: actual shifting performance is great though. Can't find fault with it. Its the lack of finesse and that thumb shifter placement take away all the fun.
