That being the case, Collin needs to get out and ride for the next several days, as the last few days have been sunny and there's no rain predicted in Berkeley until next weekend. It's the longest dry spell we've had this year. Peter's info on the weatherproof black-boxing of the Edelux's

Where riding and work meet to make for interesting stories is memorable indeed. That sounds so different from where I live, other than the wind. My first bike as an adult was a Kona Blast, and I had two wheel sets. I remember trying to keep up with my brother in law one day with the road

Some of my most memorable rides involved bad weather. I recall many moments from a ride close to 20 years ago, where halfway into a 60k ride it started snowing, a lot. I rode home 30km in what accumulated to 5cm of snow, on 35mm tires. I used a small backpack with a water bladder and the

You swap 'em without cables installed: left goes on right, right goes on left. Then you put the cables on and run them in friction. Once it's done it will seem simple but I can verify the brain takes a minute to grasp the idea. On Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 11:15:30 AM UTC-7 Kiley Demond

It's possible for water to enter the Edelux II housing, though it is not easy. However, the electronics inside are permanently encased in some sort of goop (that's a highly technical term) and will never be affected by water. So just keep riding and after a few days in good weather the little

It's my understanding Collin that *any* moisture inside an Edelux II is considered by SON a defect and the warranty applies.I wouldn't try anything to remove it as it may void the warranty. Since yours is within the warranty period, contact your retailer about the moisture and it may be
