    Giant Fathom E2 battery problem?

    Thanks for replies. The figure I was concerned about was this 92% battery health (which I haven't a clue what is measures). (They said battery was charged to 97% at time).. Shop suggesting this figure will improve if I drain battery further during use seems rather odd?? But, been out this...

    Giant Fathom E2 battery problem?

    Recently purchased a new Giant E2 Fathom. Really impressed with bike. However, in first week noticed battery doesn't show 100% full even straight after full charging. Phoned shop, explained situation they said they would have a look at first service. First service arrived, by which time, battery...

    Flecc, over the course of discussions on this subject you have called me idiotic, a liar and now suggested I want to prolong this war,an opinion I, m not even going to credit with a reply. Its pointless engaging with you, I, ve said as much before but I won't be posting on subject any more. Your...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I almost feel as sorry for Russian people as Ukrainians. I don't understand Flecc's position at all. Russians are in grip of a ruthless violent regime headed by Putin. The number of times they have shown their animosity towards both West and any kind of alternative view is countless. Navalny...

    Well Russia /Putin has just reinforced all those stereo types with his atrocities, thermobaric bombs and nuclear threats.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yep, I, ve read that as a possible scenario. The big change came with advent of attack Helicopters being able to hide beneath tree level,, pop up, get fixes on massive numbers of tanks, drop back down and release self aiming munitions.. Each helicopter could take out 50 tanks.. Changed strategy...

    Read the article. Trump actually spouts some of your same rubbish. But you didn't read my post, I actually agree blaming US for this situation is idiocy.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The planned battle ground was central Europe. Had the cold War turned hot the battles would not have been fought in Russia. Nato (a defensive alliance) strategy (originally) was to fight a retreating fight to coast. Advent of being able to take out massed ranks of MBTs by helicopter changed that...

    But the whole premise of wanting buffer zones between yourself and those you see as enemies suggest aggression down the line. Defenders don't need buffer zones, they are sat at border defending the country behind them, as with Poland and numerous others. Aggressors on the other hand have war on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Another contentious claim is that Ukraine now has more tanks than they started with. They (claim to) have managed to repair and reuse more damaged or abondoned Russian tanks than they have lost themselves,since both sides operate virtually the same tanks its probably possible. There have been a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I read somewhere that there were 100 kits going initially. A kit represents 10 machines.... But however many it is they are among an 800 million dollar package of arms being sent from US.. .. Including Javelins... Its be coming a testing ground for latest Western technology..

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mod tested some t72s and decided armour was at best variable, some with no heat treatment and brittle, some too much and soft. You only have to look at cages they are welding on top, they are struggling. Reactive armour useless against NLAW, Javelin... They have a series of charges, first one...

    Think its only going to get worse for them aswell. NLAW much as called next generation is actually last one. Real next generation are such as Switchblade drones. They are mortared into battle zone and loiter looking for high value targets,from guns to tanks, fuel wagons to commanders. All...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's not as simple as that Flecc. Russians are (or did, they now say site was hacked) saying around 10,000 soldiers dead and if as in other conflicts that would mean around double that number injured. Units with high levels of losses are withdrawn in attempts to limit demoralisation of remainder...
