Not crap.. the painted area dripped far less condensation in the colder months.

Should try it out by applying it to a small area and then compare to rest of the surface, I'll do it tomorrow.

@@nic-o1341 any updates?

@@regularjoe9032 It did seem to work for first few days but it's back to square one.

There is anti condensation paint. Google will show what's near you.

@@LisaSoulLevelHealing thank you beautiful person 😊

Yes

No more condensation drops however the roof dropped entirely

@@NoNopeAndNo wondering what you meant by the roof dropping? Did the weight of the paint cause it to drop. did it cave in?

@@BarbaraCooper357 hi Barbara, I was making a joke as there was no reply by video poster. I do not know the outcome. Wish I knew

@@BarbaraCooper357 hello. I have had the same problem with my tin roof. The condensation was really bad. I tried the painting method in this video but unfortunately it didn’t work. Not at all. It can get pretty cold here in sunny England. I bought a roll of laminate floor underlay and some carpet glue spray and stuck the underlay to the roof panels inside and it worked a treat. I’ve had no condensation ever since. One tip though, I had to ensure the underlay was completely and fully bonded so all of the metal was covered. Hope this helps 😃🇬🇧👍🏻

@@krisconroy285 Hi there! Thanks so much for the feedback. I didn't actually get around to trying the paint before winter weather hit us here in the very chilly Pacific Northwest and now I'm glad I didn't. I wondered about the difference in climate between here and downunder...which with your experience obviously was a valid concern. Don't know if I'll try your remedy though as It does not sound all that attractive??? But you saved me lots of time, effort and $$$ Thanks, again

yes on top will not stop sweating must paint underneath

The paint that I used was a paving paint that I had left over..it may contain some small amount of rubber type additive with it being paving paint..but I dont really think that is the primary reason why it worked. I was telling a guy who does a lot of home reno work recently and he said that just coating the metal was probably enough for it to insulate it enough to not create the condensation. It may not work under all conditions but if you have this issue I would suggest trying a small area to see if it works... as it did for me. Cheers.

@@ascottaudio Thanks for your reply. Many You tubers do not bother. Happy New Year.

@@ascottaudio do you have the name of that pain?. i could try the same for my tin roof. well, start with small area and see how it goes.

@@anilvarghese9778 Im pretty sure it was Burger Jet Dry paving paint (An Australian brand I think)..but I think the only thing that a paving paint may have is a bit of rubber compound in it..so if you cant get the burger I would try another paving paint. Cheers.

@@ascottaudio ĺ.mm.

Its 50ks but I think that's riding using full battery so you can squeeze a bit more out of it I think

Haha...I was wondering if anyone was ever going to pick up on that! As I am a musician/audio engineer and have super good hearing, I of course heard it immediately. I did wonder if I should do it again..but then also thought that the slight"out of breath" feel may also add a slight touch of "ive just come back from a 50 K ride realism..which just btw, was the case. Cheers.

@@ascottaudio Didn't mind the breathing for the record

I believe the longest ride Ive done was 50-60Ks and it still had 1-2 bars left. So rather good I think. Cheers.

Yes and after some time on my non Ebike I am even more in love with it!

Great stuff..you wont be disappointed!

Thank you very much.Cheers.

Thanks so much for the feed back. Cheers.

And voids your warrenty on a new bike!

I've got the same bike and spoke to the managing director of cycle world Portsmouth and he said any speed hacks like the magnet on the pedal makes the bike do over 90thousand k a month and someone else had it voided because of that reason

Yep...and after doing over 600Ks on the bike I put ON a kilo!...proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that exercise (alone) does jack...I then went on a more radical diet and have lost over 20ks so far.

Yes and I'm happy to say I've lost almost 20 since then. Cheers.

Hi Baron. Ive had no issues at all with the bike. I sometimes think about redistricting the speed as at times it would be nice to get just a little more top speed assistance. And it can be tricky to get the gear selection right (on occasions))..if you are not in the right gear it can be easy to "bog down" I do find myself thinking that I wish the bike had a larger "power band"..but in general I still find it to be quite addictive and it gets me out doing long rides and getting good workouts..that I otherwise would not..and so it is defiantly helping me to get fitter, and to ride for longer and more often. Cheers.

@@ascottaudio Hi Scott. Giant should pay you a commission! Based on your review, and lots of reading, I bought one. So far so good and you were right about the pedals. Not only were they way small, they also felt like they have crappy bearings. I changed mine out straight away. Derestricting would be good but I am not going to lose sleep over it or fork out $300 for a dongle. It is probably just a software hack as they sell them as class 3 bikes in some markets. I do have a rattle around the stem that might be the battery or a loose cable. I will take it for a ride without the battery and see if the noise goes away. Apart from that, it's a great bike and I'm loving it.

Rattle turned out to be the cables inside the frame. Apparently, not uncommon with internally routed cables.

These come with a 400.

This one has the 400 but I have found it more than antiquate so far. Cheers.

Hey Dave, I saw your posts on the emtb forums. I'm thinking of purchasing an E+ 2 as well! I'm kind of torn between it and getting last year's Specialized Turbo Levo FSR Fattie. It's a full suspension with 3" tires, compared to the E+ 2's hardtail and 2.6" tires. I live on a First Nation reserve in Ontario with tons of elevation changes, and mostly riding on shoulders (medium to hard packed). Should I spend the extra money on a full suspension or do you think the E+ 2 would be fine? I do have a suspension seatpost that I can transfer over from an older bike to help mitigate the roughness of the hardtail.

@@nickpurdy I bet a hard tail with suspension post would be good, but it's really kind of subjective. Not sure if I bought a new bike if I'd go full sus or not. Fathom has been awesome.

I’m looking at the E3+. Canuck too! 🇨🇦

Yes you are correct. Many of the new ebikes are now starting to replace the on-board screen with an app that works in conjunction with your phone. The "ridecontrol" app is used for the 2019 Giant Fathom. The important stuff can still be seen on the controller as LED's (assist and charge level) . I guess some may like to see a screen in front on them, but I really like the app and I think that perhaps less is more in this case. The app hooked up to the bike straight away (via blue tooth)...with the app you are able to: Track your ride, change the power settings within each level of assist, see exact battery level used, cadence, and calories burned and the like..Pretty cool hey...You can however still just ride without the app/phone if you like. The other interesting thing in this regard, is that 3rd party apps are already beginning to come on the market. www.giant-bicycles.com/global/news/ridecontrol-app-functionalities/23190

Scott Barclay wauw! After watching your video and leaving a message I couldnt sleep anymore 😂👌 So I looked it up and now I get it. And yes for me it would be a (tech and functional) progress. No more broken or stolen displays, leds are definetely enough during a ride. Looking forward to see more uploads of your fathom. Enjoy and love your ride. And I, oh I just need to decide between this one and his bigger brother. End of the Haibikes 👌

@@cochinfarmbanana8774 I was also thinking about getting the next model up (I think its call the fathom E Power) but they are not available here (Australia). www.giant-bicycles.com/at/fathom-eplus-3-power-2019

I have only had it for a few days and apart form those couple of minor ergonomic cripes it seems all good. It has been re-charged a couple of times now and I have also downloaded and connected the bike to the "ride control" app. The app works great. It tracks rides and gives stats. The app also gives you the option to "tune" (you can increase or decrease the power for each power level setting) . I haven't felt the need to do this as yet but it is a great feature. One very small thing I realized is that the remaining charge indicators show 5 levels.. I think it would make more sense for it to be an even number ( so that you know the approximate half way point ..and can turn around to come back)..but you can just check the remaining charge on the app..just means stopping to check at times. At this point riding the Fathom is totally addictive!

No issues at all to date.
