Yet another crappy charging port cover, and you have to remove the brake hose to replace headset bearings. Do bike designers build up a test mule, ride it to grab a latte and then say "Good to go!"? Is the mark-up on a $13,000 bike so low that there's no money for a proper clamp on a charging port cover? They either rely on friction and a shitty bit of rubber, or worse still, magnets that attract dirt due to the tiny bits of iron in them. With 5% of the Earth's crust being iron, why have such a dumb system 30cm above it? :D
