i think its just the buildup stopping the electrical connection, I was camping since thursday and couldnt rip it all weekend 💔 of course i tried soaking it in 91% alcohol because thats all they had in walmart ,two times for 30 min each, but the pictures show what it looks like now. I put it in a 99% soak, and imma use a toothbrush to help agitate the buildup- if this doesnt work, any other ideas? tried resetting it by holding the power button , and cleaned it 100%, thanks in advance

This would be my first bike with gears, I only ever had a cheap steel single speed and now I ride a State Black Label v2 Fixed Gear Setup. Im curious to see if you guys think this is a good value or not, and im planning on using it for my daily 16 mile round trip commute as well as longer rides and light gravel. I dont want super racey geometry because of that, I’d rather be comfortable and lose a few watts. Keep in mind I’m in NYC where 12 year old bikes sell for $200 under their retail from a decade ago 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Its all the completely stock components, and looks like its been barely ridden and the seller is saying its “like new”. The frame is carbon as well as the fork, with the wheels being aluminum. Bike retailed for $2000. Tire clearance is 45mm for 700c, and 55mm for 650b. Picture of the black State is obviously the gravel bike, throwing in a picture of the fixie too just because 😼 (scooter is my coworkers) Please let me know what you think guys, I’d appreciate it more than you know it🙏
