Medium and Gloss Avocado Green from what i've read in the original post. Price, who knows, but it won't have any warranty despite the nearly new status.
Not a mention, as yet, of Mavic's E-Deemax S Series wheels - probably due to lack of availability. I have two sets that I picked up during lockdown on sale.
They are truly tubeless, having dual chambers that keep the spoke ends separate from the tyres. The black finish on the rims appears...
Given the big delays that are leading to riders' bikes being off the run for long periods of time; it would be a great gesture if the manufacturers gave those people, that have experienced warranty delays, the goodwill of extending their bike's warranty, given the fact that they've not had the...
The context of my reply was in relation to JBrown15's comment on current Bullit owners maybe feeling a tad ripped off if a newer, 720wh Bullit comes out next year. That newer Bullit could likely be coming in at the £9.8k mark, so the early Bullit owners will have benefited from a year or more of...
Ok, the Darfon battery mounts are different to Shimano and they're different battery sizes, so they're not interchangeable.
Shimano have a new agreement with a couple of independent battery manufacturers and give full warranty cover on them.
My tuppence worth... Ordered mine January '21. LBS told me it was going to be sketchy and informed me on delays - the last being Christmas. Come December and the XT wasn't coming and I was offered an S or XO. I wasn't happy down-grading and upgrading was prohibitively expensive, so I chose to...
It's kind of all relative... those people that were lucky enough to get one of the first Bullits have benefitted from riding a bike that cost substantially less than the new Bullits and Hecklers, with the latter coming in more expensive, like for like, complete with the lower spec C Carbon.
Another easy one to remember is... for most people, short legs = low stack, long legs = high stack.
So, if you have gangly legs and a stumpy torso, you're likely to be better off riding a bike with a high stack of over 650mm, but will need a shorter ETT - under 650mm - for seated riding and a...
A longer than average ETT will give you a roomier cockpit when seated. However, if you have a steep seat angle and a slack head angle, that will shorten the distance a little, but you also have to factor in the reach and stack. Take the Bullit and the Kenevo for instance. They both have similar...
I have a bit of an update on UK Bullit availability having just received a call from my LBS. Don't expect any Shimano XT Bullit's any time soon folks. Santa Cruz are having a nightmare getting all the parts together and the latest update on availability is around July/August next year. That's...
I've never test rode any bike i've actually bought, since my first MTB in 1987, to the Trail Pistol I ride today. I have a Bullit on order and I haven't test ridden that, but the geometry is virtually identical to my TP, bar the wheelbase being a tad longer, which i've found to be a shortcoming...
Hmmm.... Bullit availability.
Ok, so the lack of informations on eta of my bike has proven mildly interesting.
My LBS hasn't got a scooby on when it might arrive, so I contacted Steve Chase at SC and asked him the simple question of when my bike might arrive. I didn't ask for specifics, just a...
I'm 1.98m, 117kg and pretty fit for my age and weight penalty. I test rode the Heckler at FoD, mostly in Trail/Boost to see how quick I could burn out the range and got 20 miles with over 3000 feet of climbing. At the end of the test ride I was showing two bars, but had been on that for a while...
Purely out of interest, is it possible to mount an external bottom headset cup to the Rail? Yes, I know it'll increase the head angle, but would it then allow the fork to clear the frame?
If you're still unsure, do as I did and contact Focus directly. I was interested in the Sam2 becuase the geometry really suits a tall rider in the biggest size. I asked them if the weight limit of 120kg was due to a component not being up to a higher weight standard or if the frame itself wasn't...
