Ok, so I’ll stop bothering you all with questions soon. It’s a tough decision what bike to buy though and I seem pretty limited, not just by budget but by size/fit (5ft3 woman)
One option is the Haibike Hardseven 5. But I read bad things about the chain coming off a lot, over even a bit of...
Wondered what the pros and cons are of each?
Personally I prefer the look of the integrated but I can’t let that be too much of a factor in my buying decision. I’d guess they’re protected from the elements better? But more expensive should a replacement be needed?
any pros to the external...
See, I’m a bit more positive about it. 1500 miles in four month averages roughly 90 a week. You can only do a full day hire so likely more miles covered ( I did 30 but I got there late and only had it five hours). So averaging maybe 50 different riders. And yeah that’s the big downside - who...
So it’s a 2021 bike, they got it in November 2021, so it’s not too old.
It’s done 1500 miles. They said that’s lower than average for their hire bikes (usually twice that) but the extreme end sizes (small or extra large etc) get less use.
They’ll strip it down and replace any parts as...
ha even I’ve disregarded colour, and normally that’s a priority of course!
I might ring and ask more questions. I’d be happier with a years warranty but I know they won’t do that.
I guess it’s that it’s the only one I’ve ridden, I know I like it. Anything else might be a gamble and I might be...
Hardtail is fine for me, it’s what I have now. I do blue runs and happy at my level, taking them fairly slowly for fun, I’m not into getting more technical stuff and doing jumps etc. I’ll hurt myself! I spend more time on general iff road riding though, tracks etc. I have considered hybrid but...
There would only be one month warranty.
I think there’s still the question for me of even if it’s a good deal, would a much cheaper bike be suitable. It’s not like I’m a hardcore mountain biker, I don’t need the best of the best. But I do want it to be decent quality and am often of the opinion...
Hi all. I’ve been reading loads on here but thought it was time to join in. Not least because I’m after all your expert advice😆
I currently have a Trek Marlin 7. I do some general rides, canal paths, trails and green and blue runs
I’ve just started looking at ebikes. I read you need to spend...
