Don't knock the article I'm part of it !!! (The fat bird at the bottom). Does it matter how much the bike costs if it serves a purpose and does something good.
I'm 55, female, never ridden MTB (only happy shoppers when young),until 5 years ago, got first e-mtb in 2016, now on second couldn't give it up for love nor money, will ride till I die.
Hubby 50 same as above, nagged me for years to just get a bike wouldn't look back. Live in Shropshire but...
I don't see it as a problem as of such as it's a wearable part and we have the 2018 model. As far as I'm concerned they built a new bike to the best of their ability and it's all trail and error. It's just like when you car has had a dink and it's in need of repair it's an inconvenience for you...
Hubby's just replaced his too, same problem as Clansey and yourself jpaulo. IGUS bushes seem to be better. This has got to be a problem, I wonder if Canyon would like to hear about it or not? We've bought spare in case mine go as well.
On a more serious note though, I always say thank you to walkers, horse riders, other cyclists, but it does annoy me when they are rude back after saying thank you.
The worst are those that walk across the designated cycle path and then tut at you because you've either rung your bell and said...
Tried both, prefer flats.
I do use clips, in the summer on my commuter (which is my haibike allmnt sduro rc), but that's because it's warmer and less wet and I've got shoes that need wearing and that I'm a women who just needs more shoes....!!!;)
I have a bell on my commuter bike, and a foghorn for a voice if needed, never had a problem and I'm just a wee old women !!! It's blo@dy sheep I have an issue with now they just don't get out the way.
All in all and on a more serious note just courtesy , being polite and friendly always goes a...
I love my 3/4 and full length women's Endura's and the only tops I love to wear are cheap and cheerful wicking, walking tops form mountain warehouse.
The best top I've got is from GMBN (long sleeved, Orange/pink camo naturally as us ladies sometimes need to do pink). I've been through thorny...
Asking the question in the first place is going to cause people to comment no matter what so all of us have got to respect each others opinions. My opinion is no different to some one else's, I choose to wear a lid no matter what type of riding I do, I had no choice when I rode horses and motor...
I'm a nurse and really you don't want to see any part of not wearing a helmet, brains spilling out ain't nice at all, feeding brain injured people isn't nice either, via a tube in their tummies and then providing suction through a tracheostomy site in their neck, unable to talk, walk or do...
Anyone seen the inner tubes at £1.99, not the best, but not the worst, that's if you still use them.... Hubby uses them on the haibike which ad turned into a runaround bike.....me, well I prefer tubeless. They are heavy but puncture resistant, he's gonna give them a go.
