I got the 100% Aircraft MIPS carbon in XL. First full face for me, and it’s quite snug. Haven’t ridden it on a long ride yet, but I will find out if I get headaches from it. If I have an issue, I will probably go with the Fox Rampage Carbon in XXL. I got a 100% in a goggles combo, which brought...
Sarcasm warranted I guess. I have Emailed them again asking for the part directly, rather than asking for it in a warranty claim, which I previously did. The LeMere Cycles guy seemed to imply I needed to be a dealer like he was, so I wasn’t sure what to do. I don’t really have a Haibike dealer...
I need to replace a chainring spider, but Haibike don’t seem to offer the upgrade through a warranty claim. Now I was pointed to LaMere Cycles in Minneapolis, and they can order the part for me, but I will be paying fees for it to come here in the UK... which I don’t want to do.
Can anybody...
Bump. I didn’t get the Vitus in the end, partly because I missed the best deal, and partly because I found another bike on EBay. However, the bike on EBay was de-listed, so I am in the market again for another bike.
The Ghost Kato FS S6.7+ E-Bike 2018 is down to £3024 from £4800 for me. The...
Yeah trawling through news feed is a pain, as well as marketplace and notifications being bugged.
(Edit) Hmm, maybe they fixed the bugs: new layout on Facebook search I’ve noticed.
(2nd edit) Nope, marketplace still broken by not sending me to the new item (if it even exists). Notifications...
Hmm that cube is good, but I like the CRC 0% finance spread over two years via PayPal. Does anywhere else offer that kind of finance? It would cost me 75 quid a month for the Vitus, so I could make him pay... he earns 30 quid a week for going to school this year, leaving him 45 quid leftover...
Yeah I meant the VR... corrected.
The VR I can get for £1800 down from £2900 and the Cube £2700 from £4300. The cube looks like the winner there.
Specs for the cube:
Frame: HPA Ultralight, Advanced Hydroform, Triple Butted, ETC 4-Link, ATG, Boost 148mm, Tuned Drive Position, AXH
Fork: Fox...
He wanted pretty much the same bike as mine, but they are few and far between second hand, and I’m not spending £4500 on a new one. On my current budget, two new bikes have caught my eye:
There’s the Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 HPA 27.5 SL 500 EBike 2017, with a Bosch CX, which has a cheap fork the...
I am getting Crank Brothers Mallet DH race pedals, and was wondering what would be the best shoe to go with them for my E-bike. Any suggestions? I am asking here purely based on the fact that E-biking requires a lot of climbing, so an Enduro shoe may not be suitable, like for example the Shimano...
There’s locking skewers...
Insurance is a really good idea. One of my locks once registered gives £3000 cover on its own. With E bikes more is needed, so not so useful I guess.
The vast majority of theft nowadays is done with a motorcycle helmet and a van. I still disagree with the pessimistic view that all locks are useless, though.
But you are right: if you can take it into where you work, than all is good.
Abus Granit Extreme 59 is the best lock I am aware of.
Saw one go on EBay for a 100 quid.
The ABUS Granit X–Plus 540 is more affordable.
I think these D locks should fit, but if they don’t, you’d be looking at a chain... which aren’t as secure. But the Abus Granite Extreme Plus 59 is pretty...
Ha, I used to live near Evesham... village called Offenham.
Welcome to the forums, Dave. I remember walking up Malvern’s highest hill when I was a kid.
