Bonkers, the lot of you! :ROFLMAO:

Deffo should not wobble like that. Warranty claim, either against the bike supplier or against the LBS that did the service. Maybe they are one and the same!

Politeness pisses them off even more! :ROFLMAO:

Oh, you lucky boy! She's a keeper! :love:

That is a good indicator of "rough and steep" to come!

The retailer should accept your monthly credit card bill as proof of purchase. PS: I had some condensation on an e8000 screen (not as bad as yours) and I fixed it with a hairdryer.

100% agree. I just wish my wife was into bikes.

@CrispyDesigns The Alps will give you a new definition of what "rough" and "steep" are. Everybody will be wearing full face. When I was last there, even the kids looked like miniature Klingon warriors. They had a full-face helmet with full body armour as well! PS: I wear mine whenever I think I...

One of my warehouse managers went off sick for a week and when he returned, I went to see him and asked what the problem had been. He said it had been a kidney stone. He didn't say that it was painful, he just produced a small glass jar with the "stone" inside it. He said that it came down his...

Fun! :unsure: It takes all sorts. :)

@Utah Rider What is that car in pic No 2? It looks like an EV, so how does it perform in the cold weather that you guys get? :unsure:

A Shimano motor would not put me off because my two motors (e8000 and an EP8) have been faultless over 3100 miles and 2640 miles respectively. I sold the first bike at 3100 miles and I'm still running the second bike. Apart from not using a jet wash or even a hose, I have taken no special care...

@Mikerb I could do with some of those braces on my knee&shin guards!

Good to know. Is that your opinion or do have a source of the data?

I sure hope that Giant are reading this thread. Then maybe they would design a bike that didn't need all the work that you guys feel necessary. :)

Yey to all Captain Pugwash enthusiasts!! Seaman Stains? Master Bates? Roger the cabin boy?

@michael_bc I would add that once your wife gets used the bike and wants to do some steep descents, the conflict between her leg length and the size of the rear wheel may emerge for her. My first emtb was also my first 29er and my arse was being buzzed on a frequent basis. My second emtb was a...

I can see where you are coming from and I don't hold a particular brief for Shimano motors; I don't like their "non-repair" policy for example. But like many riders, I have had zero problems with Shimano motors. It is a puzzle to me why Speccy buyers continued to buy the bikes in droves, despite...

OMG! That is three more things to get grumpy about! :eek:

I have read many posts on here that have advised not to get an emtb hardtail. They don't ride quite as well as a full suss and many first purchasers soon have to undergo the expense of switching to a full suss. I have not ridden an emtb hardtail, so the only experience I am speaking from is that...
