I've got to be honest, the Megawatt and the Vitus were both on my list at one time and I just did not like the idea of cables through the headset, at all. I'm not knocking the Nukey, lovely bike but it was a bit of a deal breaker for me, plus for me to get the same standard of...
Good review - like you I had the Orbea Rise as top of the list as I'm a first timer, but didn't want to wait and decided on full fat in the end - your bike was one of my final 2 choices. In the end I plumped for the Marin Alpine E2 as one became available and it was cheaper. It sounds like they...
So I'm slowly getting used to the bike, started to feel a little flow for the first time yesterday - one thing I will say though, the bottle cage holder is deffo an afterthought. I've had to dremmel out the slots on the cage so I can move it further up the frame as the shock was hitting the...
That won't be around long - they are like hens teeth to get hold of. I almost bought off Winstanley bikes as they do 0% interest and were supposed to have stock in by the 29th - still no stock, so Alex does well to get any in at all. it was also important to me that I got the bike ASAP as I had...
How are you finding Alex at Dean Forest Rich? He has been great to deal with for me. Must have been frustrating to find the large not right for you. How long you got to wait for an XL?

One of the reviews I saw the tester had a large and two other female testers of 5'7" and 5'8" could also ride it ok.
Me personally I'm a titch at 5'9" and my medium feels spot on. I don't like feeling too stretched out on a bike but still like my weight slightly forward, this is perfect for...
Yes well aware and thanks for the concern mate, appreciated. Just out of shot is our 17 month old 9 st Rottweiler, best pikey deterrent I've ever had but yeah, out on the trails you have to Keep your wits about you and eyes open.
Never had to buy them before, noticed uberbike do a set.
I've had 'normal' pads off uberbike before and the quality was fine, no issues at all. Any one used em on here? More specifically for the SLX Shimano 4 pots (BR 7120).
Ta in advance and apologies if it's already been covered (Newbie).
It was at its worst. it had suddenely rained so i rushed all the garden cushions in out of the rain and dumped em on the floor. My dad had just bought the pressure washer back and dumped that too. It's normally much better than that. 😁
Mate - this is fantastic. Funnily enough I was thinking about you and that ride (and your knackered mech!) the other week when I finally decided I was going to take the step over to ebiking. Hey - guess what? your best mate Adam - been ebiking for a couple of years now 😁
I'm going to apologise...
Will do, first thoughts were 'wow! the weight!' but it's my first emtb so to be expected, I just hope it feels lighter on the trails, hopefully I can get out for a shake down run later today.
Tyres aren't what Marin spec on the bike (Assegai/HRII) due to Maxxis running out, so they specced Vee...
Cheers. I thought to myself 'I'm not paying 500 more for a bit of a paint job I don't really like' so started looking elsewhere - and ended up with something that was a grand more 🫣
