Thanks for the replies guys. Much appreciated. Steve, that BYK tape looks the perfect alternative if I decide not to buy the ride wrap kit. Thank you. I'll probably buy some regardless to put on my old cherished 26 inch bike or just to have some in stock for an occasion it's needed.
I'll...
Does anyone have any links to any they've used and would recommend please?
After years of being on EMTB Forums I finally got around to getting myself a new bike and it's not even an EMTB. Picked myself up a Polygon Siskiu T8 for a good deal.
I want to get some frame protection tape on it and...
I should make it clear in case he has an NDA with Shimano and his own video coming out later, it wasn't one of Rob's videos that I had a notification about. it was from a well known different emtb YouTube channel.
To add fuel to the fire, I think a new motor announcement of some sort is imminent from Shimano (probably the EP6), as I just noticed a YouTube notification on my phone that I'd received at 12:01 with a headline saying about an announcement for a new geared Shimano motor. When I clicked the...
Hi all,
Anyone got any recommendations or opinions good or bad on the bike torque wrenches on the market from the likes of Amazon or chainreaction/wiggle?
Any you guys have and would vouch for?
Any you've had and think should be avoided?
Example 1
Example 2
Cheers all for any replies.
Adam.
This has definitely made it onto my short list. Loved the previous Sam² when I test rode one at a Rutland's demo day and was tempted to buy, but the internal battery and me not having electricity where it would be being stored killed the chances of it.
Think I would easily rather run it in...
Hi,
What kind of communication (if any) were you getting between the time your bike was picked up and when it was returned to you? Other than the sarcastic Twitter tours
replies. Any examples of these by the way?
Certainly finding myself no longer wanting to buy from them at all.
Hi, I'm 5'5" (5'6" on a good day).
Have tried the 2019 Levo in both small and medium at a demo day last year.
I definitely felt much more comfortable and confident on the small.
On other bikes I've tested I've come to the conclusion that I like my reach around the 435mm mark, this is what the...
I was about to mention the demo day with Rockinbikes that's coming up in April but it sounds like you're already aware of that. They have a Scott and Santa Cruz day on the 4th of April too.
Now those and the other discounted models are tempting. I'd need a small or medium though. Can only see mediums available and would ideally like to ride the 2 sizes to get a feel of which I'd prefer. That's the unfortunate thing about direct to consumer brands :(
That's just reminded me, About CRC, anyone know if they offer the same 30 day bike trial service that wiggle do? Can't see it anywhere on the site, so I suspect not.
Also anyone used Quidco with CRC? Says they give 4% cash back. Not sure how that would track if using PayPal 0% credit option.
Personally I'm still searching for the right emtb to buy myself and the current 14% off offer is really tempting me back towards the E-Sommet VRS or VRX.
The 2019 VR was top of my list last year but they went out of stock when I was about to buy. In the time between that and the 2020 versions...
Hi all,
I'm still a little on the fence so I'd love to hear your experiences of being a Vitus owner, if you've had any issues with the bike or dealing with CRC/wiggle, and if you had the money to spend again, would you still buy the same from them or go for something else elsewhere?
Cheers.
Congrats on the bike. From everything I've heard about them, I'm sure you'll love it. I was all set to buy one earlier this year, and then the 2019 vanished from the wiggle site. Only thing that's holding me back now is all the reports of e8000 motor issues that have been popping up since then ...
Cheers again guys, plenty of info here to pass onto my brother.
I did just think of something I'd forgotten to ask though, although my nephew has had a smaller bike he never got around to learning to ride it properly yet, so he'll still need stabilisers at least for a brief while.
I've seen a...
Oops, forgot to add the link to the 2020 Vitus and the fact that I meant from Wiggle when I replied at work.

Awesome, cheers guys, I'll have a proper read of these responses later when I'm not at work.
I had actually already considered the 2020 Vitus with 15% off code at the moment.
And using that as a way for me to help get to the £500 loyalty discount target and then buy the vitus e sommet vrs...
