It finally happened. The trusty old Decoy finally gave up after 5500km of more or less trouble free operation. Approx. 8 months out of warranty, I expected a large repair bill. Lucky for me, I took it down to my local-ish Shimano Centre and they got in touch with Madison (UK Shimano disty) and...
Hi all, I've just become the proud owner of an E-180S. Previously had a YT Decoy and I'm just getting used to the mechanical differences between the two bikes. A question I had, on this 2023 model E-180S; there are two small hex bolts on the underside of the downtube quite close to the headset...

Problems I've had:

Hi all, just joined the forums so thought I'd do an intro. Dipped in and out of MTB since I was a kid, but took it up seriously just over a year ago. Had a Vitus Nucleus hard-tail first and then began looking for a full sus. I figured if I was going to spend thousands of pounds on a bike I...
