Wow they really drop the price again, it was 7.2k last week, I do not really know well this website even if they deliver abroad.
That said, it is indeed be hard to resist!
Hmm, not sure this would be very good to have a longer stem but you could try.
Regarding the head set not sure either what you are looking for? The slash+ is using custom adjustable headset to be able to change a bit the geo, so nothing generic here (except the bearing I guess?).
You can find...
I think it depends on your style of riding and how playful you want the bike to be vs planted.
Major issue with the slash+ is that for dummy/commercial reason, they drop the ML size therefore their chart is kind of meh.
At 178cm I would take the M, on KSL I would take the S3 but sometimes the...
Crazy that he succeeds to sell the Husqvarna as since summer I can see them nearly free at 2-3k max.
I finally after 1 year on marketplace succeed to sell my bike, 6 months at 1.3k, 6 months at 1k, tons of offers at 600 or less bucks which I just refused - at that price better keeping it to me...
Useless to remove the chain from the bike to clean it. Never done it.
The only valid reason would be for people that wax melt it to it but this is not something you would do on a basis.
Degrease, brush, clean, dry, lube, ride.
Depends on the color scheme.
There is a trend with some brands that the paint is allowing you to see the carbon fiber, regardless of the color (could be black/raw, red etc). It is a style effect more than a defect.
Now if this is not a "feature" it is definitely a poor paint job as you should...
I do not think this is fair, we all hope the new Levo will be just better and lighter and it is possible.
I am curious about the LT Levo which should replace the Kenevo.
Let’s see also what (if) the new brose will do, not sure this will be great honestly. Belt has its charm, without I guess I...
It is a gamble honestly, some brand only guarantee first buyer, seller usually sell it too high to be fair.
I you can have a new one for 6k low-medium tier vs the 2 year used one but high tier spec, I do not think people will ever buy your bike, make no sense. Better take the new, send it and...
This is how brands are working today, forum, reddit…
It should not be better than direct contact but it is as they want to control image. It is damage control, brand fear snowball effect on reputation.
Had always better result through public mean but sometime brand they ask you to down/delete...
Definitely all brands have issues, the point is that some LBS are just better than other like in any kind of business.
Most of the LBS in my region only care about selling, the rest is a pain for them and honestly they struggle with it past the point of classic operations (bleed, derailleur)...
Interesting you say that, I cannot argue with what you say and your experience.
I wonder also, maybe I am wrong but as AL frame are cheaper, it tends to be used by younger people who send it harder than Dad/Grampa that can afford CF. Humor me, I might be wrong ...
I would really like also...
I would be surprised CF would be done in EU honestly.
A bike company near me is doing like Orbea, tons of color scheme etc, but they just get the frame from Asia and they are 100% clear on that. They design, paint, assemble that's it.
Maybe they have just good ones from all batch, maybe they fix it somehow?
I am still not reassured that it would not happen again past warranty where they do not have to honor anything anymore.
I could wait but not a full year, KSL2 is out from November 2023, I am not really sure we will soon something.
As for Slash+, I see with as a KSL with better battery and poppier yes - which I prefer but high pivot is not something I would like to have nor maintain.
If I want a high pivot I will...
I think that they display on their website all the parts you could have to buy in case of service, like a catalogue? I still find it interesting as you can browse the parts you might need to buy one day directly or through a LBS.
This is how sometime I prepare some stock :D but don't look at...
