I agree there too Tim. There were definately some pre-concieved notions going on before it left the shop. I agree on the brakes tho. The one i rode had the UK spec (i think) with Magura MT5's and the effort needed to pull them lended itself to hand fatigue but a simple fix really. My experience...
I would suggest forgetting about the numbers and angles and just ride it for what it is... the bottom line is how it rides and not what the angles on the spec-sheet says. I cant imagine how anyone can predict how a bike is going to handle/feel based on one figure of head angle. Its a combination...
Thank you very much Madonas. That is a really helpful email and the link to the chainring is a cool touch. My bike is limited to 25kmph and my road rides are mostly are only to get to the local woods about 15kms away so i definately wont need to go back to a 36t. The comment you made about the...
I rode one today for an hour and a half in The Golfie courtesy of Matthew and Neil in Tweed Valley bikes. It had been demo-ed in the morning and wasnt fully charged. I spent 3 hours on the mullet heckler (not the SL) in the morning and was impressed.... i was absolutely blown away by the Montera...
I broke one of the original carbon crank arms on a stump the 1st week i had it and the LBS said tough shit without even an attempt to talk to Giant about even a cost price/crash replacment! He offered to get me a pair of hope crank arms at full price which was decent of him so i got a pair of...
Hi guys, i saw on a clip where Danny McCaskill told Steve Jones that he was putting a 30t(i think) chainring on his SC Heckler, and he was working on theory that when the motor stops assisting at 25kmph then any more gears after that were really pointless. He said he would much rather have the...
Hi guys,
I bought an M20 Rise for my mrs and im struggling to set up the facility to use her Edge 520 as as a display. I have downloaded the RS Toolbox to the Garmin Connect on her phone and apparently it is supposed to end up on the Edge after Syncing with her phone but i cant find it. It...
Mornin guys,
I bought a Kona 160 which is just super but I am having trouble connecting the Steps system by BT to my Samsung S8. After many many attempts it connected once to it but it won't connect to it now. It finds it but it won't recognise the 000000 password. I saw where some people...
Thanks for the comments guys, i decided to pull the trigger on one and it has arrived with the LBS. Vigorously trying to gather up the money now. Have taken the "loctite" advice on board.
Cheers
David.
hi guys, I bought a wee jam 2 ltd for my mrs used and it has developed a tiny slip when the motor starts to assist. As I freewheel along and start to pedal there is a little clunk (more of a feeling than a noise) as the motor kicks in and then its fine as I pedal assisted but it is there every...
