Im skeptical that many of these 'discounted' ebikes are made up with inflated prices that they then generously discount.

Just read a thread on another forum of a chap who bought a discounted bike(a Spesh) reduced from nearly £8k to nearly £4k.

Fox 36 rhythm, spesh branded wheels, mid range brakes, on an 8k bike. Pull the other one...
Admittedly carbon frame, but still, there are other makers with carbon that sell for a lot less and thats without any discount
:cautious:
The cheapest Spesh in the US that's carbon with a Fox 36 rhythm is still 8k on discount....


But for $300 more you can get a banger of a bike....

I've bought several things that were Nukeproof's Horizon line and been very pleased with them all.

Yes and strangely the Horizon carbon bars appear to have gone up in price! They were £89 list price not long ago and usually on offer for around 20% off. Now listed at £109 🤔

Zeb Ultimate Charger 2.1 RC2 27.5 Inch Boost 38mm Offset Debonair Fork - Black or grey £539.10 with code DEAL


The above were the other forks I'd been thinking of for my 2019 Kenevo but was put off by the 38mm offset compared to the 44mm offset my bike and many others come with. Reading online though it seems I probably wouldn't notice the sightly shorter offset anyway - any thoughts?

Anyway as I've always fancied trying to mullet my Kenevo I went for the 29 Fox 38 factory forks posted above and if I don't like them I figured they should keep their value better as they are more in demand second hand :unsure:

Its even cheaper here at Sigma sports, though limited size. £6k
Talk is Sigma are facing administration, so maybe if you buy from them, on the credit card would be the sensible route.

Agreed, there's a very good chance you won't notice the offset difference.

The 29er forks will lift your front compared to the 27.5 forks though due to the longer lowers - I think th ex-wing Kenevo will handle that fine though/improve things.

Yes I'm aware the 29" will lift the front and from what you and others have said it should enhance things. Having the 29" 38s will also be more future proof for other bikes I might have (y)

Links worked yesterday. I ordered Float X from there, that link seems to work still.

EDIT. I actually wonder if SRAM asked to remove their stuff from the discounts. I dont think all of them would be sold out at the same time.
Cheers for this. Grabbed a Float X for £263 including import duty/ delivery.

That's less than people are trying to sell them second hand on Ebay!

I highly doubt they are genuine Shimano stuff on Aliexpresss :unsure:
So much fake stuff out there. Bought a ProLogo road saddle from Amazon, turned out to be fake. You should have seen the look on the Italian rep's face when I handed it to him at Sea Otter...

At least I got my money back. I gave it to the ProLogo rep, I didn't want it out in the wild where it could hurt someone.
