Getting worried now!

[Tubby G]

Looks nice ? I have just ordered an invisiframe for my Rail 9 (with 10% off) which as been on order since October hopefully its coming within the month ?

Jeez I remember you saying you had a Rail 9 on order when I first joined this forum back in December. Haven’t you got that yet !! I’m on my second bike already and have covered over 1500 miles between them. I’m sure your Rail 9 will be worth the wait!

 

[Pistolpete]

You’ll have to advise on how the invisiframe fitment goes, whilst I’m sure I’m not alone in my curiosity!

I’ve just downsized my hard tail tyres as it’s looking like I’ll be on it for a while, now rides like an eeb….
Maxiss 2.3 SS on rear & 2.4 High roller up front
Fortunately I’ve a gravel bike too!
Very unsettled with my wait, keep thinking of pulling out, I’ll have to coin toss my decision

I had 2 choices one was the hibike originally buti liked the cube 160 as well.just missed out on the last one at the bike shop at Durham, purely by chance I saw the hibike at pure electric at gateshead metro centre,just lucky I guess!

They are so hard to get hold of, Hopefully it will arrive within the month.

Just had a heads up from my local bike shop, it looks like its going to be a week on Thursday before I can get the Invisiframe kit on my bike.he very busy.

You sir have the patience of a saint, taking delivery of your bike and then waiting another few weeks for the Invisiframe before riding it!

 

[Pistolpete]

Well it cost a bit so I might as well have it protected,thats my way of thinking!

 

[Pistolpete]

I'm hoping to get out on the trails as soon as its done.it has been a bit frustrating waiting but its a matt grey finish and it will easily mark without protection on it.

 

[Snrbrtsn]

Well I cancelled!
Went Round local shops, looked and Levo & SL Levo
Pick up tomorrow, should invisiframe but impatient - Ill buy a kit and DIY next month, cleaned up the Hard tail for sale and surprised how little enjoyment marks there are!
Spent morning getting sicomtb guards & clear skin tyres
Excitment is back on!

Can’t see how it’s possible, that you haven’t turned a wheel

 

[Pistolpete]

All done at long last ,I'm out tomorrow!

 

[Pistolpete]

As promised pics of the Invisiframe kit on my almtn4,cost alot but with the bike being matt grey it would have marked up easily.

Its all done, went out for a steady first ride this morning, well pleased .heres some pictures of the bike Invisiframed.

 

[Snrbrtsn]

Wow! That looks stunning
Really makes the colour pop brings out the contrast with a satin sheen
That’s you well covered! Hope you enjoy

 

[Pistolpete]

I am lol!

 

[Tubby G]

Glad you’ve finally got to sit on the saddle and turn those pedals! Have fun

Yeah I just went up my local walkway to bed the brakes in and to see if anything needed altering,I did 15miles and the battery hasn't budged, well chuffed!.ps do you know what this is for,it came with the bike.

Looks like a bottle opener combined with an allen key for your axles perhaps

Could be,il put it on a separate post in the hibike section and see if anyone can identify what it's for.

That’s exactly what it is, a 6mm Allen key & bottle opener

Haha,I was thinking it was a special key that locked something up,ie chain crank lol.cheers for that!.

 

[Snrbrtsn]

I was going to suggest those Germans think of everything
I’m guessing after a long ride, you’d place it on the swing arm bolts, the torque required to open a bottle, leftie loosie righty righty may leave you with sufficiently torqued bolts - no need to spend on a torque wrench!

Watch that invisiframe

Its hard at the minute trying to sorce the bike you want plus I wanted to order from a shop , not off the net just in case there was anything wrong or a warranty issue came up. Hopefully you'll get sorted.

I pulled out & enjoyed four charge cycles picked up on Wednesday last week from LBS
It’s been through the puddles and local trails & used on road, still trying to get it dialled in

Played with it last night, made it worse, removed the front guard and bottle cage!
Loving it!
