Got my new bike delivered today.
A Mondraker Crafty RR. The Mondraker section seems a bit quiet here.
It is in my garage charging, and hopefully I’ll get out on it tomorrow for a wee spin.
Initial thoughts are;
Those 2.6 tyres are very wide. The Bosch display is massive, far too big and I wish it was blue tooth like the little controller to get rid of the twin cables. Which is another thought, will the bike run without it altogether? Anyway, I’ve arranged it so it sits on top bars rather than sticking out in front.
Bike feels big and heavy. Seat post took quite a shove to lower it an inch, felt as if it was hitting an obstruction. Pulled a bit of cable through and the dropper post seems to be working OK.
Strange spongy bit in front of the shock mount above the motor which I think will just end up soaking up mud and crap.
Overall the bike looks really nice, though I don’t like white lettering on the Mavic rims.
So hopefully will see if it rides OK tomorrow, then I’ll fit my lovely mudhuggers.
