First ride, first puncture and first blood...
We need details! all the gory bits.
Nothing serious, I live in the Lake District and can ride to Grizedale mtb centre... maybe I should have got used to the new bike first...
Tubes.TUbless or tubes?
I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the same colour. Can't wait. What do you think of the bike ?
It’s very good, geometry for me is quite aggressive but I’m 6’3”. Balance is good and the steering is very precise but watch for washing out in slippery tight corners. I’ve put one of my old SDG saddles on and changed the grips. I’ve ridden about 160k so far and a 41k round Windermere, which has about 1200ft of climb gave me an average of 130k range with the 625wh battery. The new motor is very smooth although I don’t have much to compare. Xt kit is fine and brakes are very good. Ride it for about 500km and take it in for a mini service or DIY.I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the same colour. Can't wait. What do you think of the bike ?
Presumably because he did not want permanently bleeding eyeballs...Why the red/black and not the lurid blue/green?
I ordered the powerfly 2019 but they didn’t have it in stock so offered me the rail for £3995 which was more than I budgeted but a very good deal. Try blazing bikes....Thanks for the info. How did you get it under 4K. I thought I did well getting 10% off the retail for a new bike where did you get yours ? My LBS offers a free service after 4 weeks or so. Can't wait. Hopefully it should land soon.

I had to let my Bronson go, she became an ornament on the garage wall. 2017 Bronson tricked out in all the hope jewelleries you can imagine. Over £6k spend.....gone for £2100 booo. Have fun on the trek she’s a beau.It’s very good, geometry for me is quite aggressive but I’m 6’3”.

I think my carbon Santa Cruz Bronson will stay indoors for the winter.
Good choice for the money. I paid just under £4K for mine.
I’m very happy going with the Rail. I on the other hand compared Levo S-Works with the Rail 9.9.
LBS was willing to offer a good deal on the Rail.
What sort of deal should I be looking for? I have a few bike shops near by, but the one I know sells Trek is Evans. Can’t imagine them ordering me one in and giving me 10% off... or is that a normal thing?
