Impressively, Bikester.fr have already refunded my bike shop motor bolt check payment ! Only sent the mail last night !!
Merd !coil shock from rcz was a really special and bottom of the shaft was too fat to fit into the frame. ;D
Yep, Rcz coil has this shaft: RockShox Rear Shock Damper Shaft Assembly Super Deluxe Coil Bearing Shaft EyeletMerd !
The stock shock seems to work pretty well on this setup if you get it set correctly... Might be worth playing with.
To give a little follow up on this, I received a reply from RCZ. The officially do not ship to the USA.Does any one know it RCZ ships to the USA? I can't find any info and every time I try to purchase something it only gives me 3 country choices.
Unfortunate. I was looking forwards to hear how it rode. It looks good !!View attachment 126729
Bad luck today
Wanted to try out the new shock but the chain broke on the half way up the hill. The way down, I tried a little bit riding chainless.
Need more rides to correctly set up the shock.
I didn’t get 250 miles out of the 11 speed KMC chain that came on my bike. I’ve got right at 600 miles on the shimano that replaced it and it’s still going strong.I think the KMC chain might be junk.
10,11 or 12 will all work. The spacings are all the same, just the plates are thinner. I think the 11s works better than the 10s as there's a tiny bit more space - but that could just be subjective.I cannot remember If I had a ghost shift before the chain broke or not.
The shifter cable definitley needs to be changed or I will see some aluminium soon.
10 or 11 Speed SRAM or Shimano chains will work both?
Interesting that the Vitus US site is not showing the same prices as CRC. It's all the same company, which apparently is not doing that well lately.Looks like CRC are dropping the price significantly too!!
Very very tempted by the VRX, instead of paying £900+ for the Whyte e160S MX I was looking at.
Thoughts??
Stock update:
- Some VRX due to arrive next week
- VRS due w/c 16th October
- VR due w/c 23rd October
....neither of which are close in terms of spec and both have Shimano motors....!After a bit of looking around would anyone suggest either of these as good alternatives (that are actually in stock) for a similar price?
Starting to think a good marketing ploy from Vitus to build demand and then not put any back in stock until the 30% offer ends....

Sounds very much like it knowing the financial troubles Vitus' parent company has been having. How will this impact the bike manufacturer or Vitus customers in the long run remains to be seen.Starting to think a good marketing ploy from Vitus to build demand and then not put any back in stock until the 30% offer ends....
It would raise potential warranty concerns with me... and with Nukeproof.Sounds very much like it knowing the financial troubles Vitus' parent company has been having. How will this impact the bike manufacturer or Vitus customers in the long run remains to be seen.
If on the market to purchase a new bike, I would probably look into other brand alternatives at this time.
Signa Sports United says loss of equity commitment is 'unjustified'
BERLIN (BRAIN) — E-commerce giant Signa Sports United says it is taking legal steps after a holding company terminated a 150 million euro equity commitment. The company — which owns the Nukeproof and Vitus bike brands as well as several bike e-commerce retailers and a wholesale business —...www.bicycleretailer.com
If they agree to take on the warranty responsibility! The accountant doing the liquidation will not give two fucks for ex-customers, his/her remit is solely to maximise revenue for the creditors, who also will not give two fucks for the ex-customers. The buyer will offer less money for the business if they also have to take on the unknown loss of warranty claims.I am more optimistic
Even if Signal Sports United goes bankrupt, there is a good chance that Vitus and Nukeproof will be sold to someone else and there will be someone for warranty to contact.
VRX ordered.Looks like they are back in stock now:
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered the VR model.Looks like they are back in stock now:
