I cant comment on that particular model but I'm on my second Lapierre and cant really say a bad word about the brand.

Thank you, worth a try (y)

Quick question, can I simply remove the shock or will it explode in my hands as I'm removing it :eek::D

Thanks guys, I'll go down the professional help route I think. Its performing ok at the moment, just leaking a bit of oil but that will run out soon no doubt!

Do you think the Lapierre item is made by Rockshox?

Hi Guys, due to stupidity and letting the bike stand clamp scratch the shock tube, its leaking oil so presumably its toast and needs replacing. Now I'm a complete newbie on this subject. I realise that 230x60 is the size I need but see that generally they don't come with bushings fitted and I...

Update report: After a bit over 2 months and 400 miles, i really like the bike :) Flows through the woodland trails with no effort. A pleasure to ride, enjoying owning it! One little niggle at the moment, i've noticed a light tapping sound over bumps, which sounds like it's coming from the...

Been using the smart system now for 3 months and really like it. The ebike lock feature has worked without issue.

But if you exit the app on your phone the connection is lost and the motor wont unlock. You can still pedal it away though!

Whilst the trace on mine can be a few yards out, the app has been recording normally without the long spikes that I used to get before making the app to always on. The 1.26.9 update didn't change anything for me.

I'm trying to upload a video that I sent to paulscycles but it wont let me!. With the front brake on I was bouncing the forks and it was clonking. The bike (and me) got a proper test today while I was trying, unsuccessfully, to keep up with my son and his mate !!

I briefly researched this. I don't think any of them relay the speed correctly and also the Bosch smart system is very good at detecting the de-restrictors and shutting down. I decided not to proceed so I would be very careful. Make sure you look for one suitable for the Bosch smart system.

A little update. As I said earlier, the forks developed a knocking. Pauls Cycles diagnosed a faulty damper and paid me the carriage back to them. They sent them off to SRAM to repair under warranty which they duly did. The forks arrived back with me only 8 days after I sent them, so pretty...

It recorded todays foray with no issues!

Good question! I have phone in my pocket. I did a bit of googling and only discrepancy I had was that my phone location services was ticked only while using app. Yesterday I changed it to always allow. I did two rides and both recorded everything as normal. Going to try again later today...
