@RustyMTB another example for you

Sure, heres more than two

You're arguing against a point I never made lol I didn't say Orbea make bad bikes, unless this is your own insecurities surfacing if you own an Orbea yourself? I said seeing multiple examples of poor warranty experiences makes me less inclined to spend 7-10k on one. You dismiss everything as...

Never thought I'd see classism on an emtb forum LOL, to be expected from a shandy drinker though I guess ey? I'm just relaying a friends experience. If you can read outside the box their approach to warranty isn't just on frame bearings. Crack a seatstay? good luck. There's a bloke on youtube...

Yeah you gotta remember it's a forum, some people on here likely spend more time on here than they do actually riding their bike. Part and parcel.

Aye, same questions came up when they told him he had to wait 3 months. If you're out of warranty, crack on. If you're in warranty and want to stay within warranty then you're at the mercy of Orbea's supply chain

Santa Cruz. I've a mate who has the wild, needed new frame bearings and had to wait 3 months till the LBS could get them in stock. Teewing, chinese, warranty, support etc. Santa Cruz have a good dealer network and lifetime frame bearing replacements.

Yeah i had this on my gen 5, used some black RTV silicone gasket maker to stick it back on because its flexible, vibration resistant, waterpoof stuff and is sticky enough without going brittle

Oooo thats a bugger, I assume somewhere out there you can probably find a shock with the trunnion at the opposite end to the piggy back but alas I've never seen one. Remote resevoir would work too but not seen many of those for MTB either...

could you not flip the shock orientation assuming standard/standard eyelets? or is it standard/trunnion?

Actually your post rattled a memory from my early teens circa 2003, big bunch of us all school mates went out on a big bike ride one summer and on the way back we got lost and ended up having to cut through a bunch of farmers fields one of them full of cows. About 9 of us riding through this...

What year is your enduro? Honestly you should take it for a spin down some trails if you've not rode it for a while, the muscle memory doesn't go but its hilarious, my 2016 650b one feels like a BMX in comparison to my eeb

Not sure what you've heard about the Performance 2.0 Upgrade but ebikes are limited to 15.5mph in the UK because it's a law, not a motor manufacturer/update decision. Even if you found a way of running 2x 800wh batteries and Bosch released a 300nm 1500w peak power update you'd still lose all...

Unpopular opinions? Haven't contributed to this for a while but go on then... Buying a 150/160/170mm/180mm trail or enduro emtb and proceeding to only ride fireroads, bridleways, access paths and blue trails then posting your Strava stats to riders/bike owners facebook group with 30 miles...

FWIW not sure which one you went with, but I was eying up the Mondrakers too. I never got chance to test ride one before I got my Kado but have had a ride of once since then. They ride pretty much the same generally speaking no night and day differences, only noticeable characteristics is the...
