    section 3-4 i think it is, is closed and there is a bypass put in place. Makes for an interesting climb!

    Heart says Rail7, head says Merida e160 700…which way would you go

    The issue with this being if your the last to touch it, regardless of what was touched or what the actual fault is, In the eyes of the person who is getting the bad news your to blame. Its shite, but coming from a motor trade background the amount of people i hear of saying "since you touched...

    Experience of Rail 5 from exisiting owners

The rail 7 has shimano and im as you say alot of people are swearing by them as upgrades so i keep peeking at pinkbike to see if anyone is selling some...

    Experience of Rail 5 from exisiting owners

    I have had some brown trouser moments! I imagine if i weighed 4 stone less they might be alright! I put some uberbikes pads in and they were 100% better but still nowhere near as good as the standard brakes my mates rail 7 came with. I think ill be upgrading to Magura MT7 in the future!

    Experience of Rail 5 from exisiting owners

    Only thing i have done to mine is change out the tyres that came with it. and gone tubeless! So far the rest of it seems to work pretty fine and im a big lad! My first proper change will be the brakes because if im honest they are just shocking!
