Nice idea, but longevity will be an issue (more places for water to penetrate).
Just bought a replacement for my old cable dropper, £99 for a Fox 150mm, reduced for black friday at Wiggle:

Bargain :-)
go on a Demo day, you can then ride several bikes. Wheelbase do them, the last one I went to was Cannock (they also do them further North) one of the bikes I tried which was NOT my 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice was:
Merida eOne-Sixty.
loved it, setup/feel and ride was the best for me; will...
there is the division: practical v pretty!
As for spotting the wear, it was not possible as the worn part is hidden within the swing-arm tubes. Also, note the additional cable/pipe covering ends too soon, this is a manufacturers fault.
Manufacturers/designers are stupidly routing cables/wires/brake-pipes in the frame, and more recently via the head stock too. This pathetic behaviour is resulting in lots of issues for all of us: Search results for query: cable routing
My Turbo Kenevo comp has done just over 2k miles, the rear...
I quite understand and accept your reply: you have to support Giant if you sell/ride them.
Its the norm for lesser model owner/sellers to attempt to vitiate Specialized.
Nor am I! I agree with most of your other points too, lets hope a manufacturer is reading this...!?
Cables work best hanging loose just like your balls!
Not in the market for a new bike at the moment (just seeing where the sway is going), checked the stats:
"I'm buying one of each" = 28%
must be some dedicated riders on here to own both, or too much free cash!?
just one Giant used in our group. Poor quality compared to any other model in our group - Specialized/Trek/Vitus - I would never buy a Giant, I would never buy a ebike using a shimano motor again either.
WRONG: we do have a chinese ebike in the group. Now that is just crap, dont waste your...
as far as the motor is concerned you will find the shimano lacking in power, the specialized is far more superior IMHO - owned both.
I now ride a Specialized Turbo Kenevo Comp 2020 and it rarely fails on any uphill section (I take it on extreme climbs), great torque and power, smooth delivery...
as there is so little space on a fs bike I use this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393405281209?
works well for me - holds my steel bottle quite well even on the rough.
Photo on the listing shows a phone in the pocket, no space for that other than a medium cereal bar once my bottle is in.
OOOHhhh Jimbob, how cleverly sarcy you are!!! Sarcasm aside.... (would I have rang my bell behind the PCs? No)
THIS GETS MY GOAT! Not the PCs discussion, but negative reactions to riding on the pavement.
CARS are parked on most pavements today as there are TOO MANY CARS on our roads in the...
Oh no, don't cut that up! There is 177grams of snake skin you can use to make a few womens hand bags - these women will pay big bucks for them 🥰🥰🥰🥰😂😂😂😂
Last year I bought a Vitus e-Sommet full suspension mountain bike. It enabled me to enter into emtb'in with a decent bike at a low cost to check I was going to like and actually use it.
So did I use it? I did and still do at least 3 times a week, and now I have upgraded to a more expensive...
Specialized levo turbo comp carbon 2019
OR
Moustache Samedi 27 Race 8 Carbon 2019
I know Specialized warranty is transferrable, not sure about the Moustache.
Which one would you get and why?
52! What a nipper. No wonder you ride so well and make it look easy.
Mind you since about 50 I've noticed I don't bounce as well as I used to when I fall off 🥴
