Cube, yes, I know it’s in the Vitus section ( I ride a Vitus) but Wiggle are consistant !

The Mrs,s new bike came with a Euro charge lead.... no big issues Wiggle will replace it?.....no chance... they say it’s not their problem it’s the manufactures problem..... F F S ?

how does it ride, and what are you comparing it with ?

Out there yet?.... got a fancy for a VRS or VRX in December, have not seen any reviews ... anybody tried one or took the plunge? difficult decision as the Sommet is well proven, but I’m to old for all that travel....

As has been said, CRC can save you a load of cash, why not put the difference aside and keep it as an insurance in case minor warrant pay issues crop up. yes if you have a terninal failure cracked frame etc.... use the warranty, other stuff, sort it yourself or use lbs and take it on the...

where u based ?

The Escarpe looks an interesting bike, (wish they would show the geometry) but jeez what horrific (and dated) colour schemes. It really does put me off. The only decent colours are (IMO) are the lowest spec bikes, the white Escarpe and the Matt green Sommet. There marketing guys need a slap !

Is it not because people are trying to hide the fact they are on an e bike? Me I couldn’t give a monkeys, been riding / racing mtbs for 35 yrs, so I think I deserve a little help on the climbs. I also prefer external, easier to access, lighter ? , and I can swap them between bikes. Nice one Vitus ?

Appreciate that Gary, I tried a Merida last year and your right about the sizing, it felt short and cockpit was cramped and that was an Large. I can see from that alone the Vitus would be less twitchy / more stable DH sled. Have you tried 27.5 and 29” mixed wheel setup? In theory (like MX...

Was going to try out a 2019 Merida 190e tomorrow (25% price reduction, makes it about £4k)..... now I’m tempted to wait till these arrive.... got a Sentier at the moment so sticking with the external battery means a spare battery is available if needed.?the Escarpe looks neat with the 27.5 / 29”...

No probs, I have an XL Sentier hard tail, so I was going the same route Vitus, for an extra battery,

Afraid I need a large .....

What size frame ?

Hi, anyone have any feedback when / if the above will be back in stock?

Had the same, (and my mates) we changed to a 160mm disc and adaptor......sorted.

Cheers ? will keep them in mind if he breaks his pride and joy !

Don’t do it often ( thank god) but my last Ali welding was on 7000 grade , if I remember tight filler rod was 4036 ?, I use a company in Ashington, Northumberland ( can’t remember name of the top of my head) Heat treatment on Ali welding not so critical as carbon steels, and heat is very...

Agree on the catastrophic nature of carbon, my mates seat tube exploded on a down hill ( decent brand) sounded like a rifle being fired, and shards of sharp Carbon fibre ready to impale you! Interesting to here your slant on CF repairs, I thought it was difficult to repair... I get Ali repaired...

Although carbon (like for like) is much stronger than alloy, IMO, it’s major issue is if takes a impact ( sharp rock) it can crack whereas a malable alloy frame would dent... Still not ideal, but better than a scrapped frame.

Should be fun trying to get that to fit ???
