Thanks for the response. Are D Locks big enough to lock the bike to an object, or are they mainly used to look the frame and wheel together?

recently bought an XDuro. Love the bike but the saddle is not too comfy. What nice comfy saddle do people recommend for a slightly overweight 40 something with a bad back? Is it worth buying a Brooks? And if so which one? Cheers peeps

Blimey...we're currently storing our new bikes in the spare room, but I never thought about liking them. To be honest I only have a cheap lock when leaving at work, although we are in a fairly low crime area and the bikes are out of sight. Which locks, chain or D, do people recommend, that's...

I thought about it, but only just bought my bike and it looked little or an event for those looking to buy. I wonder if there are accessories trade stands, or things going on for those with bikes already?

The shop I bought my bike from said that internal components were upgraded on motors that were being sold to countries with less strict or bow speed restriction. They had one customer that bought a bosh crank driven motor who restricted it. The motor failed within 3 weeks and Bosch refused to...

Good point well put. I guess there's no comeback on second hand bikes sold privately. Cheers all

The 2015 bike is reportedly sold, so that's the decision made

I was wondering how it would affect the recorded mileage. Both bikes are being sold privately. They both look to be in very good condition. The 2016 SL was used for commuting, so may have ridden in the wet. But it has just been serviced, including a new chain.

This does seem very harsh. I have no experience of bikes, just ass Mrs it was the same as a car and that the manufacturers warranty was good until the end of the period, regardless of ownership. Lots of adverts refer to remainder of warranty. I guess we have a get out clause if we change our...

I'm surprised if Haibike can extinguish all statutory liability on a 6 month old bike, regardless of change of ownership. But I will bow to superior knowledge.

Are you sure? According to the website the statutory warranty is for 2 years on the entire bike. However, it does say that the additional frame warranty of 5 years is only available to the original purchaser.

were looking at getting a second bike for my wife and have 2 options available; either a 2016 SDuro Hardseven SL with 1600 miles, or an 2015 RC with only 300 miles. The 2015 model is around £300 more, and has been unrestricted by relocating the speed sensor, so presumably avoiding any...

Presumably this is much less sophisticated as well? I understand that it is illegal, but wondered why buy a dongle if this is essentially doing the same.

apologies if this has been done to death, but I was looking at a used Haibike SDuro which had been derestricted by relocating the speed sensor to the crank. I know you can get dongles to derestric the motor, but not this, presumably cheaper, mod. Would this be detectable for warranty purposes?

Might just do that...if I can find a good 2nd hand one
