    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    I got mine in August and have used a lot to commute on, it started cutting out within the first couple of days of owning it and has been back 3 times for "repairs". I persevered because I got it cheap on Cyclescheme and couldn't afford to upgrade. I am definitely past the "refund status" window...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Just an update, my bike cut out again after Cycle Republic replaced the display mount, and I complained and got them to check it out at the 6 week service 2 days ago. They replace the actual display unit this time... Cut out 4 times in a row this morning on my first commute! The battery button...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    If you've just got it ,the odometer and trip may well read the same, foxed me at first, and the "i" and "-" only resets when you've selected the trip?

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Really helpful to hear your experience 2500 miles on, thanks. I commute 32 miles a day but only twice a week so I could expect to hit 2500 miles and possibly new battery territory in a little over 1 year, not 2 years as expected. Battery life is great at the moment, hitting nearly 60 miles in...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Exactly that! Crossfire costing me around £600 and a Crossfuse would have been double the price. If I'd had more money I might have gone to one of the independents or gone for a more upmarket brand like Cube or Giant instead anyway. Also, I think the offer might have finished and its back up...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Hi, I also had to adjust my gears which were never right, and one of the spoke guard fasteners has snapped making an alarming sound from the rear wheel. Worth checking to see if yours has done the same thing ? I cable tied mine and temporarily fixed it so I can keep commuting, but I am going to...

    Hello everyone

    Thanks for the welcoming and helpful responses everyone, I took my Crossfire-E back to Cycle Republic last week and I mentioned these issues were well known, which of course, they didn't agree with. They were however, friendly and helpful and seemed confident that replacing the display bracket...

    Hello everyone

    Thanks Nealh Funny you should say that... I've had it less than a week and had 2 cut outs already and one today on only my 2nd commute. I saw the mixed reviews but just hoped it had been fixed by now on newer models. Its going back to Cycle Revolution next week for inspection/fixing but...

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Picked my crossfire-e up last Friday from Cycle Revolution, covered about 100 miles, and I am really pleased with it, except... 2 cut-outs already! (shutdowns, no error code or anything) One with the first 5 minutes of a journey through a town, the 2nd one 40mins/10 miles in. In both cases...

    Hello everyone

    Hello everyone, I have just changed from a Carrera Vanquish (disc) road bike to a Carrera Crossfire-E for my 17 mile commute (each way). I have used a Cycle To Work scheme (Cyclescheme) to fund it and wanted to stay in the £1000 limit which didn't leave many options. I am mid forties and...
