I have the thron speed with over 3000 miles on it Not much to go wrong Think I know who's bike you bought

I have the saris 3 and used to carry an optibike which was rather heavy, What car do you have ?

Always riding

So how much is the overvolt. Without sounding rude I think the geometry is better than the haibike :) And for extra points I have rode a trail with nicolas

Would be seriously annoyed if my local dealer said bike needs to go to Germany , why have a local dealer ? Warranty is the dealers responsibility or why buy from him . This is a 6k bike not a £500 cheapie Obviously not a dealer just a transit point to take the profit I buy japanese motor bikes...

Wow Who did you buy it from . I would suggest take it straight back

Do not get upset by a few mindless chimps I just think of all the extra cake I can eat after the ride. As with most abusive people , it's usually a lack of intelligence

Yes I agree with flecc , on average most cycle journeys are very un eventful , most cyclists ride at a very safe pace , so minimising any risk. As always each to their own , and would never impose my equipment choice on others. Skiing for me is different. As stated, I have skied off piste and...

Helmet debate will always be an issue . Had a met giro which connected with a tree stump with me in it. It saved all my teeth and possible head trauma . Split right in half but did its job . Until you have a fall and then think what if . Another incident on the road bike doing 35mph on a...

I use the cortex flow for downhill and trabec MIPS for general cross country , road . What I like is the lower back skull protection on the trabec. For snow, runs skull comp swedes , off piste I use the cortex flow. I did a few black runs , way above my expertise . The worst feeling ever was...
