    Haibike /Yamaha issues

    I rang the bike shop today to get an update and they had some good news for me. Raleigh the importers have a repair process that involves sending the offending piece back to be assessed and either fixed or replaced, it then has to be put back on the bike and hopefully it's then sorted.

    Hi from Hilly Gloucestershire

    Haha the frame is a medium, so small and better off road to climb over the bike etc when riding off road, the seat post goes right down for downhilling, the forks are slightly too short for the frame & from one of my other bikes just whilst I set things up.
