If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy from in Germany?

You now have me thinking. :) After a quick Google and given the price difference between the two products. Is the Thudbuster worth the extra money over the Suntour product?

It also appears that the 400wh battery puts out 11ah compared to the 300wh battery which only puts out 8.2ah. According to the Bosch website, if I am reading it correctly, this gives an extra 30% in both energy and range. I must admit that be it road bike or off road bike, the higher spec...

Whilst on the subject of moaning, it would be nice if people took the time to read forum sub headings in order to find a suitable/correct place for topics. This thread, and the one moaning about the site update, both being a prime examples. Why clutter the forum with non relevant topics. It...

Emo, you are probably right. :) A religious routine of cleaning care and fork juice didn't prevent my Suntour forks from corroding badly after just a few months of fair weather use, so using the product on an entry level fork, was as you say an unnecessary expense. Sadly that was just down to...

Wipe the fork tubes with a damp cloth, paying particular attention to the seal area. After this compress and release the forks and wipe again. Once you have done this, repeat the procedure using a dry cloth/tissue. Cotton wool buds are also handy for wiping the seal area. Once you have done...

Sadly no scenery shots from this weekends exploits. I rode 18 miles yesterday on the road as I wanted to stay clean, but found it very difficult on a couple of occasions as I just wanted to nip off road to see where tracks lead to. Todays ride was completely the opposite. I met up with a lad...

As you say the forks don't even begin to compare. Why suffer with crap quality and an inferior off road ride. I'm now averaging 35 miles a week riding off road, so these will be an investment. :) They also don't take the best part of three months to source, and when they finally do arrive, are...

Certainly one of the most ugliest of bikes to date.

The older you get, the less that you like change. :D Thankfully it looks fine to me. ;)

I don't see why you have had a long wait to get it sorted though. The lock set with two keys is in their dealer handbook for 15 euros. At that kind of price, it shouldn't really have been expecting too much to have had this as stock item, or at least delivered from Spain within a few days...

Rather buying here in the UK, have you tried somewhere closer to home....EVO Bikes Electric Vehicle Oslo - Hjem Also if you have access to Face Book, there appears to be a couple of other dealers when using links via the BH FB page. If you follow the links, the shops appear to sell other...

Bin the ugly mudguards and you could be onto a winner.

The new ones are Rockshox Reba. RockShox Reba RL Solo Air Forks - Pushloc 2013 | Chain Reaction Cycles They are currently in their January sale.

Look what was waiting for me when I got home from work today. :) They are the best part of 600grams lightly than the crap from Suntour. I guess that the extra weight is from rust, water and swarf. Either that or the Suntour sales bull**** ended up inside the forks. Having said that, I'm sure...

Thanks Dave, there are five pins in the main threaded connector. That is exactly what I have done this morning. The console slides onto the bracket, and the slide section has also for some reason broken and is spreading the console/bracket apart. I hadn't realised this until today, and it...

Broken control console bracket. Obviously I'm going to speak to the dealer about ordering up a replacement item, but my question is... To save future expense and what will inevitably be a long wait should it break again, is there a generic replacement item? The main plug contains 5 pins and...

I'm not brave, just hate being indoors. :) I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out again tomorrow, as my console bracket has pretty much had it, and I'm constantly getting error codes all of the time because of it. I guess that I'll just get ripped off when I have to order the new one. The...

Thanks for that Martin, but I'll pass on that one as I hated the look of the frame. It looks as though it's been front/rear ended and pushed up into a heap. :(

I must be stupid! I couldn't hack being stuck indoors so popped out this afternoon for a 20mile ride in the rain. I rode the 7 miles into Tunbridge Wells to Wildside bikes, and tried out a Genesis Croix de Fer on a turbo trainer in the shop. I do love that bike, and I'm going back in next...
