May 26, 20178 yr It's become considerably heavier and still have to fashion a way to fit the fly6 on the back, but quite pleased so far. Test ride later.. now I have decent tyres on a ride on the canal side will be a bonus if it's not too bumpy. Don't you think that a suspension seat post would be a valuable addition?
May 26, 20178 yr Author Don't you think that a suspension seat post would be a valuable addition? Well, yes and no! At present I am recycling all my 2 bike bits on to one bike and at the rear end I need the rear facing radar, fly6 camera and an extra light. So with the cam mounted on the seat post it focuses on the panniers so cars are a bit blurred and the radar needs to be up bear the saddle or it doesn't work.

May 26, 20178 yr Author It maybe still a possibility as it's only the top 2" that moves. Quite a shopping list you have there. I have most of what i need. Just recycling them. Cycliq don't make a rack bracket so I had one 3d printed .. but the new fly 6 is different (old one stolen) and I don't know how it will take modifications... have bodged for now while I try drilling the old one. Do you have a link for the seat post you bought?
May 26, 20178 yr It seems that the price has gone up by £20 since I bought it. It takes the harshness out of the ride and if your not happy with it Wiggle refunds with no problems.

But whatever you decide I don't think you will be sorry that you bought a suspension seat post.

The NCX also gets great revues which I endorse, my lower back doesn't have eyes and so it lives very well with the look of it
May 26, 20178 yr Author Just done an important test ride.. to chippy and beer shop for 4 cans of lager and fish and chips twice.. Am now fed, watered and happy,.
May 30, 20178 yr Author In preparation for selling I have contacted Scott with regard to transferring the warranty..... Apparently this is not allowed as the warranty is for the original purchaser only..
May 30, 20178 yr if you have a motor problem a dealer can send the motor off for warranty replacement if within the 2 years warranty. when i broke my xd hub i just sent it back to crank brothers and got a replacement.

May 30, 20178 yr i doubt any uk dealer will do it tbh not that it cost them anything anyway just shows you what there like.
July 6, 20178 yr Author Just as an update. I think I must have got a bit bored with this bike but strangely having been off it for a few weeks, now I can't leave it alone! The giant is now parked up unused so what's going on?
