First Look: The Orbea Urrun is a Long Range Electric Hardtail
After seeing the quality problems and technical issues with my friends Orbea Wild FS (replaced the motor, controller, frame [cracked], fork [blown cartridge], rear triangle [cracked in 3 places] and rear wheel [spokes snapped on first ride], his warranty has expired and he's only been able to ride it for 4 months out of the 2 years he's owned it) then I'm really beginning to get the impression that Orbea are just a company that takes the piss. Steer well clear of them, popular brand in my area and they are plagued with issues from the Oiz to the Wild FS and they deny every one of them.

Industry Digest: Tektro Electronic Shifting, Battery Recycling, Stem Lawsuits & More
@homerjm: As a Brit living in Spain for nearly 20 years I can tell you that your story is BS, I got mugged by a group of 7 youths at an ATM a couple of years after moving here and got my head kicked in to the point that I couldn't even open my mouth to eat, I was refused treatment at a hospital until I produced the cash to pay for it due to not having la tarjeta de seguridad social at that moment and even though the youths had been identified by witnesses who knew who they were the Guardia Civil refused to do anything about it, Spain is not a nice country and the social security system here is utter shit.

Giant Anthem Advanced Pro 1 (Pro 2 frame)

$3100 EUR
Virtually brand new bike, ridden only a few times and selling due needing surgery for a broken ligament in my arm from a bike accident 2 years ago which I've been told isn't going to happen for another year at least due to covid, bought this to do km on it and I can't, most I have managed in one ride is 30km before my arm starts bothering me to the point where I have to ride one handed, haven't done any trails on it and the closest it's been to off road is fire roads here in Spain. It's an Advanced Pro 2 frame with Advanced Pro 1 spec, the only difference is the colour, the bike will be sold stock with all original components which haven't even been used, the day I got it I fitted my own bar, chainring, saddle, seatpost and stem, changed the brake discs and the tires after the first ride so the originals are 1 ride old and have only done road km. This is an absolute bargain for anyone looking for a brand new XC bike. The advert is wrong for shock length as Pinkbike has no option for 90mm rear travel. This bike is an absolute rocket and it's crazy light, by swapping the bars, seatpost and saddle you can take nearly half a kilo off it, I'm reluctant to get rid of it but it's just going to sit gathering dust. Shipping will be done at the buyers expense and Paypal fees will have to be covered by the buyer or they can do a bank transfer to avoid the fees, whichever they choose. Bike was bought in January this year. Spec is as follows: Fork Fox 32 Performance Elite SC remote Shock Fox Performance Elite remote Drivetrain all Shimano XT apart from cassette which is SLX Wheels are Giant Carbon 25mm internal rims with DT swiss/Giant hubs Brakes are Shimano SLX Saddle, seatpost, bar, grips and stem are all Giant, seatpost is carbon. Tyres are Maxxis Rekon race, if you want I can leave the Onza Svelt skinwalls on it but the back one picked up a nail on my first ride and has a plug in it, doesn't leak.

Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 200x57

$250 EUR
Same as the fork I have advertised, fitted to my Giant Trance to try the famed 160mm conversion and made bike feel like crap so was taken off shortly after, not done many km at all and in perfect working order.

Rockshok Pike RCT3 27,5 BOOST 160mm

$350 EUR
Pike in good working order, fitted it to my Giant Trance 27,5 after reading about loads of people that had done the 160mm conversion but didn't like it, bike felt like a dog and handled like a fat slapper after 10 pints of snakebite so you can be assured that all the people that were talking on the 160mm Trance conversion pages a few years back were talking out of their arse, it's hardly been used and I gave it a bath oil change after I swiftly took it off my bike, also got a Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 M/M tune to go with it in 200x57 if anyone is interested. Will post but you'll have to pay it and if you pay by Paypal you'll have to cover the fees.

First Look: Saracen Goes Direct & Launches 5 Brand New Bikes
Good luck with warranty on a bike now, Saracen refused to warranty mine through them directly and won't let the shop warranty through them either as they no longer have access to any of the warranty services so I'm stuck with a bike that's less than 2 years old and the warranty can't fix my problem. Saracen are to be avoided, I think SCUM is the right word.

I wish every ride was as bullshit as that.
