Can't wait to get my Twist after cracking my second Orange frame

I got sucked in to the allmountain marketing and bought a Trail/Downcountry/Allmountain bike but still prefere to ride my bigger Enduro. So if anyone is interessted I'm selling a Norco Fluid A1 in Size S for 1'500$ with XT brakes and 165mm SLX cranks upgraded.

This articels with are a pain to read with the supscription popping up!

How can he ride without Kashima and LSC/HSC???

Interessting that he uses the saint brakehose with the longer banjo for better cooling on his xtr calipers. I did the same but went for the silver version. Why isn't he running the tacky chan tire?

So limited that you can buy them on r2-bike with 20% discount since two weeks

My hope bb lasted 1 Month which is about 10 rides. Love the 155mm crank and the headset seal well plus the crownrace is a blast to switch on different forks.

@mountainsofsussex: You can get a pair of dt-swiss 350 for 150$ and upgrade the ratchetring if xou want the nice sound.

I'm here to explain to you guys why this cable routing makes sense and why de industry does it! It's pretty simple and comes from e-bikes and e-bike rider that aren't educated on bikes, mechanics and repairs. They still do crash or put the e-bike in the back of the car and by doing so they pull on cables (wires) which damages the cables and makes them have interruptions with all sorts of issues. "I cant turn on my bike at the switch anymore but by the battery it works!" To sort this manufacturers did the internal thing so the cables to the front light, remote and display don't get damaged as easily. As a roady I love the aestetic of the cable free roadbikes. For example deda dcr-s or the ritchey x-night sl. On bikes like this it just looks bulky and ugly. I don't like it and don't want it on my personal bike but I can still understand why they do it.

I bought the Alloy Fluid A1 and it doesn't impress me. Let me know if someone is interessted in a size S for 2'000$
