Review: The Orbea Wild M-LTD Raises the Bar for eMTB
@hornedreaper33: judging by how bad the paint looked I would think that’s highly possible.

Review: The Orbea Wild M-LTD Raises the Bar for eMTB
My mate just got his 2nd team edition last Monday, it’s being picked up tomorrow for a full refund. The build quality is shit, his first one looked like it was painted by a blind man, the second one looked like it was painted by a blind man using his feet.

Buying a Bike From a Shop Versus Buying Online
@naptime: RC cars is worse than bikes for me, new cars keep showing up at the house about every 2 weeks or so. My recent purchase is being used to pull my sons wagon around the garden

Review: The 2023 Yeti SB120 is a Comfortable Trail Cruiser
@JDub713: that relationship with your LBS is the key. I haven’t paid anywhere near retail in a long time, even built a SB140 for my wife during the pandemic and still got steep discounts.

Review: The 2023 Yeti SB120 is a Comfortable Trail Cruiser
@Nwilkes: good luck with it, I had all 3 “fixes” on my SB100 and the stupid switch bolts would still come loose, Yeti eventually replaced the frame under warranty and I sold it. The SB100 was the least reliable bike I ever owned, it’s the reason I passed on the SB115 when it came out.

@Xirj: the sixfinity set up was designed for the e-bike, they couldn’t fit the normal switch link in the frame because of the motor. It was never intended to be used on their other bikes.

Patrollers Have Bike Stolen While Helping an Injured Rider
@Fix-the-Spade: Yep…have a friend that works for Police Scotland, he said they can’t even get people to complete the training. Once they see how bad the police force is run due to budget cuts and lack of manning they quit. His most recent class of trainees started with 24 people, only 2 stayed on to become officers.

Tech Week 2023: EXT's Aria Air Shock & ERA V2 190 Fork
@rrolly: I put 55 miles on mine before it starting loosing air from somewhere. I’d go out with a fully pumped up shock and it would be flat about halfway through my ride. Fox rebuilt it under warranty, got it back and 25 miles later the shock body cracked. It’s at Fox again but it will be sold when it comes back this time, I’ve already swapped over to a coil.

That new SB160 doesn’t seem to be working for him.
