I recently bought and built up a Titus Motolite. So far the following issues have arisen:
1. Rims changed to tubeless as as upgrade without me asking. Tyres now won't seat properly and I'm using tubes in my tubeless rims.
2. Depsite ordering a Fox TALAS with a QR15, a fork with standard drop outs arrives.
3. The brakes I ordered turn out to be used and not new.
4. The brakes are also short a number of bits which means they can't be used immediately.
5. The Thomson seat post didn't turn up with the rest of the stuff. It arrived today, about four weeks late, and is the wrong size.
6. The Crank brothers pedals are both left hand thread.
Gone right off the blasted thing now! Sorry for the whinge. Anyone else gone off a bike for similar reasons?
Good work. I'll give you a 7 out of 10, mostly for the bad spelling and the swear word. which you have now edited. Doh.
A 7? You're generous. There is nowhere near enough venom. Where are the capital letters and unnecessary punctuation marks? Why has there been zero ranting about how [b]shooterman[/b] would have been fired if his job was performed with as little skill and diligence as is afforded to the work over at Titus. There is no crudely drawn MS Paint diagram of where exactly the incorrect fork would be inserted if only [b]shooterman[/b] could find the imbeciles responsible. I'd be hard-pressed to score this above 3.
Conclusion: must try harder.
Karma? fess up, what have you done?

I lol'd
HTH.
My Racer-X had a number of problems when they were still doing well, including Titus US damaging my frame whilst it was returned to them (for 4 months and at great expense) to try and solve the problem with constantly snapping shock linkages (apparently a swing arm I bent, new one for £400 or no frame return, great.), I wouldn't touch another one with a barge pole.
Shame, as they were good bikes, when not snapping linkages.
At least you will have a spare for the same side when the pedal snaps off.
Just be grateful that the bearings don't need replacing. The main pivot bearings behind the BB are a real pleasure to work on... 🙄
Don't on one own these now? Can you deal direct with them?
Worth a try maybe
No vitriol really. Just wondering how much hassle you are prepared to take over a bike before the shine goes off.
TFO, my shouty days are over.
