[Closed] Orange ST4 and 10 bolt through

Having read a number of reviews/comments/discussions etc it looks like the ST4 is a craking bike. I've test ridden one and like it a lot. A number of people comment on the flexy back end and I've got a few questiosn.

Is the flex really an issue anyway? My test ride was down south whereas the bike will mostly be used in the Lakes for bigger days out. I'm not sure it will be an issue compared to my Soda for which flex is an issue. Doesn't particularly bother me though.

Has anyone tried to fix this with a 10mm bolt through on the back? I know the Maxle's not available but this should fit normal dropouts.

Your thoughts would be really appreciated.

It's a little flexy compared to a Five, it's pretty stiff compared to a Meta - that's all I can offer.

Thanks Gary.

Anyone aware of any plans to stiffen the ST4 up for 2010.
