I think I am in love - just had a look at and "car park" test of a Remedy 8.
Anyone got one? Any thoughts...
The spec isn't stunning for the money, I had a look at a Cube Fritzz too, which was much higher spec and cheaper (2009 model rather than the Trek which is 2010 spec) as a result of the bombing pound 🙁 I just liked the frame on the Trek better, even if it was a bit too small for me!
Probably going to try and resist through winter and then replace the 575 in Spring, depleting the new motorcycle fund in the process... but a new shiny bike may inspire me to ride more (or at all... ahem...)
My mate has an '09 one and it's a great bike. He's had a lot of trouble with the Lyrics though.
2009's Crack inside the headtube !! from the lower hole to the downtube outwards .......
The 2010 seems to have a bit of a repositioning - it has Fox 32 forks rather than the Lyrik.
Hmmm, have to see if that frame issue has been sorted though (at least if I do wait until Spring any problems can be highlighted!)
Yea cracked within 5 months, don't no if they have changed the new 1's hope they have and improved something to stop dints near the b/b from rocks.
Heard of folk having problems with the frame ovalising around the main pivot too.
thickens, could you see the crack on the outside? ive got a 09 which i love but i guess if it goes i'll get a new one under warrenty
That doesn't sound too good really.
Waiting to see the new Spec Enduro too, which has a stonking spec.

No drop your forks out, take a look up the headtube ull see straight away if yours has cracked there about 25mm long on both sides.
Yep they will replace it on warranty as long as you haven't "large frontal impact" .....
ok cheers i'll have a look tommorow, no large frontal impacts tho i did crash alot in france this year 😕
Ooooh - just been perusing the Scratch Air too... tasty nice 🙂
