How old is the boiler, most manufacturers offer a fixed price repair,or you would be better off using a reputable local independent.

Cheery!

A Ripple of fatties?

Tip top!

Fun Fatty 24″ search over!I took a punt after a lot of reading, really happy with the Tusker and after recieving mine was fairly sure I had made the right choice, chuffed you agree!!

Fadda cover your eyes!!^^^^^^

Thats the spirit! 😀

Cheeky, make sure the stem is fully tightened around the bars,not much fun when the bars revolve on braking!! 😯

Cheeky, really glad you like it!!! Just get better every time you go out, point it down something, then pick the flies out ya teeth at the bottom. 😆

@Fadda , it is simple as you pay via card at the rate stated on the Rose Bikes website. I bought the Tusker 1 with a Bluto and stealth Reverb for £1380 delivered with a 6 week lead time.Give Finlay the UK rep a call.

Thoughts are with his family,sad.

Dead easy,just follow the instructions.

Great to hear some GOOD news, enjoy!

Drawing pin in the bottom of your slipper? 🙂 Seriously though I hope you get it sorted, not nice.

Ordered mine 6 weeks ago, had stock earlier last week and assumed that was still the case as Cheekyget had said he was putting an order in,probably best to confirm stock levels with Rose.On the other hand it cant have been a bad deal if it has sold out so soon eh?

@Scottchegg, Figured I would save £500 if I lost the 2.5kg! 😆 Thing is base bike + Bluto + Stealth Reverb + delivery = under £1400.

Like this

Good taste, mine should be here next week! 8)

Proud to be father a of 3 and cycle breaker.

You can get some really thin UFH setups,probably best at 16mm overall depth,you can lay timber flooring / Tiles directly on top.

I have a 2012 26″ and like it,i assume you would be looking at 650b? Either way after 2 years nothing significant has died or needed replacement apart from the FSA crank which was more out of wanting a choice of chainrings.

Give me 12 days. 🙂

Good to hear you enjoyed it,I came along one eve with a certain Fatboy owner, spent a lot of time being comforted by Roger whilst you all waited for me to re seat my lungs!

Looks like there is a spacer missing then… Cheers Brant

FTFY

Ah bugger! I would have gone for the Fatty if I had not seen the Tusker, you will get plenty of gears. 😆

Only reason I looked is that I have been after one and have ended up buying new, I figured you may have spotted the tipping point in used sales. 🙂

Search Ebay using “fat bike” gave 16 used.
“650b” 80 used.

I have Spank Spoons 785mm http://spank-ind.com/products/handlebar/spoon-785-bar
Most who have tried mine like em. 🙂
Or these

From op the current skim would be over its limit,so needs to be replaced, if it is being stripped what is the harm in getting a price to replace with backer?
We have no idea what size the room is, its all options, hence the part where the op gets to choose what he can afford.
Apart from cost,are there any negatives?

CZ surely you mean “mine’s mint” 😆

DrP get it priced for 12mm cement board, as stated above,this is the ideal substrate, you will then be able to make a budget based decision,simples.Usually 1200 x 800 @ around £10 each.

Run over Ariana Grande?

+1 Backer board.

CG have a chat to the UK Rep Finlay his number is on their contact page.

@phil56, it is The Tusker 1 from Rose bikes, I looked around for a while and found the base model came in at £952 + delivery. Only real negatives as far as I can see are 1x only and 170mm rear end restricts use of full fat tyres.Have a look at the configurator in the link as you can adapt quite a bit,they do a Tusker 2 with higher end kit to start with.

Sorry for the sidetrack op! 🙂

Just waiting for one of these to be delivered
Added a set of Bluto’s and a Reverb for less than £1400 8)
So more like this

Cheers for all of your input, I am going to go for a set of V12s and get a set of Electrons for my son, that way we get to try both,thanks again. 🙂

Figured I best give a top figure or be faced with Burgtec/Spank/Raceface etc at £100+

Is there any reason not to grab a pair of V12’s? I realise everyone has different tastes but I am running V8s on my fs,is there much difference?

Love a set of Vaults but where for £60?
Would it be worth waiting for the Nano’s? Do we think they will be back in stock at the end of the month?

Dirty B**tards.

I dont sit on my bonnet.
