    Stem could be an issue.
    I would try free things first – adjust brake lever angle and raise the hight of the bar with a stem spacer/s.
    Then shorter stem then riser bar?

    I watched a documentary about trek bikes in the tour. They had a stock of tyres that had been stored in a boiler room for around 5 years which were given to the riders as they offered the best performance.

    Not exactly super tackys but interesting all the same.

    AA didn’t add much for 4k of bike for me.
    I think I paid an extra £15 or so.

    Is she definitely using cannabis or is she using synthetic cannaboids? Huge difference in the consequences you discuss ime. I would establish what is being used and speak to a medical professional re advice.
    Could you assist her back to the UK and have her assessed by a doctor whilst en-route?

    That youtube clip of TKD – is that a high/good level of the sport?

    You will notice a massive difference to your riding if you go for fulcrum wheels.

    The largest impact you will notice is when you require a spare part and discover that the importer does not support fulcrum very well and that manufacturer does not have the parts available. After 2 or 3 months of waiting for the part to arrive and not being able to ride you will wish you had Mavics.

    I reckon 2 years out of a jacket is ok.

    Before asking for warranty I always try to think how could it have happened? Is it a defect?

    If you think logically how could the jacket fall apart? I’m guessing its washed incorrectly as it seems unlikely that a jacket will just fall apart whilst cycling.

    Have you considered setting your car on fire and claiming that from the insurance?

    I find the best way to measure a bike is to look at the wheel base and the chainstay length.

    If you subtract the chainstay from wheelbase it gives you a good front length – compare it to a bike you previously owned and liked and you are onto a winner IMO.

    Life time warranty on them.
    I emailed and sent photos to osprey and never a had proof of purchase.

    They posted me a new one in a few days.

    Is it damaged or just cracked?
    Could be a warranty thing as it looks like it failed at the weld.

    Pretty common on a new bike I find. Just a lot of grease in the hub. Give it a month or so to settle in I reckon

    You have damaged your bike and sent it to a shop for no reason as far as I can tell?
    The length of time is unfortunate but not surprising given how much you are chancing your luck with them!

    Having done the drive in these conditions before I would suggest not doing it unless you absolutely have to.

    What size is he after Renton?

    I could do a deal on a 2nd hand remedy 9 29er if he wants a 19.5

    Depends what was done and what needed done.
    Not uncommon to just need seized front mech “adjusted” as it’s not shifting right.
    Actually requires new mech, chain, chainrings, cassette and cables and outers.

    Add that up + labour (internal fidly) cables and the service could be a bargain.

    Obviously I’m not saying this is the case in this example but I bet there is more to it than made out. No offence meant to the op but perhaps you are only hearing half of one side of the story?

    Clearly the shop should have called the customer to advise of the extra costs involved.

    Granted the newer Kona bikes are different breed from days of old but some people, myself included, could never bring themselves to own a kona. Im sure Doug is aware of my kona experience but the lack of customer service and warranty was at a level that I doubt many on here would believe.

    Spot on for Fleas – vet for worming pill.

    I do it every 3 months but not in winter as the cat does not go out much when its cold.
    My vet charges £10 to chuck a worming pill in the cats mouth and its worth every penny. I tried to do it myself once…never again.

    Shims no win for spares. Last year I had a Sram bike and bust the rear mech (x9). The supplier had run out of rear mechs!
    Not x9 mechs just mechs!

    Don’t think shimano would ever run out of mechs of one type or another.
