yes

When the most active thread that is actually vaguely connected to cycling is this s###fest https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/unreasonable-or-unfit-for-purpose/page/3/ you can sort of understand why really.

Even if it was your mistake they should of refunded you as your good will towards them is probably worth more than the cost of a dry bag.

Everything that is wrong with attitudes towards retail in one sentence.FML

As per the current info on the website I entered in to partnership with the shop in Germany which sadly hasn’t worked out as either of us had hoped

:o(

What size are you? I know of a 19″ frame in good condition going for £100.

Shame for Eli.Wins 8 races but loses the championship.

Most serious CX riders still run tubs as they’ve got loads of nice tub wheels and tyres still.Ftfy

You can get a thinner headset cover than that.

Deed.

I’ve noticed that SC bikes have really jumped in price since I got mine and I can only assume that down speccing the hubs is a reaction to increased cost at import to attempt to keep the prices sane.

It was always going to happen as soon as Pons Holdings bought them.They’ve got to recoup a LOT of money they paid to buy them.Prices up,value down.
Same happened with Cervelo.They immediately started down speccing complete bikes (for the same money) and the build quality of the frames went though the floor.

Yes

Google translate must be playing up (either that or you’re talking bollix again).

Chill Winston…..have a toke.

Where do they stand on pudding?

No I’m not a pressure washer user, because I’m really that stupid I’d really pressure wash a brand new Nomad

Ah,ok.Now I understand.

You speak to everybody like that.

Good luck with that.

On a £5.6k sale…….you have a bit of margin to play with to cover customer service issues.

I assume that apart from losing 2 half days to the speed awareness courses there has’nt actually been any direct consequences to her lifestyle for her speeding .

She sees nothing wrong with it.Why would she change?

Some people have to learn the hard way.Hopefully this won’t involve either her or another innocent party being injured,

I guess everyone would be happy with being spoken to like that by a company then by the responses here

Have you tried insulting the bikeshop?

Might be worth contacting santa cruz for the proper spec..

Or look at the spec online :o/
F: Novatec D641 – 15x110mm
R: Novatec D642 – 12x148mm (XD)
Rim E13 TRS 30mm – 27.5
Spokes: DT Competition

They are the same £80 (retail) rear hub that’s specced on the base spec model for £2k less.You don’t get Hopes till you spend another £800!!

You’ll find them on £1200 hardtails.

Your expectation that they should be DT Swiss,Chris King quality is not totally unfounded given the £5.6k price tag but that’s an issue to take up with Santa Cruz.

To be fair if they did come on a £1200 hardtail you’d still be a bit miffed but maybe somewhat more realistic.

Still the responsibility to look after you lies with the bikeshop you bought it from.Them saying ‘we’ve done all we can’ is bollox.

-Is this warranty?

-Sorry,bearings are not covered under warranty.Your bikeshop may be able to help you though.

-They said no.Your wheels are s@#t and not as good as others costing a lot more.I hate your company

-Okey dokey.

Santa Cruz speccing cheap oem wheels on a 6k bike says a lot.I see this as a failure of the shops customer service tbh.

Novatec far and few between in the UK.

Superstar,Hunt,JRA to name a few.

Geometry and how it uses it’s travel is the key.You could have a 120mm travel bike that is more capable downhill than a 140mm one.And a 140mm one that climbs more efficiently than a 120mm one.

You can get to more cafes in a ride.

Where’s Ninfan on this?

He’s been deported.

We could send in questions……

What tyres for being repatriated to commonwealth countries?

What happened to Kaesae ?

:o(

PMQ’s will be……..sporting.

I can get you a false passport and a ticket to Uraguay.

For a price.

You will need a convincing limp.

I believe the phrase is “You’re ~%$#@ love”.
But they’ll be no resignation.She’s doing a fine job.

As a human shield.

Great example how professional bikers – in this case the fantastic Greg Callaghan – help bike companies sell more bikes!

It is kind of their job.

Waitrose and Iceland to merge…………………….Bikebouy goes into meltdown.

I feel that I must explain the Dolmio thing before I lose all forum credibility though.

It’s for our short-eared French Bulldog, Theresa. She turns her nose up at dog food and much prefers a regular diet of spaghetti bolognese, but I was becoming fatigued preparing fresh passata on the daily, Soooooo

Edinburgh defense.
