Cardinal Richelieu

I was a 146kg rider now 125 and can vouch for the 32mm Rapide rims. Used to constantly break spokes after the rim upgrade not a single spoke broke over 2500ks.

Done close to 1100k's on the Makrodale and lately it keeps breaking.... 2 weeks ago broke 2 spokes (kerb jumping) 1 week ago broke another spoke (kerb jumping) Today jumped on a small BMX track back wheel buckled and ate the rear derailleur, Every thing that broke was self inflicted and will not happen with a average sized rider. I am a solid 136 Kgs in weight and no Game/Makro bike would last a month with a fat rider like me, I do ride hard and fast. Further I can not complain about the service/ride quality of the bike. Future upgrades(Complaints) 1. Tubeless conversion (metal shaving in rims ate 2 tubes) 2. 2 x 11 gearing (3 x 9 to much overlapping battling to spin on uphills) 3. Front air suspension(damping is good but too bouncy always locked out) Took my previous old faith full bike the other day for a ride and the Cannondale ride quality and ergonomics is spot on for the longer rides.

Good day This Makro special might look like a armgat bike which it is but for some of us this is the ultimate.Out of the box setup was extremely easy and any person with a set of Allen keys. I will post some more pics tonight and a small review after I've did some cycling.

Good day I collected a Trail 5 Medium from Amanzimtoti this afternoon. Not bad for the price.
