  1. This is why this event rocks! Normal people doingAMAZING THINGS, I was there managed 15 laps and I remember that Hub Jersey, quietly getting on with the job at hand, no posing, no fanfare, slow and steady ! NICE POST, WELL DONE
  2. There's nothing new here, could apply to any shop. it's not great but we all f..... Up from time to time. establish a relationship with a shop, and this takes time, believe me it does. Buy you mechanic a few beers over Christmas, spend some time and money in the shop, and then they will bend over backwards. Most of all discuss your problems face to face, you did this, I'm not happy can we reach a compromise. Bike shops often want to solve problems, that cost money with small margins... Tough job. And no, I don't own a bike shop, but have a good relationship with my local bike shop and the mechanic, and It works.... But it takes time
  3. Great bike, good shock, XT is solid... The way GT used to make bikes, a classic. Plus loads of street cred!!
  4. Shocks fine, BB done 17 months still fine, key is regular servicing and keep it clean. I reckon the weak spot is the DT Swiss rear shock, but pivots don't seize by themselves... The get dirty, they get dry, they creak, and squeak and we keep ignoring them, and then something breaks... And it's a crap bike ? That doesn't make sense ?
