You can't control what people will offer, you can only control what you'll accept. Pick your battles.

I bought my Titan because value for money wise they couldn't be beaten and their service is outstanding.

Just realised I've been a member here for 18 years. About time I scam someone! 😂 In all seriousness just use Bikehub Pay. Especially if they're in a different town.

Interested to hear peoples experience with support regarding Tacx trainers. I bought a Tcx Neo 2T a while ago and called their support centre to get advice with regards to changing the freehub for Campag and was quite surprised at the poor assistance and arrogant attitude, never mind. Recently I had trouble with the trainer not changing resistance so I decided to get in touch via the Garmin site for support. Received an email saying somene would get back to me. Over a week later and after having sorted out the problem myself, not a word. This is quite concerning considering the price of these trainers. I'm hoping I just had an unlucky experience and their support isn't really this pathetic? The trainer itself is generally fantastic so it would be a pity for the product to be let down by such useless local support.

Yellow trail is the longest, its about 34 km with 450 m of climbing according to my Garmin. There are two shorter trails if you want to add distance though. This was in January, not sure if anything has changed since then.

Thats a beaut! Congrats!

All I'm getting from this is people are prepared to trade in cars but not bicycles.

Same principle as webuycars. Sell quickly at a low price. Convenience comes at a price I guess. Not for me thanks.

AFAIK CPA is relevant here and OP could get a refund. I must say I'm surprised people being so understanding about buying a bike advertised with one spec and being sold with another, even if it is equivalent quality? Unless it says in the ad that specs can vary, this is not on as as far as I'm concerned. Regardless of whether its a good buy or not, or cheap or whatever. They advertised as such and should deliver. "Under the CPA, consumers have the right to a refund when they purchase goods or services that are defective or not of good quality. They also have the right to a refund when the goods or services were not delivered as promised or within a reasonable time frame. " Retailers can't just invent their own returns and exchange policies.

They're trying to corner everyone into signing up for their banking. Slowly but surely all the benefits are becoming redundant if you don't have it.

Awesome, I'll check it out - thanks!

I can only help you with the long route. Emperors_Classic_.gpx

Didn't enjoy it at all, only did the half marathon. I don't understand people constantly pushing bikes uphill or over the slightest obstacle. I'm not that technically proficient but if you can't ride a bike up the slightest incline then you should be training more before you attempt even these fun rides. 80% singletrack with stopping before most uphills. The seeding for MTB rides seems to be even worse than road. I won't be doing another one of these. There did seem to be water though. maybe they ran out later because it was ridiculously hot.
