Anyone here possibly ordering from Merlin Cycles soon? I have something to order but can't justify the shipping for my item alone.

I had an issue with my watch and emailed GSAinfo@garmin.com, and almost instantly received a reply with another email address from an employee who helped me get my watch sorted.

Taken in an industrial elevator... Outer Cycles - The Link Basically been riding every single day. So good!

I think the design notes section of the website might answer some of your questions: https://outercycles.com/pages/design-notes-the-link It's a very different bike to what I was previously riding. I was riding an analog Giant Reign. This bike has a shorter reach than the Reign, but a longer wheelbase. In some ways it's way more nimble and easy to ride, but it also doesn't lose any stability when going faster. It's a good balance of everything. I'm not the most picky person, and I also can't feel the difference between 65 and 64.9 degree head angles or 10mm more or less reach, I think okes read too deeply into the numbers and forget to give a the bike as whole a chance because of a single number they don't like, or do like. Take the bike for a ride and decide. So far it's taken everything I've thrown at it without a single issue. And I don't feel like there's any component I need to swop out to have a good time. Ride-ready out the box.

Might have been me 🤪

It uses a key on the non-drive side of the bike.

Looks amazing. Also really cool to see some riders sending it in something other than lycra on the front page!

Just going to leave a little Dangerholm video over here...

Hmm, looks like Bikehub is just full of useful replies today. If you're on an entry level bike, I'm assuming you don't need a high-end bike for you girlfriend. Titan Nitric, Liv Tempt (https://solomonscycles.co.za/products/liv-tempt-e2-2022/), you could even get a Bianchi (https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/e-bike/products/bianchi-t-tronik-sport-9-1-deore-10-speed-option-3-coil). Lots of options for an entry level e-bike with a decent motor.

I don't think they exist anymore

Meh, I had a bad experience with their droppers. I'd vouch for Lyne any day of the week, it's about the same price and the support has always been fantastic from Lyne.

FWIW, I ran an 11s XT M8000 shifter and derailleur with a Sunrace 11-50 without any issues for about 3 years. You'll find lots of folks online that have done that and it seems to work fine. Edit: my brother tried one of the newer 11s Shimano derailleurs with the big range with the old shifter and it didn't work that great. It was ok, but never perfect.

King Price. Mine is the same, interesting. I've only had one claim that was above the minimum, so I never paid attention to that.

Are you sure about what your policy states? For bikes, my excess is based on the value of the claim - there's a minimum amount and 5% of claim, whichever is greater.

Put LHM in one of your brakes and the Shimano oil in the other and go for a ride. LHM lever always feels sticky, it's definitely a little thicker, maybe ever so slightly, but you'll notice it when you're able to compare them back to back.
