  1. It is probably not a good idea. Thule don't recommend hatchback racks for cars with plastic spoilers and I would think same would apply to Holdfast. Although it may hook on the steel of the lid it is still resting on the plastic and with 2 MTB might not survive.
  2. Hey I offered 2.5k above asking price way better than the lowball offer that WBC will make. And did I mention it is cash.
  3. Would you consider 30k cash?
  4. Ok this is in way a rant but more an info seeking on what to expect or look for with a new bike. Recently 3 weeks back purchased a Cypher Elite for the wife. Wanting to know what is@Titan Racing Bikes out the box pre delivery procedure and what can customers expect to be done when taking delivery. The bike I have has less than 100km mainly road as the wife works and does some TDF challenge 10% of the stage thing late afternoon when getting home. Problems I have had so far are first 10km crank developed a wobble at the BB spacer on Raceface crank was broken and gears were not set correctly chattering when shifting on the cassette. 30km pivots started sounding rough dry as a bone no grease and crank felt stiff LBS sorted. Upon inspection the shock bolts had been switched around long at bottom and short at top. To ad I found plenty paint chips around the pivots. 80km in and first wash I noticed a broken tooth on the cassette. I like to think I know my way around a bike and can strip/rebuild most any bike and part but new bike warranty etc I leave it to the LBS. But 4 trips to the shop in 3 weeks is a bit much. Like I said not a rant and excuse my english/grammar/punctuation etc. 20240708_093744.mp4

    Not sure if it is something in the setup or the way cavendish sprints but this is not the first chain slip at a major race sprint.

    That had the potential to go horribly wrong for a few riders.

    Something did😆
  9. I presume you are referring to the rear cassette (cog). If it was the front then the extra click is the trim. @JMK1 would be the man in the know and be able to sort the bike for you.
  10. I wonder if the 2 Casual Riders are related as admin already disabled the other account.
  11. Ok I see only 2 months on the Hub so money's probably gone.
  12. The home page/classifieds/message etc run separate to the forum side. So date last seen may not be the same me thinks it still runs like that. Dm message in forum not seen in home page message box and same in reverse. User search in home page might give different results.
  13. My thoughts exactly. Bikes were not even outside Seattle but left on the pavement out font the shop next door not locked and out of sight. More like an opportunistic theft.
  14. Errors 🤣
  15. Sorry for your loss. How does someone who works in a bike shop walk?. VID-20240630-WA0000.mp4
  16. From home page it does not open but from forum page it does.
  17. Big nine is the size as in 29er 7000 is carbon hundreds are Alloy and thousands are carbon. Big nine 700 alloy. Big nine 7000 carbon. Big seven 700 alloy. Big seven 7000 carbon. Scott will work on the first number in the model 620 (26er) 720 (27.5) & 920 (29er) etc.
  18. Hi, I am looking for a Ritchey 260 WCS 100mm in wet red. I have one on order at EVO but it is not materializing they have all sizes but not 100mm. Preferably awesome as new condition as it is for a new bike and would like it to look the part. Will part with Cash, beer or trade for anything in my listing's please DM what have you.
  19. Hey, I know this is an old post but did you manage to find these? I just picked up 2 sets from Cycle Lab online cheep R79 a set.
  20. Thank you very much @NotSoBigBen for the adapter. Problem sorted much better clearance from the shock.
  21. I have elongated the bolt holes on this cage to the max leaving about .5mm till it breaks through. I got a handful of Cages on consignment from my LBS to try and this with a modification gave the best results.
  22. I need to come down 10 or 15mm . I have elongated the holes in this cage to the max to drop it but still find the wife is struggling putting the bottle back in. 500ml is fine but she wants 750ml
  23. Yea tight space. The Lyne Holy Rail also very tight fit in a small frame
  24. I recently purchased a Titan Cypher Elite for my wife in a size small. I am struggling to find a side entry bottle cage that works nicely on a small frame. I am looking for an adapter so I can lower the cage and this will alow for a 750ml bottle. If anybody knows where to find or have a solution to this let me know.
  25. Been shopping around for a N+1 for the wife. Yesterday i pick up a new Titan Cypher Elite for 58k. Compere spec like for like I could not find another bike close to this price. Yes 2023 but carbon frame, Shimano M8100, carbon post/bars and carbon wheels even got the Victoria's replaced for Maxxis on the house. Overall I think good value for money just one thing I can't get my head around is the TRC hubs that @Titan Racing Bikes use on the carbon wheels they are Junk. Brad/Derrick time to let that tech go.
