  1. Check this on Facebook - looks too good to be true! What do you guys think? Doesn’t add up??
  2. Just thought I would share my experience I bough the new Scott spark 950 2 years ago. My frame has developed a crack now and they refuse to warranty the claim. They only willing to sell me the frame without the rear triangle in a different colour for 24k. So in essence make more money from me and I have a bike that is two different colours. The warranty specifically states that the bike has a 3 year warranty and if you service at a certified dealer then you have a 5 year warranty. They say that since I have no proof of service the warranty is void anyway. I have serviced the bike myself and in fact the bike has done very low mileage as this isn’t my only bike. This makes no sense since it’s still less than the 3 years. They also say they would have honoured the warranty if it was in the first 3 months. This makes no sense as I could easily do less mileage than someone else in 2 years than them in 3 months. In essence the issue originates from the hidden shock bolt so if you thinking of buying one don’t and if you have one make very sure that bolt is regularly checked as they say this would have prevented this. Bizarre to regularly check this but worth saving yourself the lack of customer support.

  5. Hi Guys, i am new to mountain biking. Started this year on a hardtail and have been really loving the sport. Sold my hardtail as i want to get a dual suspension. My budget is not great, i would like to spend less than 25k. In that price bracket there are not many nice new dual suspensions so i have decided to go 2nd hand. I found a 2013 Scott Spark at a bike shop, the bike has a lot of scratches but rides really well and has great components, SRAM brakes and groupset 1 x 12, and its full carbon. They want 20k for it. I am looking to keep it for about a year, i dont think it will depreciate so much. Is this a good deal, they have newer Scott Sparks, 2016 and 2017 for around the same price but they are aluminuim. The bikes frame is very scratched, was thinking to respray it but the guys at the shop say its no point. I want to do XC and some trails, Thanks for the help, appreciate it. Shaun
  6. Hi Guys, Need some assistance please, I have a 2020 Scott Spark 950. I was doing a once over when washing my bike and noticed what seemed to be a loose pivot screw, I grabbed the torque wrench and tried to tighten it, without even reaching 10nm the screw starting spinning around. So not sure if I broke it or if it was over tightened from the start but need a new one. Where will I be able to source?

  8. Hello hubbers, My bike, Scott Genius 750 (2018), has the ability to switch between 27"+ and 29", and now I'm interested to do exactly that. The reason is mainly because my bike has quite a low BB, and I believe 29er will be able to just add a few needed centimeters. I just want to know if it's possible to trade my current 27"+ wheelsets for 29ers? I have the following: Rims: Syncros X-30s, 32 hole, 30mm Hubs: Front - Shimano HB-M6010-B CL, 15x110mm Rear - Shimano FH-M6010 CL, 12x148mm Tires: Maxxis Recon 2.8" I also have a Shimano CS-HG50-10 speed cassette, which I believe is not compatible with Sram XD hubs, but in the future I'd probably want to upgrade to Sram SX/NX and I don't know if XD hubs and Shimano cassetes are compatible for the time being? What can I expect to get for my wheelset aswell? Thanks in advance!
  9. Hi All, I'm new to Bike Hub but I took my 2017 Scott Spark in for a service almost 4 weeks and the mechanics noticed that both the swingarm and the frame (at the seat tube) were cracked. It took over 2 1/2 weeks to get a response - the swingarm was warrantied but not the frame as they claim the seat post clamp was installed incorrectly. I have taken this up with Scott as nowhere in the users' manual is this stated that it needs to be a certain way and I received my bike from the bike shop that assembled it with the seat clamp installed as is. The 2017 and 2018 users manuals do not stipulate the seat clamp orientation but the 2019 one does, although it just mentions that it must be installed correctly and does not sat what is correct. Has anyone else had this problem? It's now almost 4 weeks later and I still have no bike to ride! I'm training for the Epic and need to ride but this is so unfortunate. There has been nothing from Scott International to date and Scott local sent an email to me this week for a loan frame but nothing has come of it. Such bad service.
