The light I got from Magic Shine, used 3 times and the battery stopped working, just as it went out of warranty. Seems this is a common problem :thumbdown:

Batteries have to be used often, otherwise they die. If you only used it 3 times in the year or so that you had it, it is quite possible that it stopped working because of this.

Waste of money cause I built it up with the then newly released XO 2x10 groupset and couldn't really afford the maintenance, so built an SS to train on and then never rode the bike again. Will probably never own another carbon bike. Not my favorite frame material.

Exchanged my second hand "Gumtree" aluminum Raleigh for a sleek carbon Specialized Amira....worst mistake ever! Needless to say I'm on the prowl again....perhaps I'll just go back to Raleigh! :cursing:

Same brakes I have and no problems whatsoever

Biggest question is do you also scream like a girl????

Worst cycling purchase ever? Any type of anti cramp pills

 

Still suffer regularly but have learned that there is just no alternative to hours in the saddle and a healthy dose of HTFU

A Mountainbike from Cajees.

 

 

It was not the bike's fault, more the salesperson's incompetence selling the righ sized frame and my noobness in not knowing any better.

 

Cajees are like 'Game'. Lots of stock, very few employees to actually help you out, and the ones that may potentially help you out prefer rocking on their chairs behind the counter, not even getting up when you ask for advice.

 

I only use Cajees or Game when I know exactly what I want, have done my own research, and don't mind lackluster service.
