Is it worth my while to spend the 3k extra on a Titan Trail

Very cool looking bike!!! But with red being a gender "neutral" colour does it prefer the blue or pink food bowl?

Depends where theres more food I rate... Well thats what I'd choose :lol:

Scientifically proven that every red part on your bike increases speed and ability by at least 10%.

Dang, nothing on my bike is red ☹️ Will i get the same effect if I ride with a red shirt?

I put red bar tape on my bike and it didn't make a difference...

 

Guess 10% of zero is still zero.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

 

Ended up buying a Titan Expert.

 

Got a really good price for it at Cycle Lab in fourways. Was basically the same price I was set on spending on the Trail. And the service was excellent.

 

Super keen to ride

Lekker, but where is the couch?

 

Also maybe get them to shorten the lockout cable.

What is a couch?

 

Will ask them to do so, will have to go back there today anyway.

Yeah they did the conversion for free :D

 

But heres the funny part... so yesterday I took the bike out not realising that the rear tire would be low on air... I mean it was my second time riding it...

 

As i take the bend the rim scrapes because the tire basically came of the rim... I am now more knowledgable and know that this is known as a Tire Burp :lol:  :lol:  :lol: but yesterday I was pissed because I break it on day 2 :lol:

 

Well took the bike back to cycle lab today, and after adding sealant and pumping, they realised that it had a small tear in it...

They replaced the tire with a new tubeless ready one and didn't charge me :eek:

 

I was pretty impressed by the service because the tire is expensive. :thumbup:

oh....and always check your tyre pressures before riding, hence the need for a pump with a gauge  :w00t:  :thumbup:
