Does this look genuine

[DR ◣◢]

I would also be DEPRO if I paid R11k for a 3x7 Tourney equipped 26’er

It’s leaving the chain on a big chainring when parking the bike for an extended time.

[Bundu Ric]

Thanks, so I should leave it on a small one?

 

Is it because it creates less tension?

Those that know the Scott brand, does this look like a genuine Scott?

If you needed to ask then your gut is warning you to stay away.

[DieselnDust]

those scotts are faker than a fake thing

 

 

The curve in the top tube is wrong. The head tube sculting into the top and down tubes is wrong

The rear stays are wrong

The down tube to BB junction is wrong

There's never been a more wrong fake scott

I’m not 100% sure, but are you saying that maybe those are not the genuine Sparks ???

lol

[babse]

Seems legit... Koepit!!!

[Markellis]

So are saying Scotts don’t have “full shockingproof frames” as listed in the specs?

only at the 95% confidence level. There's still a chance a Chinese open mould ended up in the scott factory by mistake after the courier delivered to  Mr. Soom Ting Up at an address 3000km away. My friend Hambini says that the Soom name is popular and Ting Up became popular babies names around  8 years ago

I see a lot of this stuff on Lazada in Singapore - especially the clothing. It’s all on Aliexpress too - except there it is sold for next to nothing not what some of the prices suggest on this site. So definite scam. I’d be amazed if you even received it let alone anything on the bike was genuine.

always best to leave your bike in smallest front ring and smallest on the cassette .. its stops your jockey springs from stretching and messing with your shifting.

[abrooke]

I am just not sure that frame isn't 'foldable'...  maybe on a decent downhill?

Just don't forget, some very much older (~2010) derailleurs worked in reverse, where the default position is on the largest cog, hence the reverse is true.  Problem with that was that if the "indexing spring" is relaxed, the "cage spring" is tensioned and vice versa.

 

Good thing derailleurs changed to what we have now, both springs "relaxed" when on the smallest cogs.

Not genuine at all

 

1) suspension is what brand exactly?

 

2) head tube is very different. The new Scott bikes don't have any tapers or edges on the head tube

 

3) top tube to the frame is not correct

 

4) brake hose for the rear isn't internal

 

5) it's miles too cheep
