    Drivetrain wear

    Drivetrain wear

    Drivetrain wear varies a lot depending on the setup, maintenance and how hard you ride. Getting rid of the cassette and using the Rohloff 14 speed hub helped with chain and sprocket life a lot. I would say 2-4k miles would be reasonable if your riding it hard, more if you ride easier. We have...

    New Optibike Carbon Elite Series R15C

The new rear suspension is working great so far and soaks up bumps and jumps like they aren't there, the carbon frame is extremely rigid and helps with the handling...

    New Optibike Carbon Elite Series R15C

    Around the same price as the old Elite Series line, with some less expensive models as well. Just one size right now, but it has a low stand over height of about 27" so it will work for a good range of rider heights.

    SIMBB 29C Operation

    No bullshit, it really has been mostly issues with getting the parts made and made correctly.
