I think orbea offer the original owner a "lifetime" frame warranty as well as a non transferrable 2 year warranty on everything else? If you intend to keep the bike for 2+ years AND use it regularly - buy new! In the past 5 years I've had 3 motors replaced under warranty (2 bikes - giant and...

Tell that to my current ( sorry) samsung . Barely 4 years old and the charge port is wearing out. Did I mention that I hate spending $ on phones? Too many years of being woken up at 2 am whilst on call . So I might get a perverse sense of enjoyment when I kill one.

Yes, but I was perfectly happy with the service it'd given me. Sonny waterproof thingy about 4 phones ago, first the charging port became unreliable from vibration, then the screen lost a battle with a rock. This phone had survived 4 years at work before being retired to the bike, so I'm NOT...

So can you get them to build some pants ? I've been told that my kevlar chaps don't work with my stihl electric chainsaw - something about it doesn't stall ???? not sure if this is a small country town myth ??? Either way , feel free to engineer a nicely ventilated set of abrasion resistant...

Tell me more - I've been looking for light weight / flexible and breathable outer wear that is abrasion resistant. I've seen some amazing looking kevlar arborists pants , but they're a bit heavier than I'd prefer. Do you have a particular version?

Nah, we're blessed with amazing black twisty stuff AND the crunchy stuff. Give me the slippery stuff any day!

There's a complex regulation between ca/ mg/ phos +/- to a lesser extent na/k , most cardiologists focus on the k and mg because they area easiest to push up / stabilize and also most likely to be stuffed up by common meds ( eg indigestion tables reduce mg absorption / fluid tabs effect k ) ...

It doesn't hurtto talk to them about potential complications of the cath and what they are hoping to gain +/- how it'll help with their choices. It might help you balance the risk vs the potential to return to relative calm - especially if they find something unexpected and it opens up...

Sails over power is due to the reduced directional options for a sailboat - the average sailboat has 45 degrees where they lose drive when tacking upwind. So it's not JUST because we're doing something stupid whilst watching naked people do something even more stupid - my favorite solo sail...

Thanks for that. I've done many thousands of km sand riding on motorbikes and can understand the 2wd benefits. Too many face plants when the front ploughs / sudden stops as the rear discovers the limits of physics.... I've got a mate who is silly enough to ride long distance remote sand on his...

mentioned in passing but not discussed at length - they serve a few purposes - as well as reducing bugs etc, good eye protection reduces UV and slows down cataracts. Possibly a topic for a different thread -we could fill pages discussing the balance between protection / glare / distortion /...

I'm surprised at such high torque figures on the front? I'm asking because riders of the 2x2 motorbikes seemed to prefer front torque at 15-25 % of rear - and that's on bikes with ergonomics designed to allow riders to get weight ( traction) forward ! I'm left wondering if we missed an...

Djangogog , Wes has disclosed his psychology qualification so I suspect he is capable of looking beyond the drama - and capable of analyzing the complexities of decisions related to personal protection.

Wes, I think I made my rationale for moving to pm rather than posting here reasonably clear - I have zero interest in fueling any anti helmet debate. Some of my pm contains personal information that I don't wish shared in the public forum, but might give you some insight into my background and...

Nice tractor, it took me a while to realize mine isn't the same. In b+w because I'm extremely jealous of your autumn color!

Daughter, riding my specialized: a few months ago Bell full face 100% knee pads You can't see the g form elbow pads and her back protector but they are there under that dharco top 5/10 shoes Gkoves and I'm going to have a discussion with her about not wearing her goggles! Sorry, I don't have...

And just in case there is any doubt, my son on todays ride; Bell full face with mips 661 elbow guards Poc knee guards ( covering his shins) Gloves You can't see his eye protection, and he has size 15 feet so we're limited in his shoe options ( he's 6'4" , that's an XL giant regn - a HUGE bike)

Wes, I've moved to private messaging to try and avoid fueling any anti helmet discussion - that's the absolute last thing I want to encourage !!!!

That depends on the country - in Australia it's biggot , I think the us ( and your spell checker) has abbreviated it to single g. If I thought you had the flexibility of mind to reconsider your bias, I'd go drag out some old dictionaries and research what the original english version was. But...

We have a similar experience with giant - a great local dealer who negotiated marginal manufacturer support. I was fortunate enough that my giants motor failed in the weeks before the 2 year warranty expired, but faced the uncomfortable realization that the replacement motor had zero warranty as...
