The Kuat Piston Pro looks very well made, but the specs Piston Fender Strap kit indicate the wheel base is limited to 45". The small Turbo Como wheelbase is 1194 mm, just over 47", and of course the medium and large have even longer wheel bases. It looks like the Creo has no fenders, so it's...

Thule used to make an access swing away adapter, but they discontinued it. https://www.rei.com/product/152011/thule-access-swing-away-hitch-adapter Aside from warranty issues mixing products from different manufacturers, I was thinking about using the Kuat Pivot v2 or the Yakima BackSwing...

I have a truck with a back gate that could not open without hitting the rack, with or without bikes. Overall, excellent information. Thanks much.

Great info - Thanks very much again, Tim. Was going to ask this in the general discussion area, but let me run it by you. Thule used to make an access swing away adapter, but they discontinued it. https://www.rei.com/product/152011/thule-access-swing-away-hitch-adapter Aside from warranty...

Very good info, thanks Tim. Do you know if carrying 2 bikes on the Easy Fold, the geometry will allow both to attach to the seat tube?

I know there have been threads discussing the 1Up with fenders, but it looks like the solutions involve touching the rack to the rear fender which I want to avoid. The Wheel Stop accessory is used for bikes with front and rear fenders, but it's limited to wheelbases up to 46". So it looks like...

Yup - once I realized it was a temporary glitch where the Canada page had been used for the US page, I tried to delete the post but couldn't so I edited it to add the additional information. Much ado about nothing. After several years of not posting, not the best way to get back involved.

The price for the Turbo Como 5.0 IGH is $5,750. Late yesterday evening, the website showed the price as $7,999, along with a few additional, less-expensive models. The Turbo Vado showed similar price increases, but I don't remember the specifics for the Vado. This morning, the site for the...

You make a valid point, but who should cover for the labor part of the warranty service if the dealer does go out of business? I've seen in other cases where a business folds, the former competing business will try and get new customers. For good will, they could choose to cover or at least...

I agree with this. Some make a case for a buyer living far away from an authorized dealer when it comes to purchasing, but when they need service from an authorized dealer, they would have to travel the same distance. In another thread I was involved with, some believed the relationship was...

I was involved in a discussion in a Brand forum but thought it would be a good topic for General Discussion. Some thought the manufacturer should ensure the buyer is covered for all costs. That could mean either the manufacturer reimbursing the local dealer or requiring as a condition of being...

Bob and Goodair - good comments and I think in my initial post I was a bit too harsh. I interpreted the issue as more of a performance enhancement than correcting a problem via warranty, but you guys are closer to this than I am, of course. I think a solution is for the manufacturer to make...

Bob - If you consider the firmware upgrade a clear case of fixing a manufacturing defect, then you do have a point. Seems like a gray area to me and the manufacturer did negotiate a lower cost for the buyer. This is not exactly the same situation, but after a bike purchase a retailer often does...

pxpaulx - Valid points in general, but in this case the buyer did have a choice of local shops. I am sympathetic to wanting to avoid the sales taxes in California. Possibly the buyer could have established a friendly relationship with a local dealer and given them the chance to negotiate a...

Long time lurker and decided to sign-up and post to this thread. I don't have a dog in this fight. My bike is from another manufacturer and I have no relationship with Bulls but I felt compelled to post because I don't like at all what I'm reading here. Maybe there are some extenuating...
