Who knows their mountain bikes?

Could well be technique (read most probably is ). This bike is massively different to ride than my old one.

Not that it matters now, but all the BB computers are linked and they can order stock off each other store's floor. If it has to come from the supplier, it occurs a $50 transport fee. There is no reason the guy shouldn't have been able to process an order for you over the counter when you first went in and had the bike delivered the next day.

Exactly my thinking. I even had bad service from them when went to buy a helmet the other year. Considering writing a complaint but i really can't be fucked and the big bosses probably will not care.

How's your bike going? Have u had a ride around Waikato Uni or some of the high schools? Lots of fun to be had in these places too.
Check me out (ok, it's not really me and it's not really a mountain bike)

Dont know if your being serious about riding around the uni? I live across the road so wouldn't be hard.

I head out to pukete park at least once a week. Really need to get down to Rotorua. On study break next week so will probably go down then.

Had a crash yesterday going down the 'hard' part at pukete. Took the wrong line locked the back brake and hit a bank fairly hard.

Still getting used to the bike. Takes a lot more effort to ride than my other one. Easier to wheelie though!


Love watching Danny MacAskills videos. He has a sweet life!

Yeah, defo serious about riding around the uni. There's heaps of ramps and stairs to play on
Take it easy. Hope your crash wasn't too bad.

my son lives across from the uni and rides his bike all through it all the time - plenty of transfers and stairs and other bike shit places that are perfect for popping tyres...

waterworks rd (te miro) is great to ride at the moment

Bike Barn Hlz are pretty average, but if you do your research and take the discount then it's all good. My current single speed is a Kona Shonky which I paid $900 for from them. Last of the green wheeled models

Yeah, I bought a marin road bike off them several years ago. Bike was great, after sales service stank. They never got the gears set up right.

A mate did it for me in the end, after they 'tried' 3 times.

I won't be back.
