I just always seem to take care of myself. Some things would have been covered but it just seems easier to fix things myself. Even though @Bruce would disagree, I don't like complaining. that's where a lot of us englanders come unstuck we dont complain enough 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as bad as far as luck goes, but still too much. Now the bikes are cheap and parts are also. We knew this. The bike is super fun to ride and does all I could ask of it. I think it is just surprising how much so early on and then there is my luck....always something it seems. I'm not giving in yet! That's just it if your enjoying the bike and the problems are minor then why not carry on enjoying it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slime is a preventative (supposedly) cure that you put in before you ride and just leave it in there, if you then get a puncture it seals the hole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the stuff that "goes off" in the tyre and putsch wheel out of balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
