    Can a 5 '11 tall ride a medium size road or hybrid bike?

      I am about 5 weeks in and a few hundred miles now.
      Also have some 5 to 10 ten percent radiants - ratios are fine - not had any issues.

      If you like climbing that means you are not a beginner then you should not buy this bike

      No, you can't "upgrade" a rim brake bike to disc brakes. Wheels aren't the same, frame won't be the same, fork, groupset etc.

    Ive had this bike for around a month, been on around 8 rides and had both the front and bike tyre blow out on me, very scary on a busy road. Road condition isnt the best but fairly even, no collisions with potholes. 7 bar pressure in the tyre, any ideas why this has happened? Second time it happened i cut my leg quite badly and ive been a bit hesitant to get back on it.

    I am around 165cm/166cm height (5'5/5'6) accoridng to triban sizing right at the end of xs and right at the beginning of small. For me kts hard to find these bikes to lhysically go and size so at my height could i go with an xs even though it states its for sizes 154cm to 165cm?

      @@PNSinstant Go with an XS if you want something more nimble, S if you want something slightly more stable. Or order both and send back the one you don't want, Decathlon is pretty chill with their return policy.

    Why does the stem say "BTWin 100" and not "Triban RC 120"??!?
    They did not even bothered to rebrand their old left stock?!? What a shame

      Lots of parts in store including stems have BTwin branding. The bike has Decathlon written on the front. I don’t feel it detracts from the bikes great value. Please do feel free to subscribe.
