      @@born4_mtb I should definitely go for one trail video, just yesterday I made the first trials in Zurich where I live and the feedback I received was very positive.. Much more confident compare to the ancient 26 hardtail I used to ride.. Comfortable and stable.. My friend who ride it also (owns a 29' fullsus carbon) he mentioned a wider bar would help me to steer better, at the moment I think it's fine.. Keep the good job got a sub waiting for the part 2 cheers!

      its ok i bought one todeay fr and it is nice but at first couple of km are worse at breaking bc it doesnt break as much as after like 20 km and the rear suspension is nive it is air suspension so you can do it harder or softer but on this bike you cant lock rear suspencion only front suspesion wich is spring not air but you can lock it but cant make it much harder or softer

      It's Decathlon own branded suspension fork, which is currently not available to purchase due to all the sh*t that happened around the world.
      Decathlon can only supply there bikes with the fork and keep aftermarket stock for warranty or replacement.
      If you own a Rockrider that needed potential replacement, then suggest you Google Search for Rockshox TK silver suspension fork as an upgrade or replacement. Suntour fork is another budget option.

    • @rroberts2023
      @rroberts2023 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The fork itself is quite serviceable for a budget fork but if you have issues you are not experienced in servicing yourself then try and get a Rockshox £200rrp TK Silver which is much higher quality sus fork that uses a straight steerer tube as opposed to most modern Sus forks that use tapered steerer.

      If you are between 2 sizes:
      Choose the smaller size for easier steering (easier to handle) and comfort (straighter back).
      Choose the larger size for easier pedalling with a more stretched-out position (position more suited to performance).

      Nothing wrong with this video when there is no legal requirement to wear a bicycle helmet.......it is a recommendation but not a legal requirement under Governing law.
      Secondly if you bothered to do your homework, this video doesn't need to meet under TH-cam strict video content requirements for kids watching this video.
      So your kids shouldn't be able to watch this video if you have content restrictions in place.
      Save you safely rant the next time you walk down the streets and see the odd kids doing wheelies and stunts without due care for their own safety and the safety of others.
