sorted byI’m no expert and was just seeing if the extra worth it for reasonably light use.
Thanks
Balfes didnt charge me and dealt with halfords directly to convert the voucher.
The fork is actually a very good one if you are prepared to do the upgrade to oil and then look after it.
The best cheap upgrade you can do is buy some tubeless valves and sealant at the same time.
Just watched this video and looks great
dont get anything cheaper. this should be where bikes begin.
VITUS, is fast becoming the real deal.
Worth mentioning not to panic buy. As much as it is a good deal, both the VR and VRS have been at their respective sale price for ages now. (edited)
I am not very savvy with bikes and was wondering if those who are knowledgeable on it know of any alternatives at Halfords, Tredz, and others that are as good at this Vitus and around the same price or say £100 more, please?
How does this compare the with Trek Marlin 6, for example: trekbikes.com/gb/…ght
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. (edited)
