I have bought from this company…
I have bought from this company before,I bought a E2S V2 LR with air tyres. After 13 months with numerous punctures, crashes,it was running a little rough, i decided to have it checked and get solid tyres mounted. It was better for me to invest an extra 1000dkk and buy a new E2S V2 LR
I went to the Aarhus store, instead of ordering online. I was looked after by Anosh whose service was friendly, informative and no sales pressure. I eventually left the shop with the E2S V3 with solid tyres . This is the updated version of my previous purchase and has shocks front and back. This meant an extra 1300dkk extra on top of what i would have had to pay my old model to be checked.
For me personally I wonder if it was worth buying the newer model because I feel like the solid tyres have cancelled any benefits of the shocks. This is my transport to work and general zooming around my town which has good bike lanes and very few bumps I have to worry about.
My reasons are
1. A harder riding experience. You can feel the surface of the road/bike lane a lot more with solid tyres
2 a loss of grip which can be challenging in wet weather conditions.
3. A loss of grip also means you lose some of the acceleration when you start and it takes a little longer to reach full speed. For me this is also noticeable on the hills of hell in my town.
Non of the above reasons for my displeasure are an unknown phenomenon but are well documented online so I was not totally surprised,only surprised at how much it changed the ride experience which saddened me a little.But then I remember the problems of repairing punctures and think "ok, I will take the trade off"
Overall I am still happy to give 5* and return at a later date
