stretchie said on 15 October 2011
Nearly as good as mine :) cracking spec. I've read your seatpost has gone tits up aswell mine went after about 2 months excellant when they work but wayyyy too unreliable. I've been hearing good things about the new giant seatpost prob try one of those. Did the 2010 come with tapered headtube and maxle? mine did god knows if it's made a massive difference never ridden any other five's Either way best bike I've owned looking forward to getting it resprayed and a longer fork new drivetrain put on.
stretchie replied... on 20 October 2011
A bit pricey not that bad though suppose cheaper than a new fork and shock though
pigman65 replied... on 17 October 2011
i think it's £260 forks ,£160 shock,so its £220 more than a service,good value ,i'll let you know when i get them back
stretchie replied... on 15 October 2011
What's the service and kashima coating cost? I need to get mine done. Hope you don't mind me asking
pigman65 replied... on 15 October 2011
Reverb came back from Rockshox having been overhauled,went back there again after two rides,the thing is shit,good when it works but too unreliable to use.Mines a 2011 ,i just got it early.I've just sent the forks and shock off to MOjo to get them Kashima upgraded,works out at a really good price over standard service charge.

oodboo said on 23 August 2011
I always wonder if I should've got one of these instead of my enduro. Top spec as well, I'd be wanting to go double up front with a chain guide for the extra security. Crackin' bike though, enjoy.
pigman65 replied... on 23 August 2011
It doesn't matter which bike you get, you'll always have doubts about it ! I tried the double but it made the new XT crank set look pants!

Awesome 5, its nice to see one that isnt stock! And being able to fit a Reverb is good with the new models.
pigman65 replied... on 23 August 2011
i disagree,it's worse than your Joplin !!!
antop34 replied... on 23 August 2011
not heard of any reliability issues with them, thats a first! Cant be as bad as my joplin though!!
pigman65 replied... on 22 August 2011
Reverb is v good when it works,it's not been too reliable tbh.
