First time at a bike park and Antur stiniog did not dissapoint! Worthy place for experienced or inexperienced riders. Sorry for lack of any commentary as my only concern was having fun. Sorry for the wind noise at the top, it was a very windy day, wind noise calms down as we get lower! Most of these are either blind runs.... or runs i've done once but forgotten in the excitement!

    I’m just in the middle ov upgrading my current mtb to a newer one. I’ve seen a few on the CRC website I’ve never brought anything from them before. Always got my bikes from Halfords and always pick the bike up from the shop so I can inspect the bike before I leave. But with crc they are in Ireland and I’m in the uk. So I’m having to really think long and hard about buying a bike from crc. Hope you get your bike sorted the scratches on it are shocking to say the least.

I had a bad experience yes, others have had good experiences, and in all fairness i bought a vitus nucleus vrs and it arrived properly packaged and in perfect working order. I also bought my e-bike nearly 2 years ago now so i've added plenty more scratches/war wounds to it 😂

    Just bought a bike from them shipped all the way to Canada. Saw a small scratch on the frame but didn't mind that. When I put it together I can see both the front and back wheels leaning towards one side of the fork and frame. Freak me out as I thought I recieved a bent bike and it'll be a nightmare for me to deal with this across the pond. Good thing is upon further inspection I just have 2 dished wheels despite they have a check list inside the box marking that both wheels are true. It's really a hit and miss when ordering from them. My wheel issues are minor it's an easy fix but your case is just unacceptable with broken parts all over the place.

    @bagelmaster0531 Рік тому

    Mate, stop hating on CRC. I have been buying from them for years and have never had an issue with them. You had issues with the curriers, not the shop. If you look at any big company there will be horror stories about things arriving damaged, 99% of the time it is not the seller that is the issue. I mean look at amazon for example; I have bought countless items from amazon and I know very well the annoyance that comes from opening a box that you've been looking forward to for ages and seeing it damaged and broken, yet it was always the currier not the company. It will be an issue not with the seller but with the currier.

    • @rickiclarke8154
      @rickiclarke8154 Рік тому

      Mate... your responding to a near 2 year old video. It was nothing to do with the couriers, not sure about the curriers, might of had a vindaloo. People like you with your brand loyalty love to blame the couriers for everything, i get it, honestly i do. But the facts are very simple. To have been cosmetically damaged like that would of needed an impact. Now this is where i don't understand you. The box, and the foam wrapping where the damage is, was undamaged, not even marked. It was also very well wrapped in the place of most of the damage around the downtube. If there had been an impact big enough to damage the box and go through the wrapping, i'd be looking at a damaged frame, not just paint. I expect the bike was leant up against something, and slipped during the pre post check, the way the paint is damaged shows this. Now the most likely underpaid employee of your fav brand probably didn't check/care for the damage, wrapped it up and sent it out, you can tell this as there very little care for the cables hence them pulled out which was all under the wrapping. I still use CRC, they are good vast majority of the time. However, with bikes, i wouldn't put them as great. My escarpe in 2011 came with an unbled rear brake, and my recent nucleus vrs came with an unadjusted rear mech, despite check sheet saying this had been done, i'm assuming you would still blame the courier in this case? And yes i am an expert in transit damage, i work in logistics for white and brown goods. Very little is done by couriers, it's actually quite hard for a courier to damage a big item, they usually look after themselves. Small items, do get transit damaged regularly, it happens. Your just thinking the products journey starts and ends with the couriers, it doesn't, starts several thousand miles away. Even if you still want to blame the couriers, CRC still have a big portion of the blame due to poor packaging, couriers can't do much about that. You package to prevent transit damage, that is the entire point of packaging. My £500 nucleus came much better packaged than my £4k e-bike by a big margin. And my regular bike by Bird came even better packed than both of them put together.

  • @ronzomass
    @ronzomass Рік тому

    Very disappointed for you, Ricki. Seems almost unbelievable that this bike has been sent out. Clearly, there's been a serious fault with quality control during your purchase process. As a new owner of a Vitus bought through CRC and wishing to offer some positives. I've saw CRC in a much better light and extremely quick to take ownership of an issue and its resolution. Anyway, personally, I can't fault they're service as a whole, though I have the advantage of CRC in Belfast local for me and possibly providing a much more personalised service, than that of the online service. Anyway, I hope you got sorted and are now back in the saddle.

    • @rickiclarke8154
      @rickiclarke8154 Рік тому

      Hi thanks, it was dissapointing, especially as the bike rides so well too, if it was in the condition it should have arrived in that would of been the icing on the cake! I've found CRC pretty good with smaller items, and my first Vitus i bought nearly 12 years ago was great. I have recently bought another Vitus bike but more info about that soon on my channel!

    Great to see trails at Dyfi being done at that speed. Would be good to show the camera looking back up the bits that you walked down to give viewers a sense of how steep and technical it is (and it is). It would also help others that have not had the confidence to look at Race Track yet. Love Dyfi - it's an amazing place to ride.

Yes it had minor scratches on where the box was damaged but nothing to right home to. However. I did have to reroute the cables as they were rubbing on the chian ring. Had the bike a year now and its been a good bike. I've since added to the scratches so I'm over it now.

      in case you didn't notice, this was 11 months ago... think i've chilled out since then 😂 And no their warranty department is awfull, basically wanted to fob me off with vouchers and to pay my lbs to repair, rather than get a new spray job done on it and repair it themselves.

      @@rickiclarke8154 fair enough… CRC have been spot on with our crowd… who all have E Sommets. No complaints! There have been multiple warranty claims for various bikes / parts over the years with nay issue.

      @@WhoisD.O.U.G i've had a mixed reaction, some good experiences and some bad. I used to have a really good experience with them from about 2010/11 when i bought my first vitus from them, and used them for various bits and pieces up to 2019. Then i started getting £100's of bike gear left on my doorstep when they delivered next day despite me not choosing it, or i've had faulty products come through which should have been weeded out. The bike was the last straw from me. They are now my last resort place to go, although usually out of stock of most important stuff!
