Riding this machine for a couple of months. It's light, fast and fun. The only trouble I am having is on slightly techy decents 😩
Did you set the tyres up tubeless? Doing so can really let you get the pressure right for the best traction and confidence. We'd also suggest upgrading to a dropper post - it makes a big difference!
hello there, am from india and i have been riding this bike for a couple of months now....couldnt disagree to anything thats been said about this bike in this video.... its a gr8 set of wheels perfevt for the kid within you come alive whenever, wherever !! Well done Marin !!
I have a question from any othe owners who have this bike....can you guys help me with a side stand recommendation for this bike? The stem is way too thick for the side stands available here in india....would be grateful if anyone can help me out on this ....
Happy Riding Folks!!
Good review! I have my eye one this but the sizes are limited stock at the moment. Im on the cusp between L>XL annoyingly. I reckon I need an L. I saw you are riding 'L', how tall are you out of interest?
178cm with lanky arms and a 760mm seat height, which was near max on the post.
That is the older seatstay design that is prone to cracking. Wonder why they didn't send you the upgraded, more enforced, frame design that Marin put out to help with the cracking.
Is that not only on the Team Marin 2…?
@@danielfl.9347 They are the same frames. Just different paint.
@@JasonScottCarter Thanks. So it's a bad idea to buy one used from 2021?
I have written to Marin many times, but they don't even get back to me. I am perhaps a bit afraid of this company, if they can't even answer a "to-be" costumer. What about when you have bought the product.
@@danielfl.9347 They expect you to work with their dealers. They are not consumer direct. I wouldn't buy a used one personally. I had bought one from a dealer and it took months for a warranty replacement.
@@JasonScottCarter Damn, good to know. I think I will stick to Trek.
Marin have no official dealers in Denmark - only online partners.
Very sad that this company does not take itself more serious.
It sounded like you said that if I wear out a front chain ring I would need a new frame. That is bomkers, Is that accurate?
Ok - no. If you wear out a chain ring you will likely need a new crank set as we couldn't find an easy way to replace it.
I was under the impression the chainring is a direct mount, and replaced from the rear of the drive crank...
Yes but the tool interface needs to be available as well.
Sir how much the marin frame small size.
All sizes have the same price
And the weight is ,,,,?
