Triban 3 Owners Club

My bikes due for it's 6 month service (bought end of Jan). I wonder if it can be done while I wait, as I'm not sure I want to go down on consecutive weekends for drop off and pickup. No issues atm as far as I can tell. What have others done?

New T3 purchased today from Warrington Decathlon store.
Impressed with the bike, and impressed with the in-store service.

Really like the look of the red & black brifters. Might check out the Microshift ones since I'm getting irritated by the 2300s on my Red T3.

Just did my rear hub. Was expecting it to be harder than the front. But pretty much the same. Apart from removing cassette. I can never seen to get the chain whip on the right way the first 50 tries.

I arrange for mine to be done whilst I waited. We went off and had a wander around some other shops for a while. Ring the store and speak with the manager. make the arrangements and if there are any issues with the bike (creaky BB or such like) let them know when you book it in.

Six month service? I didn't get told about that, I've had mine for 10 months and it could be doing with a service!

If you have got a decathlon card they say that is your proof of purchase/receipt no need to hold on the paper bit.

 

[Duckehhh]

decathlon would probably do the service now anyway. if you said you didn't know/wasn't told

 

[Radchenister]

Yeah, consumer power, lie to the capitalist pig suppliers, power to the people !

OOI are the clearances for 25mm tyres any better on the larger frame sizes e.g. 60cm. Where are the main restrictions? The b'twin brakes? Not gone to 25mm yet, but think I will have to, to save being shaken to pieces on the roads here.

yep - brake are the biggest issue, but I have 25c tyres on my 54cm frame and my OH as them on his 60cm frame without issues, so should not be a major problem for you if you don't have mudguards.

Thanks SNSSO. May just have to ditch the crudcatcherRRs for while.

The day you take them off. It will p**s down. I took off my front off. And didn't realise how useful the front guard is.

Does anyone know if the following brake pads fit the Triban, looking to get some better pads and hear good things about these Kool Stop ones?
