I’ve ordered a new rear derailleur as recommended as shortening the chain didn’t work. In the meantime I swapped the dual chainring to a single SRAM cog. That’s fixed the problem as there is no...

I’d recommend a Carbon bike. If you’re on the heavy side you could do with something strong and light like Carbon.

Lockout out forks

I’ve had a few SR Suntour forks the wouldn’t unlock. I had to scrap them. I had this with Rockshox once but was able to strip them down and fix them.
