Hello, welcome back! I am often asked about my Marin Four Corners Elite so I figured that after riding and abusing it for the past couple of years it is time for a long term review. Hope you find this informative.

    Dude I bought this bike and had no clue if it was any good or where it stands compared to other bikes, all I know is I enjoy riding it, and I ride it everywhere, thanks for the review bro.

    Nice review, laughed out loud at "it's a fookin bike!". I don't suppose you could show how you fitted the mudguards around the disc brakes could you? I have the cheaper version of this bike, which is fairly similar but I can't work out how to get the rear sks over the massive 40mm tyre with disc!

    I’m still a pretty novice rider. I own this bike and have been having problems with flats on the back tire. Is it worth getting tubeless tires or is it most likely my riding posture? Thanks great review!

    How worn is the tyre? It sounds like it might be time for a new one, you could go tubeless but a decent set of tyres will reduce the chance of punctures greatly. 👍🏼

    I personally wouldn’t run a 1x11 groupset on a road bike. The jumps between gears are too big for me, they are fine if I’m riding gravel or commuting but not for racing. If you’re just going to be commuting on it then I’d definitely consider it.
