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.

Thank you, I use one by Pure.
what is the reference and the brand of your mudguards for your four corner marine bike? I can't find a compatible mudguard. thank you
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!

Thank you. I had to use smaller tyres, I can’t run 40c and mudguards 😞
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. 👍🏼

Dave Noakes thanks Dave I think it’s time to go tubeless
Hi Dave, i just own a marin fourconers bike. I just realize its come with 700cx42 tires, and i saw yours fit with a fender. Did you change you tires? Or Do you have any suggestion for a fender which can fit to 42 tires? Thanks before😄

Hey Dave i have been contemplating changing my road bikes components from Shimano Ultegra groupset to Sram rival 1x what do you think of a 1x on a road bike specifically fuji roubaix 1.2 le 2017
@DaveNoakes

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.

"It's a f*ckin' bike and it's got wheels on it. And it's got that much room between the two wheels..." My style of review. Tells me what I need to know and not too technical.

@@DaveNoakes Hi! Almost :) I preorder a new bike - Marin Nicasio. But I can get it only in next spring. This 2019 season was "epic" - it was only 800 km on my strava. "Epic fail". Hope next year will be great from this side :)
Thanks for other english class. 🏴☠️
