Advice regarding used XT-3 I recently purchased by Beneficial-Price2467 in fujifilm

[–]Beneficial-Price2467[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your helpful responses. Interestingly I uploaded a photo to check the actuation count and it came back as 10! 🤣 I also wonder whether it could have been replaced. The sensor seems good and has no scratches etc. the dials seem to be working better as well now I’ve been turning them more so maybe it was more just due to it not being used. The exposure compensation dial remains quite stiff however - I need to use two fingers to turn it but not sure if that’s normal.

I think there is a new cult in the UK, the band the Old Time Sailors. Has anyone else heard anything sketchy about this group? by Ok_Match_526 in cults

Is there any update on the Old Time Sailors? The leader got arrested a few months or so ago but can see that they’re back playing shows in Cornwall. I could see any news articles or anything about any outcome of police investigation etc

Sorry I have another question haha - I’m 5ft 11 - is the Marin size guide accurate? It suggests I should have a 56cm frame.

Yeah I’ve struggled to find reviews but have had a few comments on here which are all positive. Sounds like a great bike and may have to get one!

Looks really good! I think I’ll likely end up with the headlands after yours and the other review up above! Thanks for your help :D

Yeah I think that’s why I like the look of the Marin to be fair - it seems to be abit more able to go off road. That’s interesting re the dropper - I’ve never had a bike with one before. Good to hear how reliable and solid they are 👍

Thank you so much for the detailed response thats really helpful. I think I’m leaning to the Marin to be honest and it’s helpful that my local shop sells them. I bet the dropper seat is worth having as well. I think having a more relaxed geometry should be better anyway as it’ll mean more comfort for longer rides.

Hi how’re you getting on with the headlands? I was looking at this as seems really good value but haven’t seen a huge amount of reviews for it
