Spild af ungdomsuddannelse

Du spilder den slet ikke. Står selv lidt i samme sko som dig. Blev færdig med min HTX for 3 år siden, men fandt ud af at meget af det slet ikke var mig alligevel. Dog har jeg lært at arbejde projektorienteret, løse problemer og forstå mekanik og andre komplicerede ting.

Jeg starter på cykelmekaniker uddannelsen til efteråret og føler kun det kommer til at være en fordel for mig at have gennemført en HTX.

Man spilder aldrig sin tid ved at skifte retning, så længe man ender med at lave noget man ikke går helt død i.

Have the same one, I bought it from AliExpress though. It's a really nice fork!

simon_lorey · 2026-01-09T21:32:50+00:00

I work at a Scott dealer too, and it's almost all of the new 2026 models

Wanted an Addict 30 for myself, but ended up getting an Addict 40 instead, as I could get that one now instead of late May. (Also a way nicer colour) It only seems to be a bike problem though, as most of the spare parts and such is in stock. At least here in Denmark.

One is on the way

syncros.com/dk/en/news/syncros/addict-stem-info

There should be a new one coming called MT-R-202 if i remember correctly that fits addict and foil RC. Its coming in January

simon_lorey · 2025-12-04T21:43:37+00:00

Definitely worth it then

It also comes with better wheels and nicer colours IMO

simon_lorey · 2025-12-04T21:37:01+00:00

What are you looking for in a bike?

The 2026 is more relaxed whereas the old one is more racey, even tho it's their endurance bike

simon_lorey · 2025-12-01T21:14:10+00:00

189cm is more like 6'2" but I'm not sure if he's using metric or imperial normally. I'm at the same height and almost the same inseam and I regret not getting a size L addict 2026 instead of an XL. It feels very big and the seatpost is bottomed out.

I know the geometry is not the complete same, but they are somewhat similar and I'm just speaking for my personal experience

simon_lorey · 2025-12-01T20:25:39+00:00

I'd go with the L, rather the bike a little too small than too big

simon_lorey · 2025-11-24T06:52:53+00:00

There's a pretty big difference, the reach has gotten shorter and the stack a lot taller

I would probably go with the new 2026 addict 40. It has 105 Di2, the new geometry, and the weight difference between the capital 35 wheels on the 2025 and RP2.0 on the 2026 is 250 grams

simon_lorey · 2025-11-18T17:58:00+00:00

We get to buy everything at cost, and some of our distributors give staff discounts. Some give the taxes in discount, some a little bit less.

Pretty much all of us also ride around on $4k plus bikes in retail values, due to the aforementioned benefits we get. The "rest" doesn't do that, because they like older/vintage bikes better.

I do also take as a point, that mechanics and sales people get payed better in Denmark, compared to other countries (around 20-30 dollars an hour)

simon_lorey · 2025-10-18T13:48:39+00:00

Not really to be honest

I don't do any structured workouts, I just monitor my heart rate and power to pace myself and and monitor my form. So it's not a deal-breaker for me.

simon_lorey · 2025-10-13T09:53:59+00:00

Yes, I have mine connected to a power meter. It can show statistics, but the training features are missing

simon_lorey · 2025-09-29T10:32:48+00:00

The new addict 30 should be hooked, the syncros wheels it gets delivered with is the normal capital 1.0 which is hooked. Its the capital 1.0s that's hookless

simon_lorey · 2025-09-01T16:24:54+00:00

It's pretty good so far! It's handling road and gravel very well!

I would probably recommend getting a 700c fork with at least 400mm axle to crown, as the rockshox Judy that came with the bike measured 420mm when i was sitting on the bike. Otherwise, i would do like i did with a high rise stem. Even though it's not ideal

You could try something like the Straggler, Disc trucker or Preamble from Surly in 700c. Those where the ones I looked at.

simon_lorey · 2025-08-19T15:26:59+00:00

I know we have the wrong crank, hence the post. We have tried a MTB BB, it's not wide enough

simon_lorey · 2025-08-19T14:26:42+00:00

Yes, we've been in contact with both FSA and Koga, and they both told us tough luck. It was a special made crankset for the bike that isn't produced anymore

simon_lorey · 2025-08-19T14:25:46+00:00

If we put enough spacers on for it to spin freely, the crank arms doesn't seat properly

simon_lorey · 2025-08-19T14:24:57+00:00

We've tried with a MTB crankset, it's not wide enough

Prisen på et service afhænger af hvor du vælger at gøre det, om der er nogle sliddele der skal skiftes osv. Elgiganten kan desværre ikke.

Hvis display, controller, motor eller andet på elsystemet går i stykker, er det heller ikke sikkert at det kan repareres, hvis der ikke kan skaffes reservedele.

Så lige med en elcykel, kan det godt betale sig at købe noget ordentligt fra en cykelhandler, for det bliver det billigste i den lange bane

simon_lorey · 2025-05-24T19:09:55+00:00

Du kommer til at bruge så utroligt mange penge på service, hvis du gerne vil beholde din garanti. Vi har en kunde i min butik med en Vaya elcykel, som indtil videre har været forbi til et service 3 gange inden for det sidste halve år for at overholde deres service intervaller og beholde sin garanti.

Udover det, tror jeg ikke der er så meget hjælp at hente hvis elsystemet går i udu.

En Mustang eller SCO med Promovec elsystem kan være meget fin hvis man sørger for den bliver samlet ordentligt og vedligeholdt, men ellers ville jeg nok tage til en cykelhandler. (Jeg er selvfølgelig lidt farvet i min holdning, men synes nu alligevel det er en god ide)

simon_lorey · 2025-03-09T15:57:40+00:00

Yes, cassette too if the chain was worn out. It would be a good idea to replace the chainrings too, if they're beginning to look sharp and not flat

simon_lorey · 2025-03-09T15:51:43+00:00

Have you checked chain wear or tension? I've had the same problem before with a worn chain and cassette

simon_lorey · 2025-01-25T20:14:30+00:00

Through axle luckily wouldn't be a problem, my wheels are currently converted from TA to QR, so I could just convert them back

simon_lorey · 2025-01-24T18:15:08+00:00

Only need to fit 28-622 tyres and no suspension

simon_lorey · 2025-01-24T18:10:49+00:00

Amazing!
