Like the other reviewer, I actually had my first puncture in my first week! And it was caused by the tiniest of thorns! I pulled out a minuscule plant thorn that had gone through both tire and inner tube. The studs for mounting rear rack are M5, maybe M6 would have been a little sturdier? I like the bike, but wish the rake was a bit steeper!

Worse bike i have ever owned. Chain constantly comes off, been back to the shop a few times and despite this the Chain still comes off, cannot recommend the bike or the shop I bought it from

I bought this bike for my son, it was more or less configured out of the box. But after the first trips, my son began to complain about spontaneous gear changes. I tried it myself and made sure of it. The cheapest MicroShift system spoils the impression of the bike. I will have to change it.

Super cool bike!

This bike is gorgeous. Looks gorgeous and rides like a dream. Built like a tank. I'm not basing this review on how many punctures I get, which so far is one. Or just on one part of the bike such as the tyres, but the bike as a whole. If I were to get another puncture though I would blame the cleanliness and condition of the ride surface and/or myself, not the bike. You should not review a bike on how many punctures you get, because that is generally the riders fault for not paying attention to the surroundings when riding. Great bike, you will not be disappointed!

I'm not a keen cyclist by any stretch of the imagination, I just got this to commute to work and back. But I got a flat tyre on each of the first three rides I had on this bike and had to buy better tyres. No flats since.
