Got one SGS World Cup Downhill frame and I just can`t believe how bad they are!!!
The geometry of the frame is too bad to be true. Even with my 7 inch Boxxer with a taller crown the head tube angle is very steep making the bike unrideble on turns and drops. The wheel base is too short making the bike very unstable.
All the pivots, links and even the rear wheel axel developed a huge play making the rear wheel to twist all over.
All right that Iron Horse Downhill team had amazing results last year but we all know that the racing bikes are diferent from the bikes that are sold to public.
The Iron Horse dealer here in Brazil was a liar. The frame suposed to arrive in one week but just arrived in one month.
- I recieved the frame with a wrong ahead set (it suposed to be a Cane Ceeek Pro and came with a FSA) so the Iron Horse dealer lied to me.
- The frame came without some bolts and spacers. Yes missing parts!
- The frame came without any owners manual, recipt or nothing that could prove that it was a legal sale and that I have any warranty.
- The 5th element shock came with the spring with scracthes that looks it has been used and the body of the shock also came with many signals that is has been used.
- Instead of a 2004 model they sent me a 2003 model that everybody knows that has a link that crack.
- The frame that I recieved has the stickers of the 2003 model but the pivot points are from the 2004 model what makes me real confused about what bike I have.
Sent an e-mail to Iron Horse Costumers Service complaining about the frame and the way that it was sold to me and got no answer.
Why Iron Horse don`t care about his clientes???
Thank you very much
