I feel this bike is the type of bike you get as an introduction into cycling, or to supplement your bike collection for that one you just pick up and go without too much thought for the short coffee rides. We have had one piece of maintenance in the two years, which was a faulty disc pad, which kent electric bike was our fault for incorrect storage over a long period. You should have your bike serviced regularly if you ride regularly. We aim to get fast fix jobs i.e. smaller repairs completed and straight back out where-ever possible. Yes but please check directly with your local store for availability.
Perhaps I am doing them a disservice and they can equally maintain disc as they can rim brakes. They work well and are no concerns, and this shouldn’t be a factor against the bike. Comparatively to the other Marin bikes we kent hybrid bike have used in the past the volume of use this bike has had, and the type of riding we do on it, we haven’t trashed it as much as the others. As a result the bike still looks and performs as you would expect due to this.
We traditionally ride road and gravel bikes and with that comes a certain type of saddle, which if you get it right is absolutely fine. However, when you are presented with the La-z-Boy style saddle that comes as standard on the Kentfield you are spoilt with how comfortable a large padded seat can be. Here at Halfords we take pride in the bikes we design, build and sell and are happy that all of our
bikes are of the highest qualty. That’s why we offer a Limited Lifetime Guarantee on the frame and
rigid forks of all Halfords and Halfords exclusive brand’s for the original owner. On top of this, we also cover all other components on the bike for 1 year unless the manufacturer
states otherwise.
If you wish to have any work completed we will be book you in at the earliest available opportunity, but this may not be the same-day. Yes, however we are unable to work on any non-Halfords electric bike where we need to complete electrical work, as this is due to access to spare parts and often voiding the manufactures warranty. We can still complete mechanical work on non-Halfords electric bikes. I hope that they have really switched-on transport consultants on board, who can help resolve the outstanding concerns.
There are mounts for bottle cages, mudguards and a kickstand – all you could possible need to attach to the bike. This makes it even more practical and ready for comfortable dry riding. The brakes a mechanical disc brakes which work absolutely fine. My only concern would be the ability for the average at-home mechanic to service and fix these should they go wrong, or to perform some basic maintenance along the way.
Brompton is yet to respond to road.cc’s request for comment, though we have been told that the company has now provided the necessary information requested by National Highways, addressing the traffic body’s objections. We have been very impressed and happy with the Kentfield and it offers that easy Sunday coffee stop bike ride on an awesome looking ride. I gauge practicality from a standpoint that when I take it out the box, how much more work do I need to do, and how many things do I need to change? The only addition was some plug-on universal mudguards that I attached.
