2003 RM ETSX
I own a Rocky ETSX 50, 2003 model. I have had a lot of trouble with ghost
shifting as have 2 of my colleagues who ride the same bike. My LBS tells me that they have had many problems with this bike, as do the non-RM dealers in town, and a RM dealer I spoke to outside of town. The RM rep tells me that this is not a common problem with this model, and I am wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. In fairness to Rocky Mountain Bicycles, they have been excellent in addressing my concerns. They are replacing my frame with a 2005 model. They say that the 05 has a stiffer frame so frame flex will be less of an issue. I am wondering if it is worth asking for the new carbon fibre rear triangle (spec'd on the ETSX 90) as I suspect this is stiffer yet. I worry that since carbon fibre is not used by RM much (? at all) before, that I will end up having durability issues with a CF rear end. Any thoughts? |

Carbon fibre on the rear of a bike with that much travel would scare the
crap outta me. Could be unfounded but when I bottom out a bike hard I am glad I don't have carbon. |
