Bought a XR 5.9 from Paul's Cycles back in March. It's done around 300 miles now mostly in dry conditions and the rear wheel bearings seem to have gone. I've contacted Paul's who have offered a £25 'goodwill' gesture towards the repair (4 bearings in rear wheel and freewheel) because apparently bearings only have a 90 day guarantee, something ive not even heard i
O
of before - suppose it sums up the quality if thats all they give. also contacted Lapierre's UK distributor who couldn't even be bothered and referred me back to Paul's. For wheel bearings to go so soon is nothing I've heard of before. There also seems to be issues with a rear suspension pivot constantly loosening itself off and much cracking from the rear suspension despite everything repeatedly being torqued up.
All in all not a quality product and one to avoid.
