Hi all,

I've just test rode a Giant NRS1, really liked it... Except the rear deraileur kept on shifting
gears in the medium to low gear when I applied a good amount of torque when going up hill. (although
the folks at LBS says it's probably the cable stretching when new. I also test rode a Specialized
Epic. More expensive but I didn't really like the feel of it. Although I must say I tested it in the
urban environment but did jump a few stacks of stairs and other more interesting obstacles. on that
day I also tried an NRS2. Didn't liked it at all (should I say cable disk brakes sucks :p).

Anyhow, I plan to get the NRS1, any of you folks have any comments?

Ta!

Bill.

Cable stretch, then returning while you are riding the bike. BS! Cable stretch occurs, but somewhat
slowly over the first few days/weeks/months (depends on how much you ride) of the life of new
cables. Not all of the sudden when the rear suspension is activated, then returns once the
suspension stops. Several full sus bikes have had problems with "ghost shifting" when the rear is
active, but often it is caused by bad cabling on the part of the guy/gal who puts the bike together.
I've done it myself.

I'm glad you like the bike, bikes are ridden more when you like them, and IMHO, that is the most
important part of buying a new bike. But get this shifting problem fixed, you should not tollerate
it and it should be pretty easy to fix. My guess, cable housing is too short for the rear mech. near
the top tube/seat tube intersection, but I don't know the bike.

Oh, and ride the snot out of it!

IIRC, there was a problem with the NRS ghost shifting because of where the cable stops are on the
rear triangle. It is slightly pulling on the rear mech as it moved through it's travel. The fix was
to bypass these by running a continuous length of housing from the last stop on the top tube to the
rear derailleur. The SRAM ESP 1:1 actuation ratio is more immune to this effect because it requires
twice the cable pull than Shimano to shift gears.

Cable stretch happens IMMEDIATELY. It is not unlike a guitar string. When initially installed, I
like to give it an immediate heavy stretch, otherwise, you are tuning every 5 minutes for a bit.

Bike cable are not very different. The first shifts in a cables life stretches it more than at any
point in it's life. If the cables were installed, and given only a few shifts, the cables were never
stretched initially. (as I find is the case in most LBS builds)

One simple test ride in enough to put rear shifting out of wack.

Darsh your comments got me wondering for a minute there as I always thought cables stretched over
time. So I done some searching, reading and noting and found........they do stretch over time. I
cant find any references to back up that cables stretch immediately "only".

I have found through personal experience that prestretched cables do stretch slightly upon first
installation and then remain constant, was it this you were referring to?

Would be interested to know which it is.

I think Darsh's point was that normal cables /start/ stretching immediately. Usually, after a few
weeks of moderate use, a cable will have stretched to its limit.

They do stretch over time. Don't know why you put 'only' in quotes. I never said only, but I
understand your interpretation of what I wrote.

Of course all through the life of a wound cable, it will stretch. It is obvious that most of this
stretching happens when the cable is new. The stretching of the cable is not consistent throughout
it's life though.

Prestretched or not, the stretching will occur on initial use, and taper off as the steel settles in
to it's prime elasticity point. Being one of the most elastic substances on the planet, steel
naturally finds it's point of elasticity and holds it for quite some time. It does not hold it
forever, and eventually begins to stretch itself to death.

Take a new rubber band and measure it's circumference. Stretch it nice and tight and release. You
will notice the rubber band has a larger circumference than it did before the test. It did not
retain a lot of it's original elasticity. Now stretch the rubber band again. Now note the change
in circumference. The circumference is larger, but the change is not as considerable as the first
test pull.

This will continue until the rubberband breaks. Sure the rubber looses some of the elasticity as you
test it over and over, but the difference should start to look like a common logarithmic graph.

The cable or rubberband will never remain constant, it will always stretch when stressed, but the
original lose of elasticity is never matched through the life of the cable. The life of the cable
is determined by it's ability to hold it's elastic properties, or when it breaks, whatever
happens first.

Don't know if this clarifies something. I am no professor. I only have experience and opinion to
base my findings upon.

I install a new cable and ride about 50 feet down the road shifting like mad, stressing the cable.
It does not take much to stretch the perfectly adjusted, pre-stretched cable to the point of out of
adjustment shifting.

Sometimes I repeat the shifting procedure twice. I then adjust, and the shifting stays where
I want it.

Taking a bike off the rack, riding it on a test and experiencing shifting problems, seems to me a
very common experience.

"So, how did you like it?"

"Well if felt OK, but it didn't shift very well."

"Yea, that is just cable stretch, it happens with new cables. We'll set you up with a free 30-day
tune-up to correct that after the cables settle in."

What bike mechanic/salesman has not had a similar conversation?

More or less, that is certainly what I meant.

I've got an '03 NRS2. And you're right - cable mechs suck. But I must admit that I've managed to get
mine working pretty sweet right at the moment. Then again, I haven't spent nearly as much time using
hydralic brakes so I'm not 100% sure if I'm comparing them fairly. Price, and bang for buck, is the
big factor, of course. I've recently considered upgrading to Hopes or Hayes but a quick enquiry to
LBS told me that budget would be a factor for me! <laugh>

The bike itself? What can I say? I love it and recommend it. Suspension works as advertised. I do
get a tiny amount of bob when climbing sometimes if I hit just the right gear/cadence combination
and get a little harmonic going. Otherwise it's very good and handles my 195 pounds nicely. Build
quality is good. All the pieces are in the correct places (which is important). And after the first
few months maintenance has been very low and all is holding together well.

I'm inclined to put the NRS firmly in the XC category. Sure, it can take the knocks but other
bikes have more travel and are designed to to take harder hits. I wonder if your urban riding
and stair-jumping might not require something a little more robust and with a bit more
suspension travel?

Anyway, get the NRS1 if you can afford it. I would.

Thanks for your responses all of you. I went to the LBS again and placed a deposit. I was going
to buy and take home except lol, I left my credit card at home! Is this an omen or what? Now
I'm thinking should I get the Epic instead??? But tis like US$450 more. Is it more specced up
than the NRS1?

Ahhh, buyers remorse, I can feel it already!

"Cognitive dissonance" I seem to recall it being called. You'll feel great getting the Epic, but in
the end it's all about cost versus benefit. Isn't it? I could have gone out and mortgaged myself to
the hilt and got myself an Epic too. But I probably ride no better and no worse and no less and no
more because I got my NRS2. Sometimes I wonder "What if..." for sure. Buy what you can afford and
feel good about. I know that I have an awesome time on mine. Sit down and watch some TV and even
sleep on it. Ask yourself "Can I really afford this?" and " If I spend another $500 will I kick
myself in six months time for NOT spending it?" IMHO, if you bike alot, stretch yourself a bit. Just
don't stretch yourself alot and get yourself in financial strife and find yourself hating the bike
because of the money that was spent on it.

Westie

PS You can ALWAYS find a bike more specc'd up for more money. That's what this game is all about.
That's what differentiates so many frames.

Do you have any other recommendations? I'm not very familar with the current state of things since
the last mtn bike I got is in
1985/86'!!! Are you suggesting that I should get a freestyle bike? I just found out that I can
wheelie on my old bike. (Guess ole dogs can still learn new tricks :D ) I'd like to try out
more tricks which is also useful on the trail like hops and stuffs...

I've a 2002 NRS Air and although it's obviously built as a XC racing bike I've taken it through some
pretty hard hits. Mine's handled 6' drops with no problems (I usually weigh about 180) as long as
the sus is dialed in for it, same with flights of stairs. It's a sturdy bike and after two friends
saw what I put mine through they decided to get themselves one as well. So far everyone is happy
with the choice.

The NRS Air I've got has mostly stock components. (RC SID sus, f/r. XTR comps. Etc.)

Some Giant NRS's (2002's mostly?) have had a problem with ghost shifting due to flex in the
seatstay. I've had no problems with mine at all.

Check out http://www.angryasian.com/main.cfm and scroll towards the bottom for "Nov. 7, 2002 8:24:41
AM Attn: all Giant NRS owners!!!"

If the bike is new, there shouldn't be much cable stretch yet and of there is, I'd think the shop
would make the appropriate adjustments if they really planned on trying to sell it. It's bad
practice to let someone test ride a bike that doesn't work properly.

One of my riding buddies has had great fun with his, including some 4-6 foot drops. He's
6'6" 250! <G>

I've got a VT1 on order!

Holy moly. Ok, so despite my praise of the Giant NRS I think I would really have to think hard about

Eesh.

What suspension is he using?
