Leader bikes

Submitted by Indians44987 on 09/12/2009.

Trust me, you will regret your decision to buy a leader. I know I did. They are creaky and made of low grade aluminium.

really?

Submitted by Chipp on 09/18/2009.

frames dont creak man. wrong bottom bracket tapers and loose crank arms bolts are what make noise. and 6061 aluminum is alllll the same alloy. so you cant get low grade 6061 aluminum. stop hatin. go ride

6061 Aluminum....

Submitted by Indians44987 on 10/05/2009.

is low grade compared to higher end track frames that use 7000 series aluminum or stronger blends of alloys on their top of the line frames. I had a Leader, I know what the bike feels like. My creaking came from my seattube, not my crank bolts or bb. I actually had the frame that was supposed to be better than yours. Yours is the knock off FTP (725tr) with bad geometry. I had the Leader 735tr. I now have a langster and its almost silent when I ride, unlike the leader which was absurdly loud and felt flexy.

My Leader's quiet as hell.

Submitted by soulbyte on 10/21/2009.

My Leader's quiet as hell. If you use the right parts, tune it correctly and grease where you're supposed to, I'm pretty sure yours would be quiet too. As far as bad geometry? There might have been a bad batch in early 09, but has been fixed since. Every new company will go through trial and error before they get it right. I suggest to stop going off what everyone ses and stop coming to conclusions. Stop hating and ride, Leader frames are better quality than a lot of the POS frames I've seen on here for a great price.

NIce bike man, screw them haters.

just like the volume cutter v3 you cant fit 28s in the rear without the axle being dangerously close to the end of the dropouts.

cant compare 7005 alumiminum

Submitted by Chipp on 10/21/2009.

cant compare 7005 alumiminum with 6061. its obviously a STRONGER grade. 6061 isnt low grade aluminum. although i doubt you notice on the street. bad geometry? opposed to what? affinity lo pro? and your creaking came from your seat post? or the rails on your seat? haha frame dont creak ill say it again. components do.
