  • Hi all
    I have tried a charge plug in small, medium and large, and I can fit on and ride all three quite comfortably. I'm 5ft 10". I was going to get a medium, but would there be any benefit in getting a small or a large frame? I've seen some people on here talk about riding smaller bikes - I was just wondering if there was any particular benefit.

    Get someone in a shop that knows to fit you the right size. There is one.

    Could I use the carbon fork and seat post from my langster in order to make the bike lighter and for a more comfortable ride? Or could I buy just the frame of the plug and use the parts from my Langster to finish it off?

    Maybe, but if you're buying a new bike I assume you;re selling the old thus better to sell complete.

    I have seen a few second hand plugs for sale. Is there any particular benefit with buying a brand new bike? From what I've read, the Plug is pretty much indestructable.

    Indestructable no, hard wearing and built like a tank yes. Obv. with a new bike you get manufacturers warranty. Even if the bike you buy is under warranty it's valid ONLY for original owner.

    When looking at a second hand bike, is there any way to check that it hasn't been stolen? I called up my local police station to ask them to check a serial number on a bike I had seen for sale on gumtree as it was quite a young person selling it, and they seemed to know very little about the bike - not even the size! The police station said they couldn't check, so I've been googling for an online database but can't seem to find anything.

    Talk to the dude about the bike, if he's shifty about where he got it from, what changes hes made, how it rides or it looks like it's been hidden away for a while. Dont buy.
