Diamondback Overdrive29 Questions & Answers

Front derailleur
Do you guys reckon this is strong enough for ebike kit for light off-road use? Especially the dropouts take a beat with ebike. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
I weigh 150kg. If an axel breaks due to weight but no max load mentioned in manual am i eligible for warranty.
110 kg max
just dont tell them the person riding was over 110kg
How much
How much?
$359 AUD
Just wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a weight limit to the overdrive 29?
I had a look on the warranty info that I have which is their standard info package........... no guarantees but I could not find anything in the warranty wording re any weight limits of the rider that may apply............. common sense I think needs to prevail ;)
110Kg
Im not an experimented biker and I need it to commute to my jobs ( 6 kilometers for one, 14 for the other ones - considering the full commute) Will this do the job? I dont ride too fast and I mostly use the sidewalks. Thanks for the help
Alex, I cant see why not........It hasn't let me down once in over a year......... remember you do get what you pay for, but, I cant go past it for the dinero....... you can spend a lot more but my thinking is, for what I use it for,..... if a part fails I'll just replace it as needed and I'll still be in front.
I think you'll like the 21 speed-commuting- even though its not top of the line Shimano, it is adequate....... and the big wheels, sturdy frame are all bonuses ;)
good luck
I brought two Diamondback 74cm Overdrive 29[BIG W], and built them Christmas day. both my son and future son in law rode them around the lounge room, and both said that the front forks felt like, that they were hitting metal on metal. Plus the oil breather holes at the bottom of the front forks seem to release oil. We have not touched them since and have just got back from holidays. Purchased at BIG W, Marion Westfield Adelaide SA. Can anybody help? Robin mb-0408857380
Robin......... not sure what you mean, metal on metal??........ do you mean the forks are bottoming out :o ............either way it doesn't sound kosher if oil is pumping out............. I do have a thin smear on the bottom of my forks as well to be honest but nothing to say I'd have a drip on the floor or anything.
A stupid question maybe but..... have the forks been assembled to the headstock/ bars the right way round...... easy mistake to make ;)
It might be a case of warranty call mate......... let me know... interested
Would like to replace brakes, gears and crank.
Where can I get this gear from at a good price?
Brakes - external link
All other items will be on eBay...
On Ebay also Cell Bicycles
Thanks guys
Good Job
Ask the bike mechanic at the place of purchase. Diamondback also have a website. You can order directly from them.
Does this bike have quick release front wheel??
Yes
Yes it does
Does the new blue and white diamondback 29er have a threadless head stem as the bike on display does but have heard the one in the box doesn't
I'd have to have a look. I'm not sure.
