Triban RC120 Flat Bar Disc Brake Road Bike

My opinion after about 8 months. I was looking for a bike for every day (vélotaf and other), fun, to pedal 70% of the time in town. I don't regret this choice: road bike and straight handlebars (in town more practical than a drop bar). Still, I regret not having been able to spend 200€ more for the superior model, the Microshift mechanical part does the job, but clearly lacks precision and it rattles compared to Shimano and it sings more (even after adjustment, the mine or that of the Decat mechanic). You shouldn't ask too much of him in terms of abrupt and rapid reactivity either. However, is this a disaster in daily use? No, it runs well and we have fun once we get used to the beast. The saddle is OK. The cockpit is comfortable, we appreciate the horns to change posture, less the ergonomic handles (not my thing). RAS on the brake part, except the rear brake which loosened a lot until the cable was on the verge of breaking completely (2 wires remained on the cable; free change carried out by the cycle workshop). Note that adjusting the positions of the brake handles and especially the derailleur levers in relation to your fingers is strongly recommended. This allowed me to largely resolve the problem of precision of the derailleur levers on this bike. Good size hanger for sneaking around. The 28 width of the tire is perfect for the city, a good compromise between good riding and comfort, but those supplied lack grip on descents or on wet surfaces (no surprise). I also like the weight for lifting it. In the end I will upgrade it (already starting with the pedals) and I don't regret my purchase, only not being able to spend €1000 on a bike all at once. Despite these current flaws I know that he will take me far. Anyway I gave it a name, I can't abandon it like that. NB: Decathlon support is not great, instead of videos I would prefer a good PDF (in French plz) with all the information on my purchased bike and how to make adjustments and other repairs. EX1: to adjust/remove the brake pad instead of your video which does not correspond to the model, I had to watch a video from an Italian mechanic (thanks to him). EX2: I came across other owners of the bike who, like me, at first did not understand that despite 2 chainrings, the front derailleur does have 3 positions. Yes sorry not sorry but despite my practice of mountain biking (3 chainrings: 3) I am not at all up to date on bike mechanics (now yes :'D). So since no one in the store informs us, good documentation can save us. EX3: see above derailleurs adjustment.

Racing bike that with gravel tires and inner tubes (I mounted a 700x38) can also be used on dirt roads.

Hello, I'll give you my opinion on the article. Just 1 month ago I picked up the bike from Decathlon (my mistake was not having asked the seller to check the condition of the NEW bike). The following week I had a very serious accident (because of) cycling. I went to see the salesman today who told me “you have to pay to change the brake pads because they are “old””. 2 week old platelet, leading to a serious accident?? So I had a serious accident because my pads were old even though I only used my bike 20 minutes a day to go study in a hospital. And he adds “you must pay the costs for this repair” even though it has only been 1 month since I received the bike. “Otherwise I can take it back from you for €250 used”!! Seriously when I paid €550 for it just 1 month ago?? I am on the verge of filing a complaint for endangering the lives of others at Decathlon; especially how you are treated in the end. I, who previously worked for Decathlon, find this scandalous.

light and good handling on the road

Being used to straight handlebars I liked this bike. I have not had such a good bike until now and I can only enjoy spending with it.

When I'm a dancer, my knees touch the hanger. And the hanger is not wide enough. Very annoying saddle squeaking, appointment made to correct the problem. Tires misaligned on the rim, impression that the rim is warped.

From good to bad, the main problem is the choice of gear ratio. We are always between 2 the chain often crosses and it is difficult to find the right ratio. It's extremely unpleasant even if the bike is rather of course the rest it makes it practically unusable on big outings. We have to constantly juggle reports without ever finding the right one.

Good value for money. Fairly comfortable bike. Used for short weekend outings of 30-40km. The derailleur could be more precise for the front, but for the price it's ok. What I blame is that I have a very high-pitched noise in the gallows as soon as I'm uphill and I go into a dancer. The noise is really very loud and it makes me a little ashamed. I don't quite understand where this can come from, not being an expert. I hesitate to return it with the 365d guarantee and take a bike from another brand.

Since it wasn't there from the order carried out with the usual professionalism of the clerks to the preparation when it arrived I would say....TOP SERVICE AS ALWAYS

Good light bike just one downside the rear tire is deflated after three uses obviously a fault in the valve...

Very nice bike, only downside, the staff was super friendly, but as soon as I arrived at the checkout I immediately noticed that there was a scratch on the frame, not having time to return it I ended up with a scratch a shame for a new bike

I have been using it for a year, and I am very satisfied with it. The brakes work very well, it has a very good quality-price ratio. For those who travel by bike to work, or make smaller trips (about 100km or less), I recommend it. It is very easy, and it is ideal in a block. One of the disadvantages is that it skids very easily when the road is wet, but because of the light weight it is easier to keep control. Another disadvantage is that the changer sometimes gets stuck, and it is a bit difficult to undo it.
