Went on a 150 mile ride yesterday. I'm really impressed with how comfortable this bike is. Also got 75 mpg with a mix of 40, 45, 50 and 60 mph roads (only about 10 miles of 60 mph). The suspension feels great and it is softer than it was. Nothing fell off.
Tried putting a 14 tooth front sprocket this morning, but 108 link chain is too short. From playing around with gears and engine speed, I think a 14 tooth would be good for the faster highways, and there's plenty of torque. May have to use 5 th on steeper hills, but I've had plenty of cars and trucks that would not pull top gear on big hills or head winds. I'd like a windshield on it, I got a yellow jacket (wasp) in my ear about 15 miles into the ride, and was still a good ride. |
