Needless to say I screwed it up and shipped it off to be repaired. This left me w/o my dear boingy bike for a few weeks so....... should be fun. Gary Here's what helps keep me in relative control and comfort. I have the 2.35 kenda kinetics at about 28lbs, and a fairly soft seat, and I stand a lot. Going up, and going down.... but I still love it. Not for all the time, now that Rev Titus has converted me to double-squish, but it's still fun once a week or so. Spin like a hamster, sting like a bee... CDB 28 lbs = mega pinchies for my big butt and lack of hardtail skills. but it was way fun I guess I could always through that White Bros 90mm (won in a raffle) on the front and see if I like it any better...... Gary Try a DH kinda tire with a thick sidewall. It'll allow you to run lower pressures without pinch flatting so easily. The Inner Peace 2.4 Motoraptors on the Cha work really well that way. JD Thanks for the info. I'll wait until I wear out these Kendas. Can't see wasting perfectly good rubber especially after all the gift spending my wife (and I)did. Went for a canal ride tonight with a bud and his new beach cruiser. High rise bars, spring seat, 3 speed with coaster breaks, double clamp rigid fork with some mega wide slicks. A little different ride than the rss! Gary |
