Bikes: Specialized Sirrus Sport Carbon, Dahon Vitesse P18

Week 3:

Bike continues to perform well, I've upgraded the pedals to Diamondback Bigfoots - a significant improvement over the stock foldables, and koolstop mountain salmon pads to improve braking performance.

Bike is very fast, I can keep up with most roadies with not much effort, only the gear ratio of 96" probably keeps me from going even faster and overtaking them. The speed can actually be a challenge sometimes, as there is much more wobble in a 20" bike than the 26" Jack I'm used to.

There is alot of play in the handle bar above the fork. The clamp is pretty tight, but there is still play in it, and I'm guessing it was designed so as to allow flex when riding over significant road hazards. Kind of like how a bridge or building is made to flex in the wind/earthquake, just something else to adjust to after the rock-solid Jack.
