Bob;

I've enjoyed seeing the pics and reading about how you set up you Easy Sport. I like what you did. I did a little additional research on the Kenda Kwest tires that came on my CX and found that they contained wire beads as well, which helps explain how they are so resistant to flats also. I just reached 300 miles on my easy sport and my speed has come up as you indicated it would. I'm now riding in the 14 - 17 MPH range depending on conditions. So I think I am satisfied to get some more wear out of the kenda tires and down the road when they show some wear change them out and look at what you went with.

I've been making small adjustments to the Handle bar height, handle bar angle, seat distance, and seat back angle every since I got the bike. I wound up 2 inches further back than what the dealer started me out. As of today I have 300 miles on the bike and have made what I feel are my final adjustments and have it set up optimally for me. I think this helped increased my riding speed as well.


bkaapcke - so far I like the stock handle bars. I've been able to adjust them so they feel really good for me.


Actually, I like this bike a lot, and grow fonder of it the more I ride it. Now that I finally have it adjusted properly for me I'm looking forward to putting many more miles on it.
