Well. That explains the PFFTT... Thanks for that... I don't know how I missed that when I was perusing the literature. TBH. I only ever notice it when pedaling hard (off saddle). I haven't attempted to climb a hill with this bike yet... So I don't know how it will feel then... I don't like hill climbing.
Thanks for the info.
