holy crap!
i just took this thing for a ride through times square... this was i think the worst idea i've had this year... lmao....
this bike is sooo much quicker than my old ride. i stayed on the smallest and middle rings up front and picking up after a dead stop is insane... unfortunately i didnt have the space but this bike just wants to go... i kept dropping the hammer and then slamming on the brakes (easily of course) .... i am so shocked. the terrain in the area is soooo bad it's not even funny and this bike handled it extremely well. i did both tarmac and concrete, no good areas on either - just raelly crappy unmaintained roads and this thing literally feels like you're flying.... LOL... the only time i realize im on a bike is when i brake and the brakes make some noise - again - i gotta break 'em in..
the seat was a little loose - something i didnt realize before i left the house - so it sorta shifted in a not so nice position after a few minutes... so i rode back to my place...
im still in the first impressions phase. both rides have totaled about 10-15 minutes.... but i duno what to say.... this thing really really hauls ass.
i tried inflating the tires and i notice the valve is different than the one on my 7.2.... i dont think my pump fits this type of tire/tube so i may have to get a converter or something... like i said, im a noob at this. i know they have presta and schrader valves. im not sure what valve is on this bike but i should find out fast.
