Jesus phat! It reminds of those 4x4 they love in the country Iceland.

huge thanks to sithlord (Si) tonight for helping set the bike up.

we found the rear hanger to be out slightly, must of took a knock in transit, so the gears are not 100% but the bike is still awesome fun.

-8 and 8'' of snow meant it had a play in the snow straight away!

cant wait to have some quality time on it, and get it set up for the weather.

Nice your going to have to sort out a ride with Gil so you both can do a back to back test?? :roll: and can't wait to have a little test ride

i wont get a chance of a daytime ride until my next day off....xmas day!


will have to cope with local rides with the dog in the park for now.

really like this bike, the way it rides is superb. doesnt feel like a 36lb bike at all....it floats over everything. the steering and power delivery is very smooth.

the way it soaks up the shock of hard ice is like having full suspension.

What tyre pressures are you using? Less than 10 psi presumably .

 

[saltyman]

I think they are at 20psi at the moment, been fine so far, the deeper the snow the less pressure though.

 

[Andy R]

I only asked as I know some people who are running them as low as 6-8 psi.

[saltyman]

No problem, you know me, anyone can ride any of my bikes, just got to ask.
