Did they fix the wobble issue? I was going to get one but saw so many complaints and videos of that wobble
@theridewithlance17 сағат бұрын
The way to fix it is by not installing a front rack and basket, and not to install a rear basket. Pannier bags are recommended if you need storage on the rear rack. This is for the step thru. I don't believe they had issues on the high step.

I haven't felt any wobble at all. They told me on the phone that they discovered the cargo baskets on the front and rear weren't compatible so they stopped including them.

Neither. Once they realized the cargo bins where the cause of the wobble on the step thru they stopped sending the bikes out with the cargo bins and offered a saddle type bag instead, which carries the weight lower. I can conform though, when I removed the cargo bins and racks, I have not had a single shack or weird frame wobble. I set this bike up for trail riding, so I was not going to leave the cargo bins and racks on anyways.

So many skeptics, I was one of them too. Then I converted a few friends and myself. I don't use them ALL the time but cruising around town, on tarmac, no issues. After 6 months of use, one of the sticky pads on mine (I bought them when they were in kickstarter, the first batch ever shipped), they became a little worn but the rest of the pads were ok. I bought a pack of pads for $5 bucks and put a new one on. Good as new and kept pedaling. Been a while no issues. Pads are still going strong, only had to replace that one pad. I paired the pedals with Five Ten shoes from Adidas and the shoes themselves have grip so it's grip on grip. It's still easy to take off but when your pressing down it's not moving. clipless wins in the long run but I got tired of spending hundreds on shoes just for cycling. Oh well. Everyone just do your own thing, ride what's comfortable. Me and the dermatologist are really happy no more bloody shins. LOL.

I got the same bike setup different though. That’s an awesome trail! The thing about the Summit is since it’s a hub drive you have to kinda stay ahead of it and maintain a higher speed to keep that Hub engaged. When you slow down at the beginning of a hill it’s a little harder to get it rolling up and the pa to kick in, where as a mid will give you torque faster. I still love the hub drive though, faster top end for sure!

Thanks for the review. I’m going to try some. Tired of having my legs scraped by pedals.
I have like 5 questions: 1. Should you shake or mush the Flat Out around to keep those kevlar fibers evenly dispersed, or do they not clump? 2. On my bottle, it refers to a stem removal tool somewhere on the bottle like maybe with the cap part you remove? 3. You didn't let our every last bit of air, just until the pressure evened out? 4. Do you know something I don't know as regards to PSI? My original Radrunner says 60psi. That sounds like a lot. Plus I'm 300lbs, so i max it out. Between your *personal* choice of 20psi, and my bikes tire saying 60psi, is there some sort of bike mechanics wisdom that thinks that number is flexible? Or does a guy in my situation HAVE TO use what it says on the tire? 5. You said instructions said half bag, 16oz, per fat tire. My bottle says 1/4 per bike tire. Thanks.
@theridewithlance11 күн бұрын
1. The Flatout stay liquid in your tire. So when you ride it constantly coats the inside of the tube, so you dont need to worry about it clumping. 2.The valve stem tool comes with some bottle or bags, but not all. It should say in the description if it does, or you may have to order it separately. 3. When you remove the valve core from the valve stem, all air will flow out. 4. I have 26X4 inch fat tires. They have a PSI range of 5psi min, to 35 PSI max. For the type of riding I do, I found 20 psi works the best. No bike mechanics wisdom, just comfort level. So no, you dont have to use whats on the tire, just stay in the minimum and max range that fits your comfort level when riding. That is the instructions on the bags I used for a fat tire bike with 26 inch wheels. 20 inch wells would use less.
