Omg I laughed my ass off “fucker”. This thing is driving me crazy

@testdirver Ай бұрын

brand of the fork? just bought a toseek and look thin

@SethJayson Ай бұрын

I forget the "brand" of these. Wasn't a"toseek" I've had a couple of those. The 2nd one has an all CF steerer that's very thick walled. Prior one was a carbon/glass sandwich similar to this one, but probably thicker. I'm not too worried about these, especially given that most of my use is for recumbents so there's no real force being applied perpendicular to the steerer.

Not perfect, but a good upgrade so far. Bumps are much easier to ride over with this seat which seems crazy but it is true. I go longer without discomfort. But I do get some after a while. That is typical for me my butt hurts sitting in my Honda Accord or in my Chrysler minivan too. The tight fit for the passenger seat is not an issue for filling up. There is a slight Gap at the front right behind the frunk which bugs me a little bit to look at. I have no aftermarket seats to which to compare it. I would say if the original seat was a 6 or 7 out of 10 this one is an eight or nine.

Any more words of wisdom for this seat after a few more weeks?

@SethJayson 7 күн бұрын

Very comfortable, takes the sting out of big hits and has me questioning whether or not I really need to get a better rear shock.

@SethJayson Ай бұрын

As for a template and pre bending I think you would be hard-pressed to get it any closer than it comes. I might suggest just measuring the distance between the bolts center to center and seeing how that compares between the rack and the bike. That way you might be able to spread or compress the sides a couple of millimetersif needed before you put it on.

I like the rock well enough. It is very sturdy. That's also un intrusive although sometimes I worry about how it might block oblique views of the tail light brake light. The paint job on mine wasn't flawless. Some of the corners and edges some of my handling took it off so I touched it up with gloss paint and that shows in the video. If I had had more time and energy I would have bought a can of matte black and hit it outdoors for an extra coat.

The key is to just get the screws started then tighten them a little bit at a time alternating in a Criss-Cross pattern. Be careful with the hex wrench when removing the originals because mine were really tight and my hex wrench skinned the plastic of one of the grab bars. My first cosmetic flaw. I hit that up with some sharpie that made it invisible.

@SethJayson Ай бұрын

It does come with longer hex screws and washers. The holes line up pretty well it's just that the structure is something of a spring and you have to pull it open and line up several holes at once to get things going. With a helper and being careful not to strip the inserts it wasn't that bad

@user-wg5yu5ob6r Ай бұрын

Seth, I've been considering this rear rack and looking forward to this video since your "quick look" video over the winter. I've noted that others have had problems with holes lining up on non-OEM racks and was wondering if a hole template made of cardboard or other material might help by pre-bending the steel before mounting. By the way, it looks like they modified the design a little on the side struts since your purchase according to their website. Did they supply longer bolts with the rack to accommodate the rack and handles?

Nice bike, we can’t get the 750 in NZ, only the larger one. My arthritis in knees and left hand is getting worse, so a DCT would suit me. Very good economy and hill starts would be easier for me. Cheers.

@@johnmartin7158 I commute in and out of a super hilly town and yes the DCT on those Hill starts is really great.

Very nice! I really like the seat design. Hope it's comfortable. Let us all know after you've been planted on it for more than a hour or two. I wasn't familiar with the Thunder Box, so I'll be looking into that. Very interesting and affordable. I've looked at numerous power distribution gadgets and none of them impressed me due either to the cost, the size/proportions or a combination of all the former.

@SethJayson 2 ай бұрын

Check my lame t box vid. I think it's worth the hundred odd bucks for convenience. Seat is definitely an improvement for me. Big hits on bumps hurt less! Regular butt comfort improved as well, but no long rides yet. It has been chilly here and I have used the heat a couple of times. Nice.

Thanks for this! I'm in the middle of bridal alterations and this saved me so much struggle! Without my serger, I'd need to do countless yards of narrow hem on a standard machine. And on delicate, slippery fabric, that would have been such hard work. Much appreciated!!

Looks like RAGBRAI..... been riding my catrike expedition, but now shopping for a Azub six or mini.

@SethJayson 3 ай бұрын

Oh yeah it's RAGBAI. We call it ragride just to see how may people will "akshwally..." us. We've bagged it on our expeditions too. Mini is a great bike, not fast, very comfy -- way better than the trike on bumpy stuff and gravel. Handles luggage a lot better too. Expedition with full bags is really tail-heavy and wags a lot until you *really* smooth out your pedal stroke. It's akin to the first few days of learning to ride the trike and smoothing away the pedal steer. Much easier to ride the mini on the narrower-shoulder rural roads -- takes less space, none of that trying to negotiate the rumble strip between one side wheel and the rear, etc. Downside is you can't just park it under a tree and nap in it!

Correction....awesome KZbin Video! Just purchased a 2022 NC750 and now embarking on upgrades and mods. This is exactuly what I was looking for so thank you very much! I'm guessing you went with the TB-U02. I'm likely going with the TB-U01 as I suspect 5 powered accessories will be more than enough. Question..... Is there anything wrong or problematic with the factory Type C USB port in the Frunk? I need to put a cable, but I'm I don't see why NC owners aren't taking advantage of this supplied power port. Thanks again!

@SethJayson 3 ай бұрын

There's nothing wrong with the factory supplied one that I can think of the reason I went with this one is because it looked like the installation would be much simpler right to the thunder box

@SethJayson 3 ай бұрын

Also it was a lot cheaper and it has more ports built in and the USBC is the high-powered kind and I don't know that the factory one can do that

@SethJayson 3 ай бұрын

I chose the one with more ports because I figured it wasn't much more money and that way I would never run out. I recently ordered a seat from Portugal and got the heating option so that's another slot taken up

@SethJayson 3 ай бұрын

I think you can only get four accessories on the single unit. It's however many ports there are -1 which is the power supply

@user-wg5yu5ob6r 3 ай бұрын

When you're reunited with your bike, I'm hoping you'll make installation videos of this and any other accessories you've accumulated. I just purchased an NC a few days ago and I'm checking out various items like this. First on my list is the MC Motoparts adjustable foot pegs. Thanks for the videos, they're very informative.

@SethJayson 3 ай бұрын

I have some adjustable pegs that I also haven't installed! I'm tall and thought they would be necessary, but I'm fine with the deep knee fold so far. Ordered a top sellerie seat pair, and likely going to get suspension done (better rear shock, emulators up front) at a shop some time over the summer. Too nice a bike not to max the comfort even if it costs a bit.

Super interesting stuff. I'm having trouble with a New Old Stock set I just bought not going into friction mode (I'm hoping to use it with a 7 speed cassette). Do you have any tips on how I might get this dang thing out of index and into friction mode? Thanks again for the video!

@SethJayson 4 ай бұрын

To get ours to friction there was a wire loop on the outside they you just flipped out and turned like a 16th of a turn until the indicator lined up. If all else fails microshift bar ends are great.

I rarely need to use my serger. I probably have used it a total of 20 hrs at best in the last 3 years. EVERY SINGLE TIME I use it, it needs to be fixed. It is the BIGGEST piece of crap. If you hate yourself, then buy the Brother 1034D Serger. It is not reliable at all.
