Hi Vincent, did you change the tire or is the street tire becoming noisier? I went back to your first Patton videos and it was pretty much silent. I've noticed, at 1500+MI my own is a little noisier but I don't think I ride as fast as you, my normal is 20ish with an occasional 25mph burst.

Hi retireddude, I don't even know your name but you feel like you are a friend I've known for years 😂 . No tire change. 950 miles so far. You may be right though, i just didn't notice it. I do hear the motor noise going louder as I speed up around 30-35mph. Maybe it's the tire too. I also have been holding my camera closer to the wheel than before. During my first patton videos I was going 15 mph, shocked by the weight difference compared to my V8. I couldn't climb on it quickly and comfortably either, especially at intersections in the city. I ended up installing a lower pedal bracket which fixed the problem instantly but my feet were too low to even touch the foot locker device. The minute I installed the powerknobz (which has no tibia rest pad) I was %100 locked on the pedals and let me tell you my friend the first time I accelerated it felt like a different patton unleashing unknown power. I mostly cruise the city between 20-25mph but I go 30-38mph on long visually open avenues but flirting with 40 scares me it gets unstable at that speed, I don't think the patton is meant for high speed. I just love its agility and comfort to cruise the city. I never asked you friend, do you have the 62 or 66?

@@Vince43euc I only ride urban side streets but they can be gnarly depending on how old the surface is, especially old concrete. I'm 6'1" 285lb running the 66lb spring @ min preload, a couple of negative clicks of compression damping, then a couple of clicks of positive rebound damping. Seems to provide a very cushy ride for me, never bottoms out on anything. I too hear some motor noise but mainly under 10mph, same with the tire, miner noise at slow speed but it gets lost in the wind noise at 18/20+mph.
