Low Rider BB

I just installed some Low Rider forks on the Atomic BB. I really like the way it looks, but it handles like a biache. When you turn the handle bars it lifts the head higher, and weights the bars. The peddles strike at any lean angle that's not straight up lol. But I still like it.

I've been out riding around. I just ran out of gas about a 1/2 mile away. The handling is wicked at low speeds. It's hard to peddle around on the sidewalk in the park. In order to make a hard turn you have to really put a lot of power into the bars, and hold it there. U turns are interesting. I got it up to about 25 mph. It's feels a lot more stable at higher speeds, above 20.

Aside from that the ride is nice and soft. I never thought I'd like these kind of springer forks, but I'm really digging the way they look on the bike.
