Low speed torque is always fun. My throttle is tamed to keep wheelies down. I can still pop a small wheelie when I hit my 3 speed button that goes from 20mph to 46mph setting. Gets off guard sometimes, which is quickly replaced with a big grin.
That's what I call a Rump RocketI made an executive decision today and changed my seat. I'm sorry, but I stole it off of Stunner. That's just tough tookies when you're number 2. I've always liked this seat. I don't think you can buy them. You have to buy a Felt Deep 6 to get one.
I think it works with the look I've got going on here. The chrome buttons. Hide of a Naga. Tractor seat shape. I've never been a huge fan of the hairpin look, but this seat doesn't show it off as much as some. It also seems to sit a little lower then the old one, so I like that too.
I have noticed that the wind has a bigger effect than most hills. A headwind also sucks a lot of power unless I keep my speed way down. A tailwind helps slightly with top speed, and makes a big difference with range.It could of been a tail wind. My topend is about the same, it's the acceleration where I might have an advantage over your bike. Going up overpasses I hit 42mph. Going down, I don't gain anymore topend. My new tires do roll a lot smoother.
That is cool that you can charge now at your school. My total commute is 12 miles both ways. I use to charge at work too, but it's not possible with my new bike.
