| Noticed an immediate and significant difference (in addition to my backside clearly being further from the ground). Turns in even sharper (in a very good and predictable manner), the front seems evenmore solid (not that it was a problem before), be bike has a more sporty stance and feels a more sporty riding position. Also, while I haven't pushed really hard yet, I have had it well cranked over and the cans didn't ground (even with panniers on).
So all good! The two noticable downsides are:
a) the side stand has become more unstable as the bike is now leant over more with more weight on the stand (is this adjustable at all?)
b) you notice being that 4cm further into the wind (easily dealt with by bending 4cm further down at three figures).
So thanks to everyone for the tips, seems to have fixed my initial problem. Now on to:
- try to improve the side stand
- airbox mod
- GPS fitting
- etc... |
