« on: September 21, 2025, 09:54:23 AM »Finally got a fullish ride in. I really like it. It feels very snappy but it still holds speed. The integrated front really works. My average loop speed is about 18-19MPH and it took 10 less watts to do a 19MPH loop. Thats significant as my FTP is around 180 at the moment.
One thing I'm not crazy about is the handling, though honestly that might have been due to a flat rear tire. The rear end was just very squirrely, even after I reinflated the tire after losing air. Front was fine. Rear wheel is out of true so that might be a factor. I will see what comes of it.
Do you still find the rear end to be too flexy or did truing the wheel fix it?
