2 days agoI bought this post and attached it to the stock seat: https://a.co/d/d5sUw8X Don’t pick up the bike by the seat, it will eventually pop out the rubber seal on the suspension post. I don’t remember what size it was.
For the brake pads I have these: https://a.co/d/4Sm9TkM They seem ok, they get plenty of bite, I’ll probably have to replace the rotors eventually, I’m not convinced the stock rotors are meant for semi metallic. A local bike shop will have this size on hand but they might be like $45 per pair.
It is a heavy bastard. It’s foldable so I figured I could take it on the subway but it’s so heavy that it’s not practical to carry up stairs, there also isn’t really a good carrying handle and you end up picking it up by the pinch points. I wish I went with something a bit lighter. As a work around, I bought a second charger and motorcycle PPE, i just use PAS 4 both ways and let it charge at work. My 20 minute drive is a 25 minute bike ride and when traffic is bad it’s still a 25 minute ride. Going that fast means the suspension post is a must, sometimes you don’t see the potholes in time to stand and it HURTS.
