Accelerate Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Yesterday I got my new ride. I trade in my my Felt 29" Carbon Harttail for a new 27.5" Carbon Cube Softail. This morning I went for my first ride and I must say I was struggling a bit. But both shocks were a bit soft and hopefully that is the reason. I took it back to my LBS and will see tomorrow if the feel is better.But I must say the beauty of the bike will make up for the suffering..... Super Sywurm and SoftTail 2
dee_biker Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Beautiful bike. Let the LBS sort you out properly by doing bike fit and set the shocks with the correct sag!
gummibear Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Very nice bike. What is it that you are struggling with?

Accelerate Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 I could not achieve the same speed from the bike. I really hope it is the shocks and not the smaller wheelsize.
gtr1 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 It's the smaller wheels. Not as fast !! Johny Bravo and martinsnyman 2
Meentb Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 It's the smaller wheels. Not as fast !! Don't do it!!!!
Caerus Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Just to correct you that is a full suspension bike, not a softail . Nice looking bike though, many happy miles RockSpider85, SwissVan and Louis for real 3
hayleyearth Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 So much more fun to do the pumping yourself. (Cant see how the lbs can do the changes you need while you are not there though...just saying)

A ds will be a little slower than a ht on the flats but you'll make it up on the down hills. Just enjoy the bike and get used to it.After a few rides you'll not look back.
