Accelerate Posted December 4, 2013 Share 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.....

Accelerate Posted December 4, 2013 Share I could not achieve the same speed from the bike. I really hope it is the shocks and not the smaller wheelsize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
