Mike Rice said:I'm a slow rider on a Tour Easy. I love my bike with the fairing, it
handles better on windy days and goes faster downhill. It makes
fighting a headwind easier, and really catches the tailwinds , even
most crosswinds seem to give a little boost.
Picked up the Zipper fairing late Saturday afternoon Mike.
(03/29). After a qucik installation, went for a short neighbourhood
ride and wasn't very impressed. Fiddled about in the driveway, fine
tuning the installation and it seemed a bit better. Got up Sunday and
did some more fine tuning, improving each time. Just got back from a
20k night ride and I am now impressed.
Seems the first few set-ups were too low on the bike, and
while I noticed my body wasn't feeling the air, my eyes were watering
from the airflow over the top. I ended up raising the entire set-up
on the bike and put a lot more curve/arc to it. Airflow seems to
clear over my head now.
Grin, of course now I need to put a chin strap on my baseball
cap to keep it on my head . . .
Thanks for your feedback . . . think I'm going to like the
fairing. Time will tell.
