I took the guni out on a 25 mile ride today from Falls Church VA to
Bethesda MD and back on several bike trails. My friend who usually
joins me on his bike said that I was definitely faster on the guni than
on my 36er. It definitely feels nicer to ride at faster speeds than
pedaling really fast with the 36er. I was able to pass more bikers
than usual and the low gear came in handy while riding in traffic in DC
and dealing with pedestrians. I wish I had a cycle computer with me so
I could know how fast I was going. Another plus about the guni is that
I am able to fit it in my trunk! The coker never fit back there...I
always had to put it in the back seat of the Corolla.
The right crank seems to be staying on a lot better now, but I get
paranonid about crank arm bolts after I have been tightening them hard
constantly. I don't want to strip the bolt. This got me thinking that
I should place an order for some spare parts with Schlumpf now while
everything is working great...that way if I lose a button or a crank
arm bolt is starting to seem like it is getting stripped I can replace
it without having to wait for overseas shipping.
