This thing is AWSOME.
I got the upshifts pretty good, although with 150 cranks I have to put
my toes on the pedals so my heel can reach the shift button. The shift
is a smooth transition into 1.5 mode and just tonight I got a few
successful downshifts, the downshifts seem to be more difficult than
the upshift.
Tonight I tried some shoes that the rubber soles were not so
sticky/grippy and it definetely helped with the shifting.
Riding in 1.5 mode is sweet once you get in rythym, one of the
adjustments that made the biggest difference of all in handling and
ridability was done at the rail adapter seat mount, on my first couple
rides I had the seat post clamped on the rail adapter approximately
were a stock seat post would mount and just set the seat angle at the
desired angle and it seemed to ride just like my other N36er which has
same type seat mount but once I shifted I would have to pull up on the
T7 handle so hard to keep balance my arms got tired, so I started
trying a few things and the trick was moving the rail adapter seat post
as far towards the back of the seat rail adapter as possible, now I can
cruise pretty smooth once in rythym.
While out riding yesterday I was on a somewhat flat road and had a
smooth rythym going and a road biker caught up with me and rode with me
a short bit talking Uni's (said he rode as a kid etc) but before he
rode on he said "Do you know how fast your going" No "17mph" Awsome
ride.
The rythym of this thing is cool, know how when on a 36er and spinning
away you wobble, well when in geared mode you dont do that, it is more
of a relaxing sway from right to left with everystroke the motion kinda
reminds me of skating.
