Matt Vandart Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 On a more serious note:the reason I got tit's was..................No really, the reason why I was asking was, my noo mod FEELS, heavier than my old neon 26".This puzzled the f**k out of me, so I thought I would do a XL spread sheet, a la Muel, and see what it weighed. My scales are f**ked you see.The answer kept coming out that it weighed a good 1kg less.Which puzzled me, so as the rest of the information was correct, or as correct as the tarty sooper dooper scales are, I thought I must have underestimated the spoke weight.Turned out I didn't.So that brings me back to the original puzzle, why does my mod feel more sluggish? When Mods are meant to be more whippy.I'm thinking it's: A: The gearingB: The fact that more of the weight is at the front (Disc rather than maggie)C: I'm a mongD: I just got over swine fluE: I just spent 4 weeks in Ireland sans bike and just lost the feel somewhere.F: All of the above.Or something..........

forteh Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Im the same, if I get on a mod it just feels really sluggish and hard to ride, guess its just the change from stock to mod (besides the fact my stock weighs less than alot of mods ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 It can be effected by what set up you have. Throw us up a spec list or some pictures and we'll try and identify where/if there is anything making it ride poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 *Stuff*Bar height, and bar angle. Your stem, and it's height, change the ride massively. The lower the front end typically the 'heavier' it will feel. I have a longer frame, and so I've proportionally got a higher front end to make it feel more 'mod'. So yeah, just put some spacers under your stem if you can, or just get a higher stem. Should give it a nicer ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
