Subject: WG: Re: How tall should I be ?
Hello Michael and AT riders,
for me it is nearly the same, I'm 175cm and 73kg, after a few weeks and
some experiences in off road terrain (including earth contact of my
body at two times) I learned how to ride my @.
Meanwhile I put another part at the end of my "back shock absorber"
(StoBdampfer), now the bike is 3 cm higher than standards measured in
zhe middle and about 10 cm at the end of the bike, it also works fine
and you have the posibility to take curves with higher speed without
contacting the road with some parts of the ? FuBraster?.
Has someone else experience by modifications in that way, I ask because
at the moment I have troubles with my chain that are caused by the
changes I did ?
kind regards
Manfred Rebl
Hello Michael and AT riders,
To handle an AT, you need to be at least 2.20 m and 130 kg ...
Mine is an RD04 and I am 1.78m for 65 kg. When stopped, both feet are
almost flat on the ground. But the most difficult is that, you have to be
very careful with the gravity center which is rather high on the AT. You
don't need to lean much to loose control of the bike! After a few weeks,
you get completely acustom to that. Note that once the bike is riding, this
weight disappears totally.
Hope this help,
Pierre (living near Louvain-La-Neuve)
