Subject: Experience report, contd.
Hi all,
though my holiday is over Iīm able to continue the "experience report"..
1) Corbin saddle
Yes, I finally got it ! This thing is very easy to install, it fits on the
original place .... ;-)
I had to put some rings beyond the rear locker, in order to make the saddle
snap in.
The saddle is much wider than the original one, that makes riding more
comfortable. The seat is a little lower (aprox. 2-3 cm) and much harder than
the original part. That gives better control of the bike- but you must get used
to the harder seat !
2) MRA Shield
No problems with noise anymore, wind pressure low. A little more sensitive in
case of sidewinds.
3) Metzler Enduro 4 tires
No problems, even on wet roads. But be careful with new tires, they are *VERY*
slippery.
Now, I rode aprox. 3000 km on all kinds of roads with them, but they seem to
last very much longer. Remember: Michelin TX66 were ready after 6600 km.
4) Scott oiler
No big problems. If I do more than 300 km, there is oil on the ground the next
day. But no big thing. I didnīt retension the chain for about 9000 km up to
now. :-)
5) K&N Filter
Forgot, that I have an air filter....
6) WP Fork springs
Still excellent, now waiting for my WP rear suspension. Arrives in september.
Resumee: made aprox. 5000 in 4 weeks, NO PROBLEMS !
