Quick review on the new bike, it’s much shorter than my previous one, a lot easier to pull up or endo. Definitely much easier to bunny hop over things. Also feels like all the moves have to be fast forwarded. Like I have to react faster. Since it’s a 24″, the wheelbase is shorter, so once the front is up, the rear hits faster than a 26 inch.

Not sure if it’s the length, or weight or handlebar angle, but the front feels a lot heavier than my previous one. I suspect it’s the rims and tires. Extra heavy duty ones. Should swap it out for lighter versions. The brakes aren’t gripping, so i wasn’t feeling very confident in doing gaps and such. Confirm loop out. Need to fix brakes and lighten the front!

Oh and even when sitting, i can’t cycle cause the seat’s too low. And that’s the highest it can do because the seat post is so short. LOL.
