Since we reformatted the blog page, and there is less room for you to post your comments on individual posts, we thought we’d open up an entire page devoted to you- your thoughts, your concerns, your passions, anything about you. Please indulge us with any links, articles, videos, images, or comments you have! We love hearing from you
New site is looking good, just like the Bikes. Expect my order for a lIghtning next month.
Thanks for feedback, look forward to hearing back from you! Let me know if you have any questions- Richard
Hi Richard,
Enjoying the Classic I purchased.
And your blog. Videos are great.
Having a problem though with seat post bolt slipping not staying secure.
Any tricks of the trade would be helpful
Thanks again . Mike in Anaheim,Ca
Mike, the seat clamp bolt on this post requires a lot of torque to fully tighten. Use a 6mm hex wrench, about 5 1/2″- 6″ long. There are thousands of these seat posts out there, and the design has been in use for years, so the design is sound, but it does take more tightening than what you might think it should to secure the clamp mechanism.
Hi Richard
Been riding the new Lightning for a week now and it is everything that was promised, it will be my daily commuter from now on. You said that the standard cogs would be OK on even moderate hills and I must say that I prefer the 16 instead of the 18 round here. But then again Toronto isn’t famous for its mountains. Someday I hope to be in a more interesting area with it and really see if it climbs like it accelerates.
Right now – looking forward to next week working in Provo, Utah. I hear there are some good trails up there. Already found the LBSs for hiring something to ride.
Did anyone get to check out the live Music/Comedy show and Massages on 5th & Spring Downtown Los Angeles, During CycLAvia?
