How many sessions did you have on the new bike already?
Nicky: I did one quick session at the local and after this bike check I am off for a session at this new concrete skatepark in Rotterdam. So make that 2 sessions.
How does it feel compared to the other bike?
Nicky: A world of difference! Everything feels so smooth. Can't wait to ride!
Can you adapt to most bikes or are you really specific on the headtube angle, top tube and size of the back end?Nicky: I never looked up for frame specs before to be honest.. As long it is a 21inch toptube I'm happy.
How long did it take to put
this one together?Nicky: There was no hurry.. I think about an hour.
Did you have to use a hammer or a file?
Nicky: I used a hammer for the bearings. And the bearing are still working smooth.
Do you know how much it weighs?
Nicky: It's not too light that's all I know, which is perfect. But I think it is... hmmm.. around 11+ Kilograms
What's a trick that you have in mind that you haven't done yet but you want to do on this new ride?
Nicky: Decade to double peg
