Had my first ride with the liners today and it was SUPER bumpy. Suggestions?

They do make the ride harder but the ride is better than puncture proof tyres. Be careful where the ends overlap. The end wore a hole in my tube. The tip is to sandpaper the end down so it tapers to nothing rather than leaving it as a ridge. Also add some talcum powder to reduce the friction. Hope that helps.

Mine run nice and smooth.Check that the overlap ends are flat.Stay with them.JT

Hi Kathryn: I have been using the Tuffy liner and the results have been excellent. They shouln't give the bumpy sensation, it's not suppose to happen if you install it properly which sometimes is the tricky part of it. I usually don't overlap both ends very much, just a little, between 0.5-1.0 inch at the most. Overall, it's a great product.Regards,Francisco B.

brace forearms on handles and pull up on the seat. It is stiff! :) Good luck!

the seat takes some getting used to. if you aren't used to typical road bike seats you may want to get a gel cover for it or get a softer seat that isn't as punishing on sensitive areas.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this question! I was trying to wait until I used the beater again, to check, but still haven't done so. Yes, I do think there is a bit more of a "bump" with this beater than I would have expected. There don't seem to be any particular ill-effects of the "bumping" so I guess it's okay. Still, yours may be "bumping" more than most. Maybe trying a replacement beater would be a good idea, since you don't feel quite right about the one you have.

Sounds like something got messed up during transport. I would have it sent back and get a new one.

Yes. On my end, I didn't have to encounter so much bumps on the road. However, watch out the zipper quality.

try pushing the wheels in tighter; they're supposed to snap in. you need to use some strength. put some elbow grease into it man.

We did not feel comfortable on this seat either, but, rather then replace the seat we bought the 2x sunlite cloud-9, Gel bicycle seat cover, seems to be working well for us, just something you might consider rather then changing the seat. Hope this helps you Jason.

I am a very big guy. 6'4'' and well over 3000LBS. The front suspension feels squishy to me. I have not been able to ride it a lot so no opinion yet.

Suggest checking the lid by the foot pedal and making sure the contacts there touch when the pedal is pressed down. This was an issue the first day with mine.

Installed on my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500.Rode like there were no shocks at all.Set them to the softest setting. That may still be too stiff. Run the minimum acceptable amount of air pressure in the tires might help a little. The shocks definitely ride pretty rough at slow speeds over bumps.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

The ride is stiffer than factory, for two people or with cargo I liked it better. I have a 01 lowrider and would bottom out a lot with a passenger until I put these on. With these it will still bottom out if you hit a really hard bump but normal riding there awesome compared to a factory shock.

So far I have not had that problem and I have been on some bumpy roads with the stroller. I will keep an eye on it though and if it happens I will let you know.

Try using black pipe insulation on bars for replacements . And crank down hard on holding arms so there is no friction.

Was good for most rides. However, when the trail became very bumpy my experience was very different. I ride a small frame, so spacing and clearances are very limited. In bumpy conditions, the action of the rear suspension allowed the bottom of the bottle to rub the tire, damaging the attached cage and releasing the bottle.

Make sure you push the wheels in far enough. If I remember correctly, I had to push really hard; you should hear a big "pop" when that in. Hope this helps.
