    Video of some attemps at a few wheelies / endos. Going nice and slow, I can pull it up with ease. Just under 30mph and it will still wheelie, but only if I stand up.

    I'm sure the front wheel keeps coming out of alignment after these sessions but no idea why as everything it nice and tight. Hope it's not wheels giving way...

    @MIGHTYMAN She looks real cool and also looks like she rides very well too. What speeds can you get up to? She pulls pretty damn good from the vid, have you any friends to ride with for a direct comparision???

      Top speed with the current 13-46 sprockets is only 54. The stock 13-40 sprockets offer 64. Should see 75 with a good enough road setup though I reckon. Haven't ridden with anyone just yet but will do soon!

                @dtluke Yeah it's definitely the gearing. Previous owner changed the 13-40 for 13-46 and he said it lost 10mph. I was hoping to stick on 15-38 or something similar but found out earlier a 15 tooth front is way too big 😢

                    @CYBER-NINJA it takes me about 7 seconds or so to get to 60 on the DT 😞

                    Keep it real

                      Finally ordered a set of off road wheels for it yesterday. Had to shell out a very unfriendly price of £700 with tyres.. Madness! But you just can't get the Freeride series wheels in used condition yet. They are a very odd combination of hubs similar to the tiny KTM 85 bikes (20mm rear spindle), laced onto normal sized rims. Only SM Pro or genuine KTM parts are available. So I went for SM Pro Platinum orange hubs and nipples, with stainless spokes and black rims. Should look nice! 👍

                        @MIGHTYMA should look incredible considering the wheels cost more than my entire bike 😉

                          Dude you are savage.

                          What do you do for a living, and can i do it lmao. That was a joke btw.

                          Mate it's an investment, you only live once so go out and enjoy it. Oncr you are finished I am sure you wilk have no problems selling those itens.

                          Throw some photos uo asap though. Sounds lush

                              Funnily enough Calum, you are probably more qualified to be doing my job than I am aha! Currently an apprentice software developer working mainly with web based apps. Crap money at the mo, but I just don't spend it on anything else. When I move out, I'll probably have to sell the lot.. So best make the most of it!! 😂

                                @MIGHTYMAN Yeah fair play mate.

                                Sounds like you have got the right attitude.

                                          @CYBER-NINJA Sadly not... Although we had a go on segways the other day and she enjoyed it! So maybe after a couple of years of convincing she might try out the Freeride 😁
