Hi,
Just wanting to hear from anyone who has a rock n roll (or has used one a few times) and if they can confirm a bob when pedalling at a half decent cadence 90+rpm.
I have been reading reviews and it has come up a couple of times, I know they have a rock motion but i am talking about an up and down bobbing.
Is this more likely to be the result of the reviewers pedalling technique and the fact the they are probably bouncing at high rpm?
Cheers,
Steve

Alot of it comes down to pedalling technique but at a high rpm 110+ it will bob a little. Besides, you can always adjust the tension of the rear bushes to minimise it or use the supplied chocks to eliminate it all together.steve-waters wrote:Hi,
