Moped
Haven't ridden the C14 since last fall. Winter here in New England sucked this year. Spring has not been much better.
But, put the snow plow away in the 'other garage' today and decided to take the Connie out for a romp around the block.
I must say, I was surprised at how crappy the C14 handled. I think it was like this last fall, too.
Now, I have Traxxion front cartridges, and have never changed the suspension settings (whatever they are), and the original tires ... with about 8K on them.
I'm wondering what made this wonderfully handling bike such a handful? The front tire is cupped on both sides, but both the front and rear seem to have lots of tread left.
So, what's your diagnosis? Cartridges screwed up (bike seems to bounce around on uneven surfaces), bad tires (takes lots of input to steer this baby), tire pressure is only 38/40 (usually run 41/41), or what?
I hope to figure this out. I love this bike, but can't ride it as I once did for some reason. BTW, I have new sneakers in stock ... Michelin Road Pilot 3s.
What do ya think?
