More Bike Review

I rode the new bike on tuesday. Due to the poor trail conditions, I did a solo ride around town. It was fun and allowed me to get to know the bike better as well as jump some curbs and bunny hop some puddles. I now see the difference in the aluminum frame and it can be summed up in one word......... Feedback! The aluminum transmits more feedback than I have ever felt. It's not good or bad, just different. I am not used to feeling every vibration and I am going to have to learn what to ignore. Even riding on smooth pavement, I could feel what seemed like every knobby on my small bloc eight as I rolled over it. It will take some getting used to.
