Hoi 25Hz, oh I forgot 'bout the holes in the mudguard. I also noticed that heavy loaded bags on the rear part (vacation), had no adverse effect on the max speed of my python. I have "banana bags" which do not move the CG backward as much as common bike bags - see attached picture. But above 60kmh I don't feel well - but the same was true for my 20inch flevo racer - so it is probably me. Dirk 25hz wrote: > Yes sir, I did.
