Go Big and Ride Small

[Godspeed]

I’d love to have a bit more info about what went wrong with the bike. Nice to see another Innova making big journeys... obviously designed for it

Well it took me over an hour to get used to the power (or lack of it ), it was mainly noticeable going up hills but once I trained my brain it was absolutely fine. The suspension is adequate for my 87 kilos and the brakes work fine. What is fantastic is the lack of weight and the superbly low seat height.

I'm not thrashing it yet as it doesn't even have 500 miles on it so perhaps there may be a teeny bit more power to come. The balloon tyres caused me no grief at all , I wondered if it may be difficult to steer but it was fine, just like a normal bike.

At the moment it's far too clean to consider any trail riding but I have fitted a bash-plate 'just incase'

Bash plate! Perfect

I decided to cobble givi wingrack sides onto my Innova, but then needed a set of larger panniers. Found a cheap set in Brixham so today took a 222 mile round trip to pick them up.
Must remember not to try tight filtering with them on
