Bicycle Recommendations (Soulfly)

[DAMIEN1307]

Thank man,but I have learned alot and its kinda personal but if I was going plug and play id probably get a arieal rider grizzly.

I would like to see ya fix this "thing" you got stuck with and make it into something really good...It can be done, just very disappointing that it has to be improved by owner just to get it to where it should have been in the first place.

I've seen that kind of thing before, it's caused by lazy assembly. Where is the top tree?

Yeah that's what I was going to say. Where the heck is the top triple tree. No wonder it failed.

I'm glad you are well & did not get hurt. That could have been a nasty one.

Ask and ye shall recieve.

Soulfly, did those forks need assembly out of the box?

Well this morning I finally got my POS felt faker going again and about 10 min. into the ride at about 18mph the front forks folded and of course I crashed Im not hurt just mad as hell. I sent the jacka$$ a message kast week about the problem with the bike I got no answer so Ill send him a pic of the bick but Im sure Ill get the same service whitch was none So Id like some recommendations on a bike to put a motor on Id like a all steel bike single speed with v brakes installed and pleanty of room to put a engine on. Now I would discourage anybody from buying a felt faker it garbage and expensive garbage also I wiuld encourge nobody to buy anything from motoredlife dude that owns it is a conman and a lier and should be thankful I cant easily get to him.

I've got a 2006 felt baron. Didn't take ,any modifications to the bike. It already has heavy duty spokes. The front rim has a drum brake. I went with a double spring front fork. Had to get rid of the three speed. The felt has the perfect Fenders on it already. The way they mount won't fail,and cause the mounting to end up in the moving rims. I run my bike at around 24 to 30 mph always. I've put over 1000 miles on it. I'm on my second set of tires. I've never had any kind of fail on my bike. I did learn to not to use rear brakes that have to brake pad riveted to the bake itself. Use a bonded pad. The riveted ones will fail and come apart in the hub. It will cause the rivets to put grooves into the brake hub. Although felt stopped making the beach cruisers you can find them on secondary markets. The cruisers are all aluminum. Felt racing makes great bikes. If you want a bicycle to use that takes minimal upgrades use thevfelt

Yes, the Felt Beach Cruisers are built strong and good looking. It seems as though they were manufactured to encourage buyers to motorize their bicycles.
