Update on my new wheels and my Electra C1’s .
Technically, my black one would have to be a C2 . Because it now has a two speed kickback hub and new Black anodized aluminum rims .
I’ve had some ideas in my head , wanting to do some changes to both my Electra Cruiser and decided now would be a good time to do them .
I set them up like I setup a MTB for cruising. Small riser handlebars ,MTB saddles . And I shifted my saddles forward , putting my body closer to being over the pedals , hoping this would help eliminate the knee pain I’ve been getting when I ride a pedal forward bike and switch back and forth between my cruisers and mtb’s . I rode seven miles total between the cruisers today and the knees do feel better .
I like the new Cruiser/MTB look too .
The black one got the black rims and 2 speed hub , the matte bark one got the red rims with the Shimano SS coaster brake and I changed out the cog for a 22 tooth , which makes it awesome riding again . The 18 tooth was a little too rough on hills .
I also went back to Kenda 1.9 street tires that are so much lighter than the Maxxis Hookworms and they coast unbelievable .
