anyway you could raise the seat?
you may only need to move it an inch or so to get better leverage for the one handed peg wheelie, which i can do pretty well. i can not spin the bars 180 degrees, as it Really changes the balance point.
hope that helps a little

^that's a nice bike, Harlen. Have you considered putting a 4th peg on also? I'd say for most people your seat would be too low for front wheel tricks as it's just so hard to grab when it's that low; raise it up and it should open some doors for you. one handed peg wheelies are tricky-for me they are much easier double footed, but I've heard the opposite also, it's just whatever you learn I guess. How is that Tioga tire working? I was thinking of trying them also.

Thanks. Yea my bike a work in process I dont have a lot of money to toss around. I buy a piece at a time as finance permits. I have a problem spending money on new parts. To only be dissatisfied with the color and powdering them. That also goes for seats. I get them reupholstered to the color I like. Using powder coating as a barter for the upholstery. Btw the bike was blue and white when I first got it. I cant decide to go pivotal or railed. I did the math and they're close to the same in weight and price. The money I had set aside for seat and post I spent it on a Hoffman Generator. I couldnt pass it up at 69.99 to my door. LHD white spokes, red rim and hub. ;D The Tioga rolls real good at around 80 pounds.The only thing I dont like is the thin walls. I can see some wear after a few feebles. I used a buddys bike with a seat and could see the possibilities open up. Its late glad I'm off tomorrow. I'm taken the post off my purple bike and trying it out. Hopefully the weather dry.
