So yep.
It was about 8:30 In the morning and I was in the shower.
Everyone else is sleeping.
And the bell rings…
I dart out of the shower with a towel on and run to the door to catch the FedEx guy!!!
And he deposits the giant Box for the Patton on my driveway.
I used my popsicle board as a dolly to bring the box in, and called my neighbor to help me move the monster out of the box.
I can’t be trying to haul 90 lbs things out of boxes…
But once out of the box, the Patton was more manageable, and did not feel so heavy.
Mathew came over( the EUC kid that first showed how to ride)
He was on his EX30 which he just got last week!!!
I gear up and we go roll down the street.
The initial reaction was great.
It didn’t feel heavy or giant.
We rolled back to the house and put the Power Pads on, and rolled back out.
We headed down to the paved trail and rolling there felt awesome.
It had been a solid week since I rode the V11 , so I was worried about jumping on, but it was no issue.
I even got on the EX30 for a bit and rode it for the first time.
Now that thing felt big and Heavy.
It was actually the feeling I had expected to get with the Patton. But I really only felt the wheel to be giant with the EX30.
Here is the last clean photo before we headed into the trails.
I felt a way better connection to this wheel pretty much right out of the Box, more so than I ever did with the V11.
We hit the baby trails.
It pretty much went were I wanted to go!!!
I ended up doing 14 miles, and I could not be happier about having upgrades.
I used to get constant wobbles on the V11.
And hardly had any on the Patton.
Super stoked.
