MADness.
I can go ahead and say the TB 110s are going on the shelf.
And the MAD 101s will be staying on the Llama.
I did 11 miles around the neighborhood on my lunch break.
I didn’t venture far because rain was coming and it did cut my ride short.
I am not saying the MAD wheels are better than the 110s.
That is too hard to say.
They both shine in ways, and are certainly quite different in my opinion.
But for the Llama the MADs were the winner…
I might glide around on the 110s here and there, since it’s super easy to change the wheels with the BN drives.
But for now it’s MADness time.
The board ends up a bit lighter.
The board ends up a bit lower.
I am getting more torque so now it’s super punchy.
Got lucky there, since it’s not easy to change gearing with the BN drives…
The MADs also do way better on the old chip and seal. Which I have around my neighborhood and all around town.
It’s a non issue with pneumatics. But it’s tricky on thane.
the MADs do a great job on it both as far as grip and dampening.
On freshies I do notice the harmonics still.
It is just something that is there and it is different and it is not really an issue.
And at speed it goes away.
And on the Llama they felt really smooth and connected on the freshies.
This is a sweet side of DIY.
When you change something and it works out right.
I expect I might be giving the Llama a bit more action here soon to enjoy that extra torque and the added confidence with the grip of the MADs.
Pretty stoked dudes!!!
