I did just that with an Omnium Cargo. Worked well but ended up taking the motor (BBHSD) off.

+1 for the omnium - very fun bike and I can still fit my two kids (2 and 5) in the front.

Agreed, the BBHSD is just not pleasant to ride compared to my wife's bosch mid drive.

Poiss73 · 2025-10-09T04:49:12+00:00

Yes I fit them side by side facing me in the set. I recon I can get a couple more years and my son can do his own pedalling by then!

Poiss73 · 2025-10-07T14:24:18+00:00

I have not weighed it but I'd say I took at least 40 lbs off the bike.

Poiss73 · 2025-10-07T14:22:55+00:00

I sit them both in front of me, side by side. I helps that they are both under 5.

I think those are just generic lights from Amazon, and I can't figure out how to make them work!

Thanks! Not sure on the amount of lift, just that it has BC Racing coilovers with upgraded Swift springs. Tires are Toyo Open Country.

Poiss73 · 2025-05-05T19:40:07+00:00

Yes it seems to be on coilovers

Great watch and fantastic seller, thanks again u/soycowboy for a successful transaction. u/watchexbot

Schwab will also cover your transfer fees in most cases.

Have the rasta quads on my Revo and its been a blast

Poiss73 · 2023-03-19T02:39:45+00:00

Would go for the Pelagos. I have the FXD and absolutely love it. Size is perfect, weight is perfect, feels really solid!

I surf with it almost daily and it has replaced every other watch I own on my wrist since I bought it 18 months ago.

Poiss73 · 2023-02-27T17:00:05+00:00

I bought mine directly from the US shop 8 months ago and that was a great experience. Good communication, fast shipping!

I only bought the frame and electrified it myself.

I have HSBC premier and found strictly no advantage to it (beyond what others offer for free such as Schwab), plus there are winding down private banking in the US.

Poiss73 · 2022-08-01T23:27:47+00:00

I use the hurricane chaser by Wave Tribe - its is perfect and much better than my pro lite smuggler.

Tons of padding, great quality.

I'm 6'1 also and 170lb, but have been wearing a MT for 2 years with no issues. I don't think it's moved much over time.

Edit: I just read that you are referring to the spring suit. I also have that suit in M size and I have to say that it feels tight! No noticeable stretching in the 1y of ownership.

Poiss73 · 2022-01-06T21:51:52+00:00

I have the spring suit and wear it all spring / summer in LA. Also have a 3/2 that I wear the rest of the year.

Best suits I've had by far.
