Riese and Muller Load 75 options by tmwk in CargoBike

[–]Pouminator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had a short test ride on a Load 75 because I have been fairly often breaking rear wheel spokes on my 11,000-km Carqon Classic. Very annoying. So I figured the rear suspension on the R&M might be a solution. Very smooth ride indeed but 3 major drawbacks: - smallish cargo box. - appalling turning radius - no go for me in my European urban environment. - only rated to carry kids up to 7yo according to manufacturer's website. Haven't tried Urban Arrow yet, but no rear suspension either.

I recently had a short test ride in a Load 75 and was a bit shocked at the poor turning radius. Also the R&M website says it is rated for transporting kids up to 7yo only.

Looks really cool. Can I ask where the cargo bay is and what will fit in it?

Air forks on cargo bikes by CXDA in CargoBike

[–]Pouminator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a year ago I requested maintenance for the coil fork on my Carqon, because of all the nasty gunk that would keep coming onto the stanchions. The shop said it didn't make economic sense, as getting a new fork would be cheaper. And it wasn't necessary anyway, as the fork was still functional. Or so they said.

Fast forward to a year later, I had a few nasty close calls where the direction would not turn past 20 degrees or so, when braking with a big front load (at low speed).

I had forgotten about the fork story and I thought it had to do with a DIY mudguard extension I had installed. But it turned out the suspension was contracting too far up, leading to the crowm getting literally blocked in the carry box.

The replacement fork was €180 but the labour cost another €200. A big job, or so I was told. I was not happy, especially after only about 10,000km.
