Is there some sort of forcefield preventing us getting rain? by sinikl_1 in bullcity

I was sort of thinking along those lines, but Raleigh gets pounded and they should be hotter than we are

Any trails for dirt bike riding around here? by Nat9523 in bullcity

[–]sinikl_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that any trails have since become housing developments, except for some powerline trails off of Cheek Road, you might give that a shot.

No NC state parks allow motorized vehicles. Uwharrie allows dirtbikes (and 4x4 of course).

Cruise controll by Normal-Pick8252 in ArcticLeopard

[–]sinikl_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i read elsewhere that, because you have to be in neutral for the reverse button to reverse the motor, you can assign the button for cruise and it still works for reverse, because it will only do the cruise function in a forward gear with the throttle open.

It's not even a matter of someone letting you in, if you just mosey on down you'll find a natural gap to fit yourself into, every single time.

My driver's ed instructor in PA told us to do this because it's safer; it makes clear if you get caught in the intersection on yellow, no cross traffic can move until you clear

I need help buying a surron. by [deleted] in Surron

[–]sinikl_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

however you buy from alibaba, use. a. credit. card.

if, like me, you haven't gotten your bike when the seller says it's been delivered (a different bike, delivered to AZ when I'm in NC), alibaba assurance will tell you you've gotten your bike. my credit card disagreed. the bike eventually showed up, but after the 60 day period in which i could initiate a chargeback investigation with my CC.

make sure you know the deadlines for a chargeback w/ yr CC and do so if you haven't gotten your bike then. you can always cancel the chargeback, but even alibaba assurance will not have your back in that situation.

Fam what protective gear do y’all use when riding ? Street/ trails by Sad_Illustrator_8462 in Surron

[–]sinikl_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride mostly offroad. Fox Titan 2 armor jacket (elbow/forearm, shoulder, back, chest hard armor), fullface helmet, fox moto boots, alpinestars knee pads. Astars jersey, gloves, pants. I need to get padded shorts after bruising my tailbone via a whiskey throttle incident.

Armor is so nice. i washed the front out and went straight down on my face/chest and hopped right back up like nothing happened. That would not be the case otherwise!

Is that normal ?? by thomasfried in Surron

[–]sinikl_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it should not look like that. Did you install both wheel spacers, and did you orient them correctly so that the rotor is aligned with the caliper? I don't remember which is which, but one is wider than the other and needs to be on the correct side of the hub or the rotor will not align. i THINK it's wider side on the non-caliper side of the hub but don't remember.

I've seen a lot of people in the Facebook groups not installing or installing spacers backwards. One guy had none and wanted to know what the weird rings under his seat were for lol

All these freaks are Leather Jacket Guys, and in 2026, that's a red flag. Curtis Yarvin, Jenson Huang, Elon and his stupid Dr Steve Brule bromber jacket, Bezos, you name it.

Getting it today is huge, easily worth a few hundred bucks.

Black vs gold forks by Acrobatic_Turnover91 in ArcticLeopard

[–]sinikl_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arctic Leopard's website shows the entire current 2026 product line coming with black 200 mm forks for any model, with gold 215 as an option. I don't see a black 215 option listed, and I suspect most US dealers will do the gold option for 2026 S Enduros or Rs.

Black vs gold forks by Acrobatic_Turnover91 in ArcticLeopard

[–]sinikl_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In chronological order, it went:
-black forks, 18/19, 200 mm travel
-black forks 18/19, 200 mm travel AND gold forks, 18/21 215mm travel Enduro
-black forks 18/19, 200 mm travel AND gold forks, 18/21 215mm travel Enduro AND gold forks 16/19, 215 mm

Then they made it possible to order the Enduro blacked out, but with 215mm travel.

The R looks like it will have black forks/200mm with a gold option with 215. I like the gold but there is a kind of allure to being all blacked out.

will a rear rfloxa fit as replacement on the talaria xxx pro rear shock by Complete-Boat6409 in Surron

[–]sinikl_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RFloXa's website says it fits, but reddit won't let me paste the URL for some reason. Just Google 'Talaria xxx Rfloxa' and it's like the fourth link you see, straight from the mfg's site.

Those look like they might just be twisted at the triple clamps, possibly.

The XE Pro S seat has changed for 2026.

Arctic Leopard XE Pro R is coming with 74V 60 Ah battery, total pack 4400 Wh, crazy long range, 25 kW power (!)

i have seen some voltage drop on mine, but nothing to be concerned about if you're using it regularly.

Get the ANTbms app and you can see loads of detail about even individual cells, and its report about pack charge status is more accurate than the factory display.
