Hey has everyone been bleeding their brakes at 3000 mi as suggested by the manual? I’m getting close and debating whether I should take it to the shop soon or wait until the season ends.
Collision happens about 22 seconds into the video. You can see me moving the bike forward a little already prior to the crash because the car looked sketchy and was getting too close for comfort. Looks like the left pannier took the hit so no contact with the frame. The right pannier also took the brunt of the fall on the side, so the only visible damage was the bent front brake lever. At this speed, do you think I should be concerned about frame damage, especially since it didn't collide directly into the frame/rear but rather my soft shell pannier? I had to readjust it and put on a new zip tie but other than that the pannier looked fine too. Seems to ride perfectly normally on my way back home afterwards and no loose bolts upon inspection. I put in a ticket with Ryvid just to be sure but I'm curious what those of you with some experience with this also think. First crash on the Anthem so it's definitely annoying.
Got rear ended today by a beat up car that I think lost control of its brakes or gas pedal at a red light stop. Thankfully all is intact (including myself most importantly!) except the brake lever which got bent. I poked around on the forum and found some replacements that folks shared from Amazon a while back. It’ll be my first time replacing it though- do you just loosen the nut and bolt holding the original lever and that’s it? How does the plunger go back in?
Hey everyone I noticed my headlight is a little wobbly. Is this normal or is there a bolt that needs tightening inside the assembly? Thanks!
Hey what do you all think are good spare parts to purchase for the Anthem? Nothing on my bike actually needs replacing- just wondering if you have recommendations for parts that have broken for you in the past. I’ve heard an extra kickstand for instance is good to have lying around in case it gets snapped. Thanks!
