Why is the Cush Core only in the rear?

 

[Tim29]

On my personal bike i don’t see a reason to carry the weight up front and ebikes already nose heavy. Also only use snake skin case Mary.
In this case the customer just asked me to duplicate what i have on my bike.
With the wide 36.5 internal 29 wheel the side wall is stout and you can run 18-24psi with minimal tire roll and have never broken or dented a front wheel.
In the rear i find i can lower my pressure from 40 down to 28-34 with the core.
And the bike owner only runs 20-24 psi in rear. He a mid pack cat2 enduro rider on his good days.

Great build, amazing attention to detail - looks fantastic . It's a beast !

What is it with all these commuter bikes on here at the moment though ? ;-)

Keep an eye on your lower chain stay pivot bearings there poor quality front factory and fail quickly.
Once they fail they are quite challenging to remove.
Recommend replacing with a good quality max bearing before they fail
