Depends entirely on if you ride to the level of the swinger on the bike or ride like a cock

How would I know? I'm still trying to figure out how I didn't end up going out on my own at Taupo.

He's swung before, so he's got a leg up already.

Swingers are the soft ones I reckon, that Warwick homo wouldn't finish the day with a bit of a sore wrist the 2011 nationals round one. Fuckin pussy!

Kai will just have to ride sore!

haha nah I know the basics, I was taking the piss.. cause I didn't get why would he think the steering is light when I had mentioned (I think) it has hub center steering with no castor angle, its pretty much vertical I recon. That setup leaves a big contact patch from lock to lock.

recon, i never complained as a swinger. and now that im driver I got swingers that tap me after 2 laps and want padding and upholstery on the tray and tail so they don't get bruised.

I just need to clone myself.. that would be a winning combo.

With a vertical steering axis, turning the wheel is not trying to lift the chair, and there is no more resistance wherever the wheel is angled. Add castor and you are, and at the same time as the wheel turns, it leans to accomodate the tyre distorting. So it's "heavier" to turn.

What this means, is that without castor the steering is lighter. It'd be fuckin neer impossible to ride though, because you'd get the mean speed wobble at next to no actual speed.
