Biktrix Juggernaut review
- Thread starter PJungnitsch
- Start date
While waiting for a brake rotor for my juggernaut, I tried the velo plush seat on my hardtail. With padded shorts I was very surprised with the saddle. It doesn't look like much, but I wasn't sore. In fact I never thought about the seat until after the ride. Try it without the padding before I decide to keep it.
Does anyone know if the diameter for the handlebar is 25.4 or 31.8? I don't see it marked, but suppose I could use a caliper to double-check. This is to ensure any replacement I get is the correct diameter (2015 Juggernaut).
I'm getting lazy in my old age. I did eventually loosen it off and check and mine is 31.8.
This is the bar ended up installing on my Juggernaut: 32 degree sweep, 114 mm rise.

Much more comfortable and looks good.
Would you post some pics of the bars on the bike. They sound great
Attaching some pictures as requested. As I say, much more comfortable handlebars for me. You can see I still have the stem in the full upright position and may tinker with that and lower it a bit. As mentioned this has a 32 degree sweep. It's good for me, but even more sweep (40-45 degrees) might be even more comfortable for some.
I also show the Thudbuster and Rear rack I installed.

Transferred over my monkey lights from my old winter bike, tested them in the garage:

Did you guys see this: http://electricbikereview.com/biktrix/juggernaut/
Just road mine yesterday to see how far the battery might go. (11.6 ah). Mostly flat, mostly hard surface. 18 psi. Road 40 miles and the battery was down to a disappearing last bar on the c965. 5-6 miles at 35kph . level 4 gear 6. The rest of the time level 3 gear 4 or 5 (easy cruising) 20-25 kph. Think I could go over 50 miles on the easy cruising speed. No throttle only. Very little elevation except slight grade on a rail trail. Wheel size set at 29 since fat bike tire diameter is about that. This will be the ultimate FL vacation bike.
Does this fork from Luna look like the same one that you installed on your Jug?

How is that one working out?

A little bit different, mine has the round brace. That one looks like the on the Rad Rovers, as in http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/suspension-collapse.3350/
Hard to pin the 'forks of many names' down though. Mine has been good so far, lasted all winter without problem

Which model Brooks saddle did you get? I thought they were all comfortable?
Thanks for your info on the bars.... I'm a new owner of a Jug 6 weeks already rode it 300 miles.
I'm 60 years old and want the bars so I'm upright. I just ordered the one you recommend. Love
As I mentioned, those bars are are good for me. If I had to do it again, I might even get something with more sweep (like 45 degrees), more like a beach cruiser.
I also ride mainly on hard surfaces or loose gravel....not much on trails and no snow. I swapped the tires out for these:

They roll much better and quieter. Shop around though...I paid just over half the price shown there. (I also managed to sell my Kenda Juggernaut tires on Kijiji).
