CaptainKBLS Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If I were to do it again with my experience now, I would not buy the V8. I would have love to try one of those KS14 or 16. I"m not sure if there is a problem with my V8 but every time I ride the V8 now, I can't seem to stay straight without constantly nudging the wheel right or left (kindly like if your car needs alignment). On the ACM, I just ride straight and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like balancing on a knife edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ACM, I just ride straight and enjoy. The V8 is just very wobbly if you're used to the good-controllability-wide-stance, direction-stable-like-a-boulder-rolling-down-a-hill ACM. When I first tried the V8 after >1000km on the ACM, took me 10 minutes before I stopped riding in a sinus line like a drunk rider (due to constantly oversteering as the V8 reacts so damn sensitive to the slightest knee bend while the ACM is controlled more by the upper body). So might very well be the ACM ruined the V8 for you. It really is a good-natured, comfortable 16 incher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I got the ACM and didn't know the difference, the ride on the V8 seemed fine. Now, I've become more critical of the V8. It'll be awhile before I can get a KS to play with.

On the ACM, I just ride straight and enjoy. After 650 km on my V8 riding only in the forward direction, I'm also having this issue with the tendency to veer right or drop to the right side. I do pump my tires to 40-45 psi. Still. No idea why. Will get a tire change at the shop and see how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
