Bullit
The Bullit is a new model of cargobike by www.larryvsharry.com/ and it's lightweighted, fast and extremely manouverable. On wet ground it can get its own will if you rely completely on the front-brakes only. Use your back-brakes is a recommendation which is still true with the bullit.
Getting started
The steering
two things that took us a while to figure out:
- when doing the steering-rod be sure that when the handlebar is centered the steering-rod is one finger-width from the frame. If it's closer then it will collide with the frame on bumpy roads. If it's more distanced than the steering to the left will get your frontwheel in touch with the steering-rod which is something you want avoid. Take your time to figure out how the steering works.
- when applying the handlebar (height-adjustable) you will find it difficult to get the whole steering really tight ("das lenklager hat spiel"). To adjust it, you need to:
- close the quicklock of the heightadjustable handlebar really hard
- open the screw below
- take a 36-wrench to the tiny screw below and pull clockwise to add pressure downwards and fix the bearings-
