    That little boy Rusty is a keeper for sure. No stage fright at all. I clicked the link for the BMX Gull-Wings, but they were out of stock. I sure like them. At 67 and carrying my six lb.

    I am debating on doing this to my x-class. I find that the stock handlebars are in a perfect position when extended all the way up, however I notice that it always gets loose every 4 - 5 rides so I constantly have to tighten it. I had to take a sidewalk in Cleveland down a road I didn't feel comfortable riding on the actual road and when I hit a small bump the handlebars went down and rotated a bit.

The other time is on that road that I now hop on the sidewalk, because cars don't know that they should share the road with bicyclists (nothing new) and rage out. Interesting that you haven't had this issue, now I am wondering if I am just not tightening it enough. Right then, off to the gym to work on my arms to tighten the my handlebars better.

    I'm a complete noob to ebikes. I know this is going to sound like a dumb question. Shows how much I know about stems and handle bars. Could the original stem be turned 180 degrees to bring the handle bars closer to the rider? Is that a "no-no" as it may affect steering? Also is there a stem replacement that would add the extra couple inches rise for the original handle bar?

    • @RustyRoads
      @RustyRoads  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi CF! Great questions!
      1 - Technically yes, but it can affect steering. Something you can get accustomed to, but will not be as responsive
      2 - Yes, you can find stem extenders on Amazon

      With a $40-50 aftermarket shock, the 48 can have just as good of suspension as the 52. I love the way the 48s front shocks feel!

    I got the same exact bars before I saw your video!...waiting for my 52volt X...check my review on Amazon 😂 LOL
    Thanks for the great video confirming they work. Yep got my BMX stem too.
    The #1 thing I gotta know, do these Fenix gull wings really work (along with a short, compact BMX stem) without the necessity of lengthening cables and brake lines?
    Again, kudos to you for the great how to video...but are you good to go with just the bar swap?
    Thanks again👍

    • @RustyRoads
      @RustyRoads  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Tony! The cables and lines were just long enough thankfully. I did have to angle my brake levers down a bit more but it's actually more comfortable than before since I rotated the grips a bit as well.
      You should be good to go with just the new bars, the 52 will come with better tires than what was stock on my 48s, and a much better rear shock. My fingers are still crossed hoping AR updates the headlight on the 52 though.

I can't believe the way he punishes it and it keeps on going. I love the looks and power of the Ariel. The bars were another complaint of mine because it just doesn't look very comfortable, but you've seemed to have found the solution for that. I'd heard on other videos that the cables were too short to upgrade bars without having to extend the cables or tubes and wires. Glad to see it's not so complicated. I have a few weeks before I'll be ready to order. If Ariel didn't have such a wait it would be an easy decision.
