    Moonlander Modification Bear Bell - A simple bell that jingles as I go down the trail. With Southern California's trails being as busy as they are it has been a nice addition to the bike. Most cases I will round a corner to find hikers already standing off to the side of the trail. The...

    Me and the Moonlander!

    Hello Bullsnake, There is definitely more rolling resistance at times. Usually because of the tire pressure being to low. What I find interesting is how the Moonlander seems to make up for this resistance in other ways. The extreme traction allows me to ride longer on the steep/loose...

    I thought that might happen. Oh well, I hope to ride by today! I am not sure of the weight of the tires, but the Moonlander weights 38 pounds. Tire pressure plays a huge roll in how this bicycle performs. I run anywhere from 18 psi on the street to 8 psi in the soft terrain. Thanks for the...
