@lemur ahh, so clever! your scaling really threw me off.

@Lia oooh, a camera mount - that's a good thought. although you'd have to be very comfortable with the added need for clearance so you don't go snagging it on anything, if that's what it is.

damn, i have my thinking cap on, but so far not coming up with anything...

@Ramphex from what i've seen, i don't think they do. : \

@NotSure really! that's good to know. thanks for posting it here.

maybe everyone's too busy out riding?

no problem! i hope you start getting more normal mileage with a simple fix.

@NotSure i have heard about that milk crate thing, but haven't had to try it myself. as for getting ahold of FM, i can say from experience that emailing them is probably the worst way to get ahold of them -- the best way is to call them, by far. and keep trying, until you get through to an agent. sometimes their lines are busy!

i know that the "1 lb of PSI for every 10 lbs of body weight" is a good rule of thumb, but you might want to try increasing the PSI a bit to see if that helps. aside from that, i do agree that sounds like unusually bad mileage no matter what. you might want to contact FM just to see what they say.

@blkwalnutgrwr now THAT'S a MacGyver solution if i ever saw one, haha. well done!
