Had my first ride with the liners today and it was SUPER bumpy. Suggestions?

They do make the ride harder but the ride is better than puncture proof tyres. Be careful where the ends overlap. The end wore a hole in my tube. The tip is to sandpaper the end down so it tapers to nothing rather than leaving it as a ridge. Also add some talcum powder to reduce the friction. Hope that helps.

Mine run nice and smooth.Check that the overlap ends are flat.Stay with them.JT

Hi Kathryn: I have been using the Tuffy liner and the results have been excellent. They shouln't give the bumpy sensation, it's not suppose to happen if you install it properly which sometimes is the tricky part of it. I usually don't overlap both ends very much, just a little, between 0.5-1.0 inch at the most. Overall, it's a great product.Regards,Francisco B.

I know my Charge TTI is not spring loaded. It's actually a little stiff, but give it time I know it will loosen up.

The head is very stiff and if it's cold out, it's virtually impossible to get any smooth action because of the stiffness. There is a post in cheesycam on how to change the fluid; I did that BUT: a: it was only applicable to the tilt operation as the site did not cover panning. In any case, even that did not fully solve the problem. Cannot really recommend this head unless you're at the equator!!

Adjust the trucks, it will make it a lot better! I had the same issue. if you don't know how to do this look it up on YouTube there are several tutorials on how. Good luck :)

I haven't really noticed any worse ride. With 800lbs in the bed and about 10lbs of pressure the ride becomes more stable. we are picking up our small 5th wheel camper next week, so I'm hoping it helps control the extra weight.

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

Ours lost the majority of the comfy feeling in the first 3 months of ownership. We wound up throwing it out and wasted 400.00 dollars. See if they will take it back with a credit. Good luck!

Hi Diamond Girl,Try lubricating the front wheel with some WD40. Maybe the front wheel is sticking a bit and not responding to the handle! Good luck, Alison.

Personally, I've had the same problem. I would suggest getting new bearings (I prefer Reds), and wheels (Sector 9 is the best in my opinion). Your trucks should be fine. Oh, and just to keep your bearings moving properly, invest in some speed cream.

I had same problem but used 3-in-1 oil and gauze pads to remedy it. It's all ball bearings after all. Plus, there was filth and muck all over the place

I had/have an awful experience with this set-up. Very jarring ride + noise = very disappointed !

It's a pretty stiff ride. I take it on a trail with a portion with coarse gravel. It's very shaky.

I think your seat is so thick and rigid. If it is, you can get a new seat which is thinner and more flexible. Look for the plastic and cheaper ones at walmart.

I raised the back to make it more level because the steep angle was too challenging for me. This helped. However, its near impossible to use the machine without holding the handle bars, because of the resistance. Could be dangerous, too.

FRANK, also make sure you use some/all of the grip sand with the clear, or when wet / snow etc. it will be like GLAIR ICE / very slipply / if that will be an issue for you. PAUL K.

I guess we didn't notice shaking either at freeway speeds. We usually have it packed to the brim so lot's of weight inside. Just make sure you tighten it down and check it every often.

Sounds like something got messed up during transport. I would have it sent back and get a new one.
