Thanks Chris, but not convinced it compares to an an E90 or 46 (on the road). We have had our Freelanders for some time so we know the score with them and have had E36's in the family before and SV certainly knows his Beemers.
Thanks! it's a good 7ish mm from the look... seems plenty and I've hit a few rough tracks and big dips to test it. All seems legit.
Interesting side effect... the Freebo is now BANG ON the actual speed. Before it was out, these tyres show on gps and testing to be exact, so now I know my speed properly
Oh I'm sure - but as someone with a history of lumbar problems no other seat and driving position has produced so little pain (or helps keep me awake, TOO much comfort isn't good) on long journeys. Although the lack of seat adjustment is an arse as well, the high position means less pressure on the backs of legs and good lumbar support is helping the pain issues, so I'm pretty happy. I know quality wise it won't hit high end german cars, but in the end comfort and practicality beats luxury and feel - and there is a difference!
Also nothing else I have owned quite eats pot holes like this thing can, and that DOES affect ride quality too.
however, the closest part of the cup to the wheel accepts most of a finger width nearly to the second knuckle, which isn't far off that. where are you measuring? See above post! I could be measurting the wrong part! My "off road" is not very hard as I also need it reliable and smooth for motorway driving to meetings... not quite as demanding as the alps!
