Hi CristerT,
this is my first answer/input to this forum, I read-only for long time and learn a lot about skiking.
I tried to translate the most important parts. Please excuse the mistakes.
Since may 2008 a new release of of the Sike V07 is available.
Some improved details:
- a colored more extensive multi-lingual operating instructions. Some good tips are included, but there are some mistakes, that have to be avoided.
- a new packing with nice fotos, which is a little bit smaler as before.
- the outer packing around the skikes is dropped.
- the brake caliper has got a reinforced construction. It is thicker and the lateral adjustment is minimized.
- the x-o-leg adjustment (bow leg/knock knies adjustment) has got a toothed lock washer to avoid sliping.
- mounting bolts of the belts are made of plastic instead of sharp-edged metal. Only for new skikes, not for spare parts.
-improved wheel bearings. They run smoother than the older ones and look like the Black-Rain bearings from powerslide. Only for new skikes, not for spare parts.
- the brake adjustment is smoother than before.
- the paintwork looks more regular, the colors are unchanged. The finish looks thinner and rawer at some places.
- the tread looks like the older one, but the wheel-rubber seems to be softer and tougher. The imprinted max. pressure increased from 6,3 to 7,0 bar.
This is the 3rd release of version7. Skike calls it a facelift, without increasing the version-number. The resale value of the older skikes are stable, new spare parts hold them state of the art.
Franky
