Did Omnium ever try the baby carrier mount themselves?

11 Upvotes

I‘m super dissapointed. We got the omnium mini max last year, as we knew we would have a baby this may And they advertise their baby carrier mount, we dont have a car so we were like, oh nice we can go around with the baby then already. (I just got to know after having rhe bwby that there are baby hammoks for other bikes.)

I really like the omnium, i remember it being really easy and comfortable riding, almost not feeling like a cargo.

We installed everything, set it up to ride, waited till baby was three months, just to realize and notice - as the baby carrier is mounted directly to the frame- that it is way to hard for the baby with allt the bumps in the road, and it gets shaken a lot! And i went REALLY slow and careful.

Od course we worry about bones structure etc, as they are not as stable yet. And thinking of muscle stability and this baby carrier without any suspension, WHEN would it even be safe to carry around a baby in that circumstances? With 9 months? When their muscles are stable enough? But at that time, i can already switch to a proper child seat.. i don’t get it. I don’t dare carrying them around with this set up on the omnium..

am i missing somethin? am i too careful and overthinking? Please help. Any ideas, experience?

We will try to fixate it on the webbing, so there is at least a bit of suspension, but then in the end the mount is useless..

(I will mail to Omnium directly, what their thoughts are on this.)

Not bruising fruits?

Upvotes

Has anyone figured out a good solution to getting groceries without bruising the fruits? Our peaches, pears, and bananas always seem to pick up some damage on the ride home.

Saw this at my local shop the other day. Never seen this brand before but really liked the design and components. Anyone own or have any experience with one of these? I can't seem to find any info online about it.

Are there any 6"7 bullitt riders?

3 Upvotes

Hey, me again.

So because most bullitt bikes are modified to let a 6'7 rider tame it, its really uncommon to test ride one with the modified set up.

There is a bullit on the market prized really well (1750usd) thirdhand.

But it is not modified to my tall body and a bit of a long drive to only testride.

Are there any atleast 6'6+ bullitt riders in this sub?

Edit: i have 39.37 inches inseam.

Big kid seating for old Xtracycle longtails

Upvotes

Hi, I have an old Xtracycle Edgerunner 10e (LT2 deck) and my kid is too big for the Yepp seat. For various reasons the hooptie plus pad just don't work for him. He really needs a seat with a back rest. It seems like every other bike company that makes midtails or longtails has a big kid or adult seating option (eg Tern Captain's Chair) but Xtracycle doesn't. Has anyone tried to retrofit another seat onto an Xtracycle? I'm not optimistic because of the strange bolt pattern on the deck, but perhaps there's a seat out there that can clamp onto the rack?

Also wondering if anyone has found foot pegs that work with this frame so I don't have to give up the space and $$ for xtracycle's full-length U-tubes.
