So you couldn't unseat the bead off the rim? Maybe a pair of channel locks, squeeze the tire together getting as close to the bead as possible. Never had that problem. Set it out in the sun. Run over it with something bigger:)

Maybe applies to bicycle tire changes, on motorcycle tire changes, the rim has a channel in the middle that is smaller in diameter than the outer rim portion. The tire beads have to be in this channel to get the tire bead over the rim on the install and removal. So the portion that is 180...

Think I have a couple of those crankbrothers out there. What I found, is when the o.d. of the spindle the pedal rotates on is larger than the rest of the platform, the foot has a tendency to go to sleep, from that axle forward. Don't think I have any spiked pedals in use anymore, just went...

That’s the pedals I use. Looks like standard issue Spesh. And really enjoying the shoe without heels.

I just bought and am using a pair of Jim Green African Barefoot Trooper boots to ride in. Really comfy and breath well. https://jimgreenfootwear.com/store/african-ranger-barefoot-boot-fudge/

Looked back at the point I changed the chain out on the como and started using gear oil for the chain lube for a reference, as I was curious how this would pan out. 980 miles when i changed it out, right now 2700 miles of around town riding, hauling groceries lot of the time. I'm easy on...

Tube it baby. Good tube. Bad tube leak air.

You have the big 200mm rotors on? I've found them to work very well.

That's how I have my Vado and Como set up. Don't do the races though. Bike calculator sure has changed, haven't been to the website for a while. I'd suggest using gear oil for the chain. I have been doing that for a while and show no wear on the chain or gears. When it gets dirty I just...

I put a 36t chainring on my Como 5 and Vado 5. ;) And left the chain guard off.

There's my grocery getter. The front pizza rack had it's ears trimmed, and the basket was from wally world, holds gloves, coozy, pant ties, misc. stuff. The satchel around the steering neck holds the cable and padlock, they are heavy and don't ride the pizza rack because of. And then to the...

I found seat height recommendations a little conservative on the Spec site, but generally good. Prior the seats were higher.

I pedal my Como quite a bit without assist. Find no problems, it is a heavy bike with fat heavy tires, so take that into consideration. Definitely takes more than a lighter bike with narrow tires. 25% assist I found useful to emulate normal bike action. I found the front rack on the Como...

welcome from Lawrence.

This is what happens when you don’t buy Spec.
