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...
