Most welcome. Good luck. Have fun.

Think I know where you're going with this: think you already know, The conical piece I speak of is on the wheel side of the frame. The frame has an indent, the conical piece goes in there, penetrates the frame surface but creates a flat spot for nut of fastener. It's the "concave" part on the...

-Karol: Each of the racks I installed had thru-bolts that fastened "thru" the rack mount, then the frame, the conical piece inside frame, washer, then a nylock nut on the other end. The original bolts that came on bike were too short to add the rack. I'm not a fan of "bolts that came with it"...

Your new bike is awesome. You can ride up and down the famous Santa Monica pier. I was born there. Well, not the pier I don't think. Relax. Have fun.

Update from 6/18 post: Applied clear product to 3 places. Lower section of step-thru where I always hit with my foot at front, lower seat post, front under handlebars where cables and brake lines rub paint when turning. VERY EASY TO INSTALL. I spent 7 years in high school but didn't struggle a...

Golf shoes: 2 yrs old, 1 yr old. L to R

Golf shoes here. Where I live the weather is very dry. Plastic spikes only in wet weather, somewhere else, (metal spikes 25 years ago) and molded traction soles do the trick now. I buy 2 pairs a year. Footjoy, Skechers, Ecco. They become the next years regular shoes other than work as the...

Looks like the PakRak Panniers (IB-BA9) fit pretty nicely to the rack with commuter bag clipped on. Concept seemed nicer than just unzipping a side pocket to have a bigger bag billow out. You know I'm tearing it off next time I lose my balance in a tight spot. Might come into play as we try...

Recently installed 2 rear racks/bags on a Como 4 and Como 3. Como 4 is the Iberra PakRak carrier with Commuter Bag. Como 3 is the Topeak Explorer with MTX Trunkbag EX. They both fit well and seem very quiet back there so far. I also don't quite understand the difference between the disc and...

Upon further reading, it does say that. Mystery solved. Thanks.

Thanks Nova but I hope its not that involved. We'll see.

Appreciate both efforts. Thank you.

Recently got this inflator but am just a bit curious. With a Shrader valve I have always known the stem needs to be depressed then air flow. Most devices have a something on the center to depress said stem. The ProBike CO2 inflator has no such stem depresser. It's a hollow opening that screws...

2shady: have Como 3 and 4. Neither have shown signs of tipping over whilst on kickstand. But yes, it does hold bike rather upright.

The manufacturers website should remove all doubt. The Como 3.0 is an awesome bike and class 1, 20mph.

Does your bike monitor battery temp? If so, keep withing the guidelines of manufacturer recommendations. Basic battery theory dictates that hot temps are batteries greatest foes.

A few days ago someone mentioned that the Como 4 is a class 1 bike. It is not. It's a class 3 @28mph. Got one. It's awesome! The Como 3 is a class 1. Wife has one. Also awesome. I'm 225# and ride it like I stole it. My friend is another 40+# and rode mine yesterday. I had to chase him down...

I also bought a clear protective film on Amazon to arrive Sunday, info below. We have 2 step thru's and I'm constantly dragging my shoes across the paint as I climb onto the bike. Maybe a bit underneath between rear of front tire and front of frame. VViViD 3M Scotchgard Clear Paint Protection...

I'm liking that Topeak setup/bag. Thanks for the input.
