You could wrap it if you’re concerned about dust. If worried about moisture you could put a desiccant container inside the wrap.

Here’s a link with somebody saying the claim is 2x the normal and 650hours of salt spray resistance: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/kmc-x11ept-eco-proteq-chain-review.html

I’m not seeing any specific claims by KMC (like ASTM B117). Did run across a site with test data for these chains, but it’s behind a pay wall. Most likely, nothing to be concerned with and chains are relatively inexpensive to replace.

I replaced the chainring, the chain (see attached), and the cassette. I bought Park tools rivet driving tool CT3.3 and the KMC 136 link chain. I need to count how many links I ended up with as my first go was a bit long. I should mention I replaced all these parts without regard to cost, as...

I’ll get to a point where I can post all the photos in order: but for now, here is the chainring and guard removed. This is the original, where the guard is bolted to the inside of the chainring. The praxis chainring is threaded, so the four bolts are through the crank and into the...

I’ll post a list of parts, tools used and snap some photos. The only question right now will be the exact number of chain links. Also still debating which guard or perhaps none. Gear ratios appear to shift everything ~one gear: curious how that will translate to ‘feel’ while riding.

I should be finished tomorrow. My new chainring isn’t tapped, so I had to order new bolts, which are two piece without replacing the guard, at least not yet. I should snap some photos of the old cassette (which I replaced) you can see I only rode on the smallest 2 sprockets as most of my...

I just purchased a 48tooth chainring, new cassette and longer chain. I’ll make the upgrade this weekend when the chain gets here. This is at just over 1000miles this year: I’ve been riding my Vado around town like I stole it, which has resulted in quite a bit of tooth wear: hence the...

The problem with much faster charging would be cooling the battery. I don’t believe they make any other charger or battery made for faster charging.

Yes, all batteries at those low levels will not perform the same as those in the say: 20 to 80% range.

This sounds very odd, if there is any ‘unreasonable’ resistance, try turning the key as the locking mechanism could be in the way. I drop the bottom end in first and sort of rotate it into place and there is a nice ‘click’ with little resistance. Then wiggle to make certain it’s fully...

Yes, my LBS delivered my Vado

There’s another thread on this with tables...I’ll find and link. The short answer is: yes 38 will be noticeable. Personally I’d rather go up as I like to ride fast and rarely climbing steep hills with the lower stock gears.

Sounds like a plan, good luck and have fun!

I would lay them down and use moving blankets. Unless you can strap them upright where they won’t contact each other, that would be better....not sure what options and equipment you have for this move. If nothing else assume they’re going to get bounced around unless welll secured/protected....

I’m connecting the watch to strava, then setup biking on the watch. Strava has whatever you name your bike, ‘Vado’, if you use the same name ‘Vado’ on the watch Strava combines all the data regardless of source..meaning either from the watch or from the specialized app. The watch offers a...

Yes, I use the VivoActive 4 with my Vado. Lots of data. At the moment none of it is working on the Garmin side as they are in the middle of a ransomware attack.

Not really something that will have a simple set of steps.

You could download all the rides as XML files and compile your own stats to your liking, without any outside app.

You can access all your rides from the app without the bike being actively paired. That said, the data is only each ride, not a dashboard with overall statistics compiled. Depending on what you want to see you may either want to pair it with something like Strava or use another device like...
