Welcome to the group. Folding bikes are neat.

Oh thanks for pointing that out to me. Those bags will work for me. - Ray

Food is always good!

Post a pic with the panniers. I will eventually be commuting to work so I’ll need some.

Greetings, I too love the Vado series but can’t find any so I’m looking at this bike as plan B. About the only thing that I font like is the rear rack. I not a fan of the racks that sink down into the fender. I feel that I am forced to put on a pannier to carry anything. Other than that it looks...

Welcome to the site. Post some pics of your bikes. It’s always interesting to see how people use them.

Can they be purchased long distance?

I wish we had passenger line from south texas to San Antoni. i would take that rather than drive. Add San Antonio to Houston line would be nice too.

Well that’s a bummer

Hmm, is the fork twisted at the bottom?

When I was using regular tires I gave up on carrying a pump and switched entirely to the cartridge method. Would carry at least two cartridges and the inflator along with a spare tube and tire levers. Worked fine for me.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback.

That doesn't look hard at all. I would add slime to the tube as well.

Yes I saw that you can still ride while flat. That's a nice benefit.

I’ve never tried them but the look to be a good solution to flats. Try installing on front wheel. If not successful, go to your bike shop for assistance. Report back on how they ride :)

I did that too. Slime them up. A good alternative. I gave up on liners as I really feel they don’t do much good and they cause more of my flats. They Tannuus Armor looks like a good idea but haven’t tried them.

Yes to me it does have higher rolling resistance but I’m ok with that trade off. I just drop down one gear and keep on going. In keeping with the thought, turn a negative into a positive, it makes you stronger.

That is music to my ears. I have Tannus tires on my current bike and the no flats worry is a great feeling. Hop on and go is what I like.

I like taking my ipad everywhere with me and strapping it to the front rack appeals to me. I used to bungee it to the rear rack but I have noticed that my iPad is now bent a little So I don’t do that any more. I now use a pannier to haul it around. Have you had any flats on the Como?

I visited friends and family in Houston last month and got reacquainted with the bayou trails there. What a fun trip that was. Dragged my buddy on bike to downtown, hopped on the light rail, rode around Rice University area. Nothing but a fun trip. I used to commute to work (13 miles one way)...
