    Transporting in the Rain

    I transport my two bikes on a hitch rack on my truck. Wondering if it will do any damage to the bikes if it’s pouring rain? I’m in Florida and can guarantee it will rain most every day in the summer. Can’t use a cover because it obstructs the tail lights. Any thoughts?

    Como Crank Sprocket Change.

    Love my Como but felt it was geared too low for where and how I ride so I had my LBS change out the crank sprocket. Went from the factory 40T to a 48T and what a difference. My comfortable cruising speed went from 18mph to 23mph with the same effort. I can now max it out at 28mph without...

    Purchased a Como 3.0 last week.

    I purchased a Rad Rover fat tire over two years ago which I like and have almost 3K miles on but was ready for something a little higher end, lighter and faster and settled on the Como. After two weeks and a hundred miles I have to say they are worlds apart in riding experience. I plan to use...
