    Vado SL EQ 4.0 Chainring

    My wife hates the "pants protector" on her Vado SL...she is not a city commuter who wears pants...she wears proper cycle gear and changes at work...and 40 of the 60km commute is on gravel, so it gets pretty dusty/mucky faster than most bikes...and I being the "designated" bike maintainer, I find...
