    I'm pretty sure mine is the 42T and with the bikespeed-rs I can easily reach 28mph on flats. I usually also stay around 75-80rpm. Sometimes I'd like to go even faster and wish I had a larger chainring so I might go for a 48T in the future. But 28 is a pretty good speed. I also tested the Trek...

    Thanks for the photos and ideas. I like moving the bell down below, I'll give that a shot. Regarding using the miniUSB port from the display, I was able to connect it and it works. Not sure if it's charging, but it will maintain the level. I was even able to go on a long ride with my phone...

    Hey Kristjan, Thanks for the reply. I got the bike today and rode it home about 12 miles, which is similar to what my daily commute looks like. I got a pair of Shimano A530 pedals as I like to ride with a pair of mtb shoes. Also got the rack and looking for some panniers for it. The water bottle...

    Hey Kristjan, Thanks for sharing your experience with this bike. I tested out the tough road this weekend and loved it and will be buying it this week. A few questions for you : Have you ridden it on any singletracks? wondering how well it might hold up to go off-road a bit. what bike rack did...
