Can I ask if Chris had it repaired, replaced or did you buy a new one? Mine is at 4500 km (2,800 mi) and the lock out does nothing. I ride at 270 psi as I weigh 104 kg (230 pounds) and often carry up to 10 kg / 22 pounds of stuff. When the lock out worked I used it for road riding, and turned...

Wow, from memory when my belt snapped it looked almost the same in terms of your tear pattern. I have not time to upload what happened yet but that is uncanny how the snap pattern looks like my snap pattern. I showed a bloke at work that dabbles in hobby steam engines etc., he reckons the snap...

Gates Belt Drive snapped in commuter traffic at 4310 km! Story coming.... #gates #beltdrive #gatescarbondrive #gatescdx

Refitted the back wheel with the new Tannus this arvo. Tested on the dusty bush tracks around home, now that is different & Good Different! LBS put 30psi in. Being a commuter I run 55psi up front & should have dropped it to 40 or so for this fun run ⚠️. Looking forward to the daily commute next...

Ha ha yes good call that one. .... there has been a few times in my later years when I needed to wet a tyre with my finger just to read it! I'm getting Johnny Watts in a few weeks so I'll ask the LBS to align the psi with the stem. Will save trying to find my dodgy phone photos too. Good tip...

Great idea, I ducked into a store that other day without locking it as I was only 10 feet away. Could not keep my eyes off the bike, felt like I was being rude to the shopkeeper. Next time I'm doing this. I am paranoid but for the quick visits you've saved me using the Extreme Abus & the New...

Getting Tannus fitted today. Thanks guys for your tyre pressure replies. This video shows what did it for me. 2nd puncture in too short a time. 😡 https://www.instagram.com/p/CSIRCYRh6kg/?utm_medium=copy_link

Regarding helmet a mounted light, comment I've made elsewhere about a New Zealand made 1700 lumen light they ship globally - forgot to add this light comes with a handlebar mounted remote control for beam intensity and on/off function: Winter is coming down under, so the days being shorter is...

Wow I didn't think they existed, I'll have to pick this one up in another lifetime, Byshulz would be my choice if I ordered again. Best of both worlds I reckon but looking at my seat height in reference to my SD seat clamp I may have struggled getting decent drop.

Nelson-Rigg 'rear' bag & Thudbuster: Got the Thudbuster & a bag for the Super Delite rear MIK compatible rack. 3 weeks riding. Thudbuster is doing what it does, I'm happy & so is my back. I've again tinkered with the rear suspension & have gone back to 290 with firm & 80% lock out (LOR8...

Ha ha! 👍 Thank you! Purchasd acrylic workshop bifocal protective glasses. The best of what is offer at stores here. The bifocal magnification is quite good however the rest of the lens at standard vision is not clear compared to other safety glasses I've used, eg the medical and other workshop...

I noticed this when I picked up my road bike up from a service. The mechanic said the newly fitted pads (or rotors) got contaminated 'after' I left the workshop ... because they could not have been contaminated in their workshop. They cleaned them up anyway. Will never know really where or how...

I had issues with the update too. I've since learnt it's actually a USB micro (not a USB proprietary cable) that you can use to do this, however prior to learning that I eventually managed to get the update by putting the Kiox on the bike, ensuring my mobile phone was connected using Bosch app...

Wearing my bifocals on the bike means the bugs, dust, wind & rain will get their way with me. I've tried several sets of safety glasses over 30 years & found an arcylic medical type.. at AUD$20 they perfect ... except no bifocal model. You've done the yards here and I thank you for posting...

Like your ratchet strap idea. I have no beam to suspend from so instead used 2 step ladders with a piece of hardwood through the rear carrier. Never had a puncture on the old Supercharger. Can't say the same for the new SD.... So glad now though there's no cassette and derailleur to service!

Great post thank you. I've made an appointment to visit LBS tomorrow & hoping to put the Kiox side by side with the Nyon.

Agreed, I was surprised and even more surprised how gentle travelling over kerbs was, something I'd never done before. These are great bikes and a real pleasure to ride. I did as you say go so soft a few months back and found it aggravated things for me - so I went the other way and eventually...

Distance vision is fine but with age my reading vision has suffered. Might have to just get over it & just don the bifocals when riding 👓. thank you for your detailed reply
