Hi Richard,
Thanks for making me realize how badly I slacked off in making something out of the bike box club "group"!
I wish I could directly respond to your query, but I have never ridden a countdown import bike nor any other of the Chinese sour…
For people who need more hauling capacity than a pannier or basket can provide.
In the last storm I had to ride through 1 meter deep water in Newport... One word of advice.. If you run certain road wheels check them for water. I have a set of Bontrager Race X Lites, once I removed my tires months after a bunch of low water cros…
Sealed cartridge bearing?

- Hey Barefoot. Yup, it's here. Still haven't used it for shopping though, but it works well for the kids. I now also have a custom made sun canopy. Next on order is a custom made bench cushion. I know, I know. Spoiled kids.
