    For Sale Bargains

    I think there is a disc brake mount on fork, so there might be a potential for upgrade. Not sure about back. If I know Shiano well there is no on/off switch on battery.

    I don't see why not. Best to ask Switch. I heard they are quite helpful before they take your money.

    Does it really matter if it is 23 or 26psi? As long as you won't pump up to a crazy high pressure you should be OK. Most important is if you like the ride not the number.

    Pumps usually have pressure gauge attached. While riding a bike you just feel it.

    How Do You Track Your Rides Without an App?

    Take away. I don't feel the need to track anything nor to lock myself to yet another screen. Live the moment, breathe the air, listen to the sound of nature.
