The roads I just got were made this year and were made in Spain. That's all I know on the topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersdark Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Huh. My set of Road 5's (that recently came off for the winters) required very minimal weights - IIRC 5 front and 15 rear, something like that. My Anlas winters are a lot worse - some 30g or so each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it say on the tyre (tire) ? If so I'll check mine and let you know. But not today, it is hammering it down and the bike is under it's blankie.

SleepyC Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Went out on my first decent ride yesterday. I love this bike. So Smooth.. Did 250 miles, started at 6am, it was 34 deg F, bit chilly 🥶, but the heated grips kept it civilized. Hit the Rock Hall before heading home... fun day! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick123 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Did oil change and and the oil filter replacement. After that I started to finish heated grips installation but before I completed it got a big package in front of the door. Inside the box Heed engine guards, headlights guards and GPS mounting bar. Nice surprise since I was expecting it to arrive 2 days later. Without any hesitation I installed everything. Bike looking even better now and definitely more protected. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucwinters Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Did 1st oil change at 665 miles today after doing a 190 mile ride this morning. What did the factory use to fasten that oil drain bolt - red thread lock and superglue? Thought that the plastic oil fill cap was cheap/cheesy looking. Ordered a grey anodized aluminum one w/ O-ring from AliExpress to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik pretty much nobody uses those values - steel plug into an aluminum oil pan, it's gonna pull the threads out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgp! Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Took it out of town for coffee, working toward that first 600 mile oil change. Started migrating bits from one of the old bikes to this one, like GPS mount and the like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
