Vickytulla, there are many other videos that show how to check for chain wear, many are not good ways but will give you some understanding.

I chose that video because I felt it showed very clearly the wear or looseness in a piece of chain.

The chain is one of the most simple things to check on a bike and also one of the most important, along with engine oil, tire pressure, and spoke condition.

The best quality, most expensive chain still needs the same attention that a cheap chain does, cleaning+inspection+lubrication+adjustment. The quality one just lasts longer.

As others have said, chain and sprockets should be replaced as a set. I hope this helps.

RX1 vs RX3

A close friend and a die hard rider after getting influenced by my RX3 went to test more bikes from Zong people...
Recently they launched RX1 which is kind of a even more slimmer and kind of a mini version of (already minified version of grand tourers AKA RX3)



Feedback#

Pro#
RX1 has exceptionally excellent low end torque with only 198cc to jiuce out...
RX1 has tighter turning radius, more agile, light, easy to manuver...
RX1 has a large boot you can actully put helmet inside
RX1 has center stand factory fitted
RX1 has factory fitted charger lighters
RX1 has exceptionally good front Flood light (i means it)
RX1 has tubeless tires and alloys

As by far its clear the factory has learned alot from there RX3 and digested feedback and put every thing "as factory default" in there new RX1 which is THUMBS up!!!

Bike is excellent partner for skinny and short height people...

CONS#
- Bike pukes out all its power what so ever just reaching 100kmh ( so highway cruising is no go... you will be riding on the yellow line one the side...)
- It also has a low ground clearance and a chubby guy or little over loading will make it even worse
- Front Wheel is 17' it should have been atleast 18'
- Front shocks travel ( also RX3) has less travel then what we really need in adventure sports
- Rear suspension is not atjustable have to live with it..

Let see what we find out more...

All mountains have turned white and we are just warming up wings to take both legend of Zongs to bang em up in white matter out there on the peaks...

...

I hate my self for over loading and end up over loading it on every damn single tour...

I wonder whats the best way to brace the camp, Sleeping mat and bag as they cant fit in trunks...

this time I had more out side the trunks then actually in trunks..

We bike camp with small single wheel trailers. Very easy to make and it keeps the weight down. Of course, we leave them at camp if we are riding any hard or steep terrain. Nice to have room for a full pillow and bag. I'll see if I can find a photo.

I can fit ALL of my clothing, camping gear, food and spares in Tourfella luggage without filling the top box very much. I do this by using ultralight backpacking gear. My tent is 3lbs 6oz and fits in an area of about 6x12 (Big Agnes Copper Spur 2 person UL), inflatable sleeping pad is 1 pound and the size of a water bottle (Klymit insulated V), my pillow is inflatable and is the size of a lighter and weights nothing (Klymit), my sleeping bag is down and packs down to about 6x8 inches and weights 1 pound (Marmot Quark). I use a jetboil which is compact. I put the various items in dry sacks which do a decent job of being compressed and staying small and doubles to keep things dry and no cross contamination. The problem is the smaller it is the more expensive in many cases. For clothing I bring 2 pairs of everything only. I wear one set for a few days and wash it and switch back and forth. Exception is bringing 4 pairs of underwear. I bring water shoes which are compact for camp life. For foods I use mountain house dehydrated. Compact and light. I use my top box as a table and pannier as a seat.

Hope this helps!

Joe
