2. Your bikes came with flat tires? I use talc on mt tubes too. 3. My bike does not make any rubbing noises when I push it around the garage. I think it would be very unusual for the alignment marks not to be equal on both sides. Better call CSC about that. Cheers, Dan K.

Here are some pics of the bike fresh out of the crate before I went to work. It was too late and wet to work on it tonight, but I'll get it sorted.

Thanks for posting the photos. The red bikes do look nice.

Welcome! Thanks for joining us. I think your funding idea is very clever.

Key fob
It's a small point but since I ordered 2 (a blue one and a white one because I have 2 bikes), shouldn't that count as 2 out of the 50 required? I'm listed as 1 out of the 50 needed.

It kinda does count as 2, and I suppose the official number could be closer to 15, But I'm really just shooting for 50 people's interest in the product. As there is almost 200 bikes sold in North America as of this post. So, getting 50 people shouldn't be too hard, one would think.
Obviously, I'm not counting the one I'm going to get and the one for my GF, and I did promise Biker Scout one since he's been helping with graphic design. But if we start to push high 40s, I'll probably go ahead and place the order anyway. |

Had a Chat With Gerry Edwards
I had a minor tech question on my RX3 and contacted CSC last week, leading to a call from their new Service Manager Gerry Edwards.
Right from the start of the conversation, Gerry was interested in my total RX3 experience, and also asked great questions to help him politely assess my level of mechanical aptitude. He talked through the specific tech issue I was having, offered some tips and expressed willingness to send additional parts if the issue persisted. He also took the time to point out some additional technical information on the RX3. I don't know if Gerry will always have the time to spend with customers as he did with me, but he is a great addition to the CSC team and adds to my confidence in my RX3 purchase. |

In June I rode my RX3 on a two-day trip to Grand Teton National Park. If you are interested, here is a link to my ride review, posted at China Riders.

Beautiful pics Spud. Were you on gravel most of the way coming and going? Was your tent packed inside the trunk? Looks like you had enough storage for the trip. rj

I do the same as you, and strap my tent on top of the pillion saddle, in front of my J.C. Whitney Travel Trunk. Indeed, I had lots of storage available. The RX3 is a lot of fun to ride; I just wish it had a better shock absorber.
