I read the thread "did you use a torque wrench to assemble your bike" with interest and have purchased a 1/4 inch torque wrench set to assemble my RR6+ST soon.  For the pedals, the instructions (video) say to tighten to exactly 35 nm using a 15mm wrench.  I don't expect to change pedals often and there's a bike cooperative near me (1.5 miles) that allows people to come in and use tools there.  Is it an OK idea to tighten the pedals at assembly time without a torque wrench ("snugly") and head (ride) to the co-op to borrow a pedal torque wrench to get the "exact" torque before riding extensively??  The warning on the video suggests some combo of plague, death, dismemberment and/or general unhappiness may occur if 35 nm of torque is not precisely achieved ;-). Thanks in advance for your advice.

Great question!  I had one in my cart (with my new RR6+ST) a couple of days ago.  Guess I waited too long to check out and when I went to the next step, alas, it was out of stock.  So I opted for the front rack which I don't love but will live with for a small carrying capability.  Hopefully someone knows of a rear rack that works well from another vendor.

Thanks for the replies. I did get a Kryptonite Evolution chain lock  and will see how it goes from here. Thanks again.

I was interested in this answer as I am also a noob ;-) (awaiting delivery on my RR6+ ST in fact).  With the step-thru, where does one put whatever brand locking device?  Kryptonite pic on Amazon shows "step over" bike with cross bar placing the lock around rear tire and frame above pedals, but is that effective with step-thru?  Cheers.

RadRover / RR6+ ST mirror
October 17, 2022, 11:42:11 AM
Hi - just ordered an RR6+ ST.  Since Rad doesn't sell a mirror for the model and it's really hard to see what  the end of the handlebars look like from their web site, I'm not sure what left side mirror to obtain.  Don't want to punch any holes in the new grips but am happy to pull a plug if there is one ;-).  Looking for suggestions on whether "2022 NEW Hafny Multi-Adjustable Bar End Bike Mirror HF-M952S-FR08" from Amazon would be suitable (and easy to install)...  Thanks in advance!
