After a terrifyingly long 5 days of waiting... I picked up my White RX3 this morning!

A quick ride to work later, and I am itching to get out of here and get back on the bike!

Congrats Rickosuave1987! Looks great!

If you didn't hear, CSC is having a Tech Day this coming Saturday (Nov 7) and will go through changing the chain on the RX-3. Hope to see you there!

Weldangrind · 11-06-2015, 01:11 AM

Congrats! I hope it gives you many happy miles.

The white looks great! Are these coming with the larger (17?) rear wheel standard now, or do you have to pay for an upgrade????

All of them that CSC has sold have come with the 17" rear wheel...only their 3 test bikes had the 15" wheel

SpudRider · 11-06-2015, 03:09 PM

Yes, thank goodness CSC responded to our preference for the 17-inch rear wheel, which we expressed from the beginning.

In case I confused you, I merely laced a narrower rim to the rear wheel of my bike. I did not need to covert from a 15-inch rear wheel.

I am about to clock 1000 miles on my bike, and have run into my first real problem...

Yesterday, while riding on the freeway, the glass from my left side mirror fell out!

I have noticed there is a lot of vibration in the mirrors while at high RPM on the freeway, but I didn't expect one to fall off!

I will give CSC a call for a replacement, but their new hours means I have to wait til tomorrow...

Daeouse · 01-18-2016, 04:29 PM

Bravo, good sir! I'm insanely jealous of you! That bike looks amazing in white!!!

Several people have reported problems with the mirrors. Personally, I haven't had any problems, yet.

If you have further problems, you might consider purchasing either the Ken Sean/Bikemaster mirrors, or the Doubletake mirrors.
