Didn’t think of this. Good call. I will probably put the dynamo light on the fork and then have my battery lights on the handlebar for when I am planning on being out at night.
on locking up: I don’t worry about it because it has allan key skewers.
Sheldon lock the rear wheel, on bikes of all wheel sizes.
the spokes are real close together and also the wheel is basically a toddler but a wheel.

security skewers and locking to the tt has been good for me. my bike also came with a built-in rear wheel lock that i use pretty often. not sure if your katus have the mounts for one??
Looks like they do. Gonna buy one myself, probably a mini u lock as well.
I’d put a metal fender on there and add a front strut then mount the light to the fender at the strut mount.

They are not in my case. Called the shop today to ask about mine. It’s there, and I can either pick it up as-is, or pay $70 to have it assembled.
Gonna pick it up in the box in case it doesn’t fit me.
what are the floor dimensions of the baskets on those Orbeas? Are they basically the same as a 139?
that seems fishy based on the convos i had. i’d recommend calling Orbea’s line in Arkansas. I spoke to somewhere there initially and he assured me thats how online orders work, and then when i got to the shop dude walked me through the process.
i think its a bit bigger.
i’ll measure for you tonight but i know that this giant old Timbuk2 mess bag fits in it like a glove.
here’s a listing to buy without any measurements!
in the future i may enlist you to help with a platform conversion
center-to-center on the tubing of the basket’s upper ring = 450 X 305

mine was assembled by the shop it arrived at. It’s a liability issue for Orbea. I tipped in burrito bucks and was on my way.
Called their CS number and left a voicemail, also just sent an email to the shop at the address included with my shipping notice.
HY reply received already, just a little confusion on outlet orders

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Let us know if you have any questions.
