    Re: Shineray / XinYuan X5 review

    +1

    I get someone to help me measure/adjust my chain with me on the bike (loaded). Then after it is adjusted, I hop off and check how much slack the unloaded bike has. I use that unloaded slack...

    Re: Shineray / XinYuan X5 review

    Was at the dealer "Qili" today, and it has a Shineray 400 dual sport, badged as a GX400. Is that a new model, or maybe an X5 rebadged for export that somehow made its way into Beijing? Looked like...
