Rode my new-to-me a total of 300 meters, then started modifying it, so with no (450) experience, here are my (and others, please), Newbie questions:

1. My bike has rim-locks fitted, we're these standard, or after-market?

2. I need to fit a tachometer - do I fit 'just' an after-market tachometer, or something like Vapor, that can give me RPM reading AND other data?

3. I have a (tar & gravel) riding history with Heidenaus (Scouts), etc. since I MAY commute 30kmx2 a couple of times a week, anyone got experience with them on a 450? Then again, if I do hitch-carrier the bike closer to a gravel 2/3/4 day jump-off point, (minimal tar/maximum gravel/track), then any recommendations?

Cheers
Chris
