[RBW] Re: rear racks for long chainstays

[Eddie Flayer]

I don't know about the subtleties of long chainstay racks. I do know the 
Racktime Fold It is good fitted to the rear of my New Albion Privateer and 
is steady with two full Ortlieb grocery panniers. Well made, highly 
adjustable, priced right:

[RBW] Re: Do you ever find yourself tempted by brifters?

[Eddie Flayer]

tongue in cheek, but to some degree I think the term Luddite is apropos in 
this conversation. Of course bar ends and downtubes are just fine, but the 
dual control lever is a work of engineering art all to itself. Maybe we 
should call them paddle shifters. Me thinks a great invention. To each 
their own.

[RBW] Re: Getting comfortable on the Noodle

[Eddie Flayer]

You are describing two radically different sets of bars. This isn't about 
your PBH as much as it is about trusting what works for you and what 
doesn't. I'd say if something on the bike feels like it is too far away, 
then the obvious answer it to move it closer = shorter stem.

[RBW] Re: aghast by Rivendells aeropressing technique.

[Eddie Flayer]

I stood on my head this morning while using the inverted method and I got 
confused about which end was up. I then went back to Costco French roast, 
same old grinder, non-scientific steep and stir, and gotta another great 
cupa outa the Aero. If you try too hard you can screw it up.

Wow. A beautiful website and rich guys starting a bike company that sells 
really common bikes. What's the attraction? Granted, I'm not a hipster more 
concerned about color that ounces. It's the grams that concern me.
