I never had great results even with the 287V, which is the long-pull
version of the 287. The new Tektro long-pull levers are much better,
and much cheaper.

I have an Acorn 1 strap roll and it's great. I imagine that the rando
bag has the same quality. I was bummed that they weren't doing any
bigger ones just yet. That size bag just doesn'ty work on a 63. Or
rather, it doesn't work as well. I actually received my Berthoud bag

I was setting up the front brake on my newly built-up Karate Monkey
frame. I have never used moustache bars, V-brakes, nor the DC 287
brake levers. Please take that into consideration. I set up the V-
brakes this evening, the pads are fairly close to the rims and
parallel, but the levers don't

I may be drifting off topic, but:
On my dinglespeed (Redline Monocog 29er, not a Quickbeam), grinding up
steep hills in the lower gear will sometimes cause the rear wheel to

I never knew a derailleur that would absorb pedalling forces. In my 12+
years of riding fixed and ss, I've never had a problem
Wait a sec ... the derailleur is on the *slack* part of the chain.
All the stress pulling the wheel forward is from the back side of the
cog forward, way past the derailleur. I still don't see how a fixed
gear wheel is subject to stronger forces than a standard bike
(although it is subje
I still think track bolts are better for SS regardless of what Riv

on with a Surly Jethro Tulle; never any slippage problems. The forces
are a little greater since there is no derailleur to absorb some of
the force applied duri

Wow, that's interesting behavior. It appears that the URL in the

are no different than on standard bikes, which do just fine with quick

Looks good! I got mine too and have it mounted the same way... just

thanks. I remembered the difference between Auf und Zu, opened
the lamp, and the bulb looks burned out. I'm really surprised that it
burned out relatively quickly (I doubt I have more than 20 hours
on the bulb), but I suppose that can happen. I'll figure out where
to buy replacement bulbs.
thanks
Yes, I should read more carefully.
