I kinda doubt we'll see a 1-1/8" steerer on the Hunqa given the historical RBW 1" quill affinity. But, this is a democracy, right? I'll throw in a vote for 1-1/8" threadless! On Feb 6, 10:37 pm, Gary wrote: > I just logged back in and saw my original post up three times. Must be > the San Diego w

Four years ago, I thought I should keep some inventory of Sunrace 8s freewheels... Well, I still have them, but I'm gonna feel damned smug when somebody needs one in an emergency one of these days. No problem, got em in stock. Which gear range do you want? On Feb 6, 9:00 pm, Angus wrote: > Seth,

Subject line says all ;) I have a one gallon can of Boeshield and I'm asking for methods of dispensing it. Does anyone have experience with reusable aerosol cans? I have an Atlantis frame I'd like to frame proof but don't know if I can spray this. Also, I know I can refill the 4oz Boeshield bottle

All good advice. I've ridden the 5 Borough and it was fun (especially riding over the Verrazano Bridge). But bike shop employees I know call it the "5 Borough Bike Crash" for good reason. I saw two bad collisions when I rode. And I'll second Steve's endorsement of the Tour de Bronx. It's my f
