I use 45cm Nitto Rando bars with the drops lower than the rim of the
basket. It barely fits, but its fine. If you're in the hooks you wont
notice, but in the flats my thumb can hit the basket if I hit a pot
hole or something.

Haha. Thanks for the input.
Maybe a 46cm Noodle would be alright for me. I should probably be
using a 44cm anyway, and Grant suggests going wide with the
Noodles...though I may need a shorter stem!
Does anyone have experience using 44cm Noodles with the medium Wald
basket?

If anybody's interested, I have a used Rohloff for sale. I used it

Hi Scott,
I repaired my wife's Brooks springs with sleeves made from aluminum
tubes. The first one I tried JB Weld and Gorilla Glue on, the second,
I just banged the broken ends into the tube and let it go. The glued
side cracked loose, and is now holding with friction.
So far it's worked fine.

Hey Gang,
My bike has felt extra bouncy lately. Filled up the tires today
and they were low. Still bouncy. Looked at my brooks saddle rails and
one of them is broken. Looks like it has been that way for a little
while, too. So, good news is that the other rail is strong, bad news
is its broken.

I use the medium Wald basket, medium ShopSack and 46cm Noodles and it
works well. I can understand your hesitancy to switch to 46s, that
would be a big jump from a 42 but you might like it. I would think the
46s would be easy to unload via the list if they didn't work for you.
They sure are comfort

I'm currently using a Wald Medium basket and Sackville ShopSack with

crowded and I'm finding the basket to be an annoying restriction to my
