Civia has a double bolt seatpost that I've been using on my commuter:

Holds the saddle really well (no slippage at all) and the silver
finish is excellent-- plus it only ran me $25. I've been really
impressed.

Hey John,
As Doug says, there are allegedly two kickbacks - the S2C has a
(C)oaster brake, and the S2 has no brake.
Coasting is fun, I cannot lie, but I do prefer the feel of a fixed-
gear drivetrain.
The two speed auto-shifting hub is pretty slick, especially without
any cabling, but the coaster
Excellent! Thanks for the report, Bill. It really is nudging me
towards the S3X. If the slack in the system isn't too bad, the other
stumbling block for me is the cable-run. Did you ziptie the housing to
the top tube? I'd love to see the photos when the Round Tuit arrives.
If I get one, I'll keep y
Yah, the NYTimes article was enlightening. Thanks Joan, for that link.
What a mess! I stand corrected.

It was a matter of the brake stud location not giving enough clearance
for the arms when adjusted properly. I think there was a discussion
about this on the old iBOB list a few months ago, but I can't find it
at the moment.

Hey folks -
I'm looking for an affordable seatpost with less setback than the VO
post. I don't really feel like springing for the Nitto post. VO has a

recommendations. Any parts that y'all like that are less spendy?

Hey John,
There is more than one version of the S2 hub. The S2C (I think) is a
coaster brake, the S2 has no brake but shifts by back pedaling...

Thanks for posting this John, and making us, as stakeholders in Riv,
who are supporters of SmileTrain aware.
Often times protests and petitions are a silent plea, yet this looks
to be something we can all get behind and move mountains with.

Just to clarify, though, Allan, SmileTrain hasn't been like that.
It's thoroughly vetted and we have felt good about giving to them.
We are hopeful this will be averted, and we will continue to do so.

Hi Phillip,
I just completed my QB conversion to an S3X hub, with a barcon shifter
in my Nitto Noodles. I built it on a Velocity Dyad rim, just like the
front wheel, which has a Shimano 3N80 dyno hub.
First impressions are good! It's quiet, and does not give too much
friction in the lower two g
FWIW, the Cafam brakes work very well. I would be surprised if the
issue is specific to the brake, but I too am curious...
I would have snapped these up in a second if I had not just purchased
a new set for my next project.

Is that the clicking I hear coming from the back room? I thought it
was typing or a freewheel spinning, but it was the ABACUS. Is it true
that your exercise area has an abacus with 5-lb stones, so you can do
Primal-invoice-management?

PS: According to the dictionary, abacuses or abaci are both correct.

I'm curious why they didn't work out? I am looking at using those for

Are there certain factors I should consider before I buy a set?
