As noted in earlier message, I'm looking for a "fewer" speed setup for
my new commute. The largest SimpleOne, at 62cm, is too small for me.
If anyone has a lead to a 64cm or 66cm Quickbeam in good shape, I
would be glad to follow up. Either a frame+fork, or a complete bike.

On my simple one I did cut the rack and use a spare allen thing. That
also seems just fine.
I did't have any trouble with running out of threads. I do have a few
washers as spacers on
the front side (on both bikes) which gives a bit more clearance for

Thanks for all the input! It sounds like the problem is that the
brake is centered? I'll try to adjust it this weekend. Thanks!

Just noticed Grant's blog post from his trip to NYC.
I think it's really great that he looked at what must have been a literal
sea of bikes and saw the small and strange things about them that nobody
else would have noticed.
Cool, that's all.

That's excellent. I think it's a great mod - I'm glad someone could

A few more points...
I usually close the brake very slowly and look closely to verify that the
left and right pads make contact with the rim at the same time. An out of
true rim, of course, defeats that, meaning that the brake (and attached
rack) will move back and forth while stopping, pushed by
Yea...this is real fishy. I hope someone is not being taken or missing a
bike.
Gigantic red flags as mentioned along with:
-People who have Rivendells know more about their bikes and would not put up
such a lacking description.
-Cables were just clipped.
-No mention of rear rack, derailleurs, br
It probably means your front brake is not exactly centered, AND that the
bolt could use a little tightening. I'd recommend the following:
1. Loosen the allen bolt mounting the brake to the fork a bit, so the brake
is loose enough to shift easily side to side
2. Pull the brakelever and strap i
Punchline at the front. Leave it the way it is now.
Justification for the punchline:
It's true that SOME recessed allen nuts on brakes have a wide flange on the
head. In particular, in my experience, the ones that are used on a carbon
fork often have a wide flange head. Ones like that I am
I installed Nitto Mark's Front Rack on my wife's Betty about a month
ago. I've noticed that whenever the front brake is pulled, the rack
moves slightly (with left-right movement). Is this normal? Or does
it mean I have to tighten the nut behind the fork crown a bit more?
Thanks!

Thanks Grant,
Your right of course, the rack mounts very easily.
When I thought the allen thing off a spare dual pivot I had lying
around didn't fit, I did go straight to the washer and nut route.
I used a sturdy wide dia steel washer (I think it came off an old side
pull brake) and the nylock nut
