I got in a nice shopping ride on the LongLow this morning, after riding
only the QuickBeam for a few weeks. Apart from the freaky feeling when I
stopped pedaling and coasted along, the main difference I noticed was more
relaxed handling, maybe "less quick" steering is the way to describe it.
Anyway
Interesting info & reviews, but still quite subjective. Regarding the
dynohub vibrations, it's important to keep in mind that he's not just
comparing different hubs in isolation. The hub interacts with the
rest of the wheel and the fork (and possibly even the rest of the
frame). Anecdotes like t
Thanks again -what a helpful group. I should have mentioned in my
original post that I intend to go with Albatross bars. This sounds
like another vote for the 58 as long as I'm not using drop bars; I
don't think there have been any standover-related contraindications so
far. Love those pics of yo
Same here. Have a SONs twice. Current bike never vibrates that I
notice. Earlier bike was the smoothest rider I ever owned (sadly
destroyed while parked on a sidewalk by an out of control truck).

I'm almost certain the author of that site didn't have his SON28
skewer tightened properly. In this case you'll feel excessive
vibration. If he built the wheel he was testing this should have been
obvious, since the SON28 (like all dynohubs) must be clamped tightly

Went for a third longer ride this afternoon, home to downtown Palo Alto to
meet my wife and daughters who were doing some shopping, and then when I
left them, took the Betty on a ride around Stanford. I have to say that the
current configuration is probably the most comfortable of all my bikes,

Thanks. The color is NOT the original,which was a much lighter

Now the color I picked is Imron #44420 (Med. Olive metallic). I had to

NICE!Couple questions: What color is that-it looks like the
original Redwood color but I am not sure. Also, what size tires are
those?Bike looks great with them.
