You may know already, and forgive me if you do, but for the longest, I
didn't know: Schwalbe tubes have the bonus feature of a removable
stem. I spent many months trying to find punctures in my Schwalbe
tubes until I finally recognized that the problem was a slow leak from
a loose valve stem (which
Wow...go figure...my X100 is arriving Friday. There's a carnival near my
apartment this weekend so my first shots will probably be there - lot's of
color, people, lights, etc.
I asked about climbing because this is more or less in the neighborhood...

Sounds like you have a new objective for 2012!!!
I do enjoy climbs but I'm still quite slow. If you think a ride is worth
doing, don't exclude it because there are climbs. If all works out well,
I'll be able to do an absolute maximum of 5 rides, with 3 or 4 being more
realistic. The more options I
I'll throw something next time I've got a couple of hours to ride those
routes with a camera. I just picked up a Canon S100 with GPS which should
be perfect for this as the images can be pinpointed on a map when you are
in doubt.

I have been using them for a couple of months now. Reviewed the movie that
shows how to install them (just do a search online and you'll find it) as
well as some additional clips that show how to fix punctures using a match
instead of patches. I'm currently using them on the Betty and the

Thanks Rob!
Pictures would be great if you are already planning to do them. A few
recommendations for longer rides would also be welcome, although I'm not
entirely sure myself how much time I'll have available, but I'll have
flexibility to at least go on a longer ride. I'm attending the meeting of
Let me know if you want longer routes - I don't know how much time you will
actually have for riding so I didn't do any long ones. You can find plenty
on mapmyride, but sometimes find the entrance to bike paths can be a little
odd (Pearl Harbor comes to mind).
In any case, the things to watch out

I guess I was very lucky that for some unforseen stroke of luck and mixups,
I ended up with enough Bullmoose bars for all my bikes (150mm) plus one
200mm spare. Just when I discovered this was the bar that I loved the most,
provided me with the best fit and comfort and... RBW discontinues it...

Thanks Robert, these are great!
It's too bad that while I'm visiting Honolulu you'll be visiting San
Francisco. I guess it's part of some cosmic balance!
I hope we'll get a chance to ride together in the future.

Hi all,
I'll be going to Honolulu on May 4-9 and would like to get some
afternoon/evening riding. I'll be taking my BF Llama. Can anyone share some
good places to ride, maps, routes or be around to come and ride with me?
I'll be staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Thanks!
