I use v-brakes on my Sam, and was never very happy with the Tektro v-brake
for road bar levers I had been using the Noodles. Albas let me use proper
v-brake levers, $20 Avids in my case, which make a huge difference. Could
be a consideration depending on what brake style you like.

How do you like them for these long rides?
I have some on my Sam now but haven't gone on any long rides yet. Was
wondering.

Not a problem, just something which requires a bit of attention.

It seems like they're setting themselves up to only carry items that are
in-house designs. Smart move and a great way to differentiate themselves
similar to other boutique bike outfits.

Ben,
Your comment about spindle length is interesting. My LBS went with the 113
specified by Sugino and I have no problem shifting to the smaller ring. It
does sometimes take me 2 tries to get into the big one though. My
understanding is that going up is just a harder shift, but now I wonder if
I read: "in stock but discontinued, while supplies last "
I guess the new one is that much better.

I've seen Hetres on a fendered A Homer Hilson and it "fit", but boy did it
not have much wiggle room. My comfort zone suggests having a pencil width
of space between the tire and the fender, while the Hetre I saw would be

Thanks for setting this up. I look forward to meeting you & others from up

Being a weekend, we should reserve a campsite(s). Now is a good time for
possible participants to chime in. El Chorro's info is a bit vague, saying
"6-8 people per campsite"
A good friend of mine just had his Trek touring bike stolen from his
garage. Insurance is paying out, but as he's a hospital chaplin, he's not

He's looking for a 54 or 56cm Rivvy bike. Local to Oakland CA is better,
of course. Touring oriented trumps the Hunqa.

One last detail. I did that conversion on my Hunqapillar but the wide chain
stays for the extra clearance for wider tires forced me to go to a wider BB as
the 40 new "middle" ring was almost touching the outside of the chain stay.
Ended up going to a wider 113mm BB and a 24/38/bash guard, but
