I've got one more Saddlebag Grip for sale that's been gathering dust. It's
in great condition and comes with a homemade leather grip wrapped with
twine. I rigged this up when I was using the grip with a large saddlesack.
I had to cinch down the grip to the bag really tight to avoid any sway

Well your question that Ted replied 'no' to was: Will a well considered
1X10 give you the nice, close flatland cruising gears, with bailouts just a
flick or 2 away?
Which I agree with his answer, if thats what he was answering. By giving up
the front options, you can't just 'flick' the front derai
Ted "no context" Kelly"'s reply is doubtless made to my question. But I
disagree, at least theoretically, and I'd like to hear from others who have
actually made the change, and have used both systems, and have concrete
experience to relate.
This is what I've thought of:

11.0 83.5

Thank you for one more reason not to buy this bike.
If I hadn't commissioned the Matthews, I'd buy it, skinny tires and all.

Spring cleaning. Enough parts to build a bike, almost. All prices without
shipping. Will charge for actual shipping to lower 48. Shipping may take me
a few weeks, let me know if urgent. Local pickup in Oakland and takes
priority. PM me if interested.

For the Hon Solo. I started with clips/straps, thought I'd like a SPD
option, then realized that, for this casual use bike, clips 'n' straps are
better.
The 324s are in vg condition.
I love GR-9s, but am open to alternatives that do well with flexy boat-type
slip ons.
I need size L toe clips.
I bought one that sticks inside sunglasses without remembering that I use
reading glasses for up-close things now. It did not work ;)

So it seems like 36 spoke wheels are not super common in 26". I know the
smaller size makes them stronger in general, but for loaded touring on bumpy
roads, are 32 spokes sufficient?

Recently took off my eyeglass mirror and started searching threads and
reading about mirrors.
I have been using a teeny one that sticks onto the inside of my glasses but
was looking for something that might require less head turn to see the road
behind me, but that also is minimal aesthetic.
