[RBW] Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

2020-02-20 Thread Drw
Danner light ii doesn’t fulfill many of your requirements but they are the best boot I’ve ever worn. Most comfortable, longest lasting, insanely durable. I’ve worn them on wild hikes, but more often they are shoes I take traveling. I’ve had mine for 10 years and they will easily go another 10.

Placement should correlate with the rack you are likely to use, too. If you already have one, figure out optimal position for leveling and adjusting without the struts being difficult to connect. David Lipsky Berkeley, CA On Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 10:17:09 AM UTC-8, Gabriel Hargrove wro

The bike does look great! First “XT” dyno hub I’ve seen, too. What are those V-brakes? The parts listing simply says “Shimano” though there is no badging and the shoes seem to bolt into a trough. Similar to TRP CX brakes but the noodle stop is different. Perhaps the Mystery Rivendell v-brakes?

I'd say that the cheviot sweater is a much slimmer fit, but has a TON of stretch. so it fits me and is not constricting at all, but is more form fitting than i like. if it had to go under a jacket or something, it would probably be perfect. I live in CA though, so if i wear a sweater, its usual
