Re: [RBW] Re: COVID face mask that lets you breathe and doesn't cause glasses to fog?

I do the bandanna - Rivendell sells densely woven ones. I have some looser-woven Chinese ones from Etsy I try not to wear in grocery stores, but I feel okay wearing them to ride. Bandannas work great; easy up, easy down, but they do fog my glasses now that the weather is colder. Maybe I should

Long shot, but if anyone has a used but still good Naches Pass, I'd like to talk. The tubeless conversion seems to work, and I'd like another tire for the SA AM hub wheel; not quite ready to invest in a wholly new one. Another even longer shot, but if a seller is interested, I could offer an Elk P

I can’t get it to move far enough, although this wasn’t obvious to me for a while. When I disconnect the cable, and pull it towards me by hand, the outer edge goes over the chain ring, but no farther. But until I went to the shop, it wasn’t clear to me whether I couldn’t somehow correct this by

Jim S asked: "My question: what determines the appropriate spindle length for a given build. Is it the crankset? Is it the frame? Is it something else? " It's the chainline. Google "Sheldon Brown Chainline" and read that thoroughly. From what your read you should have a pretty good guess at
