+1 for Pass and Stow racks. Old Man Mountain is now offering a wider platform Pizza Rack, but haven't tried it. I would also recommend using the widest bars you're comfortable with for riding with big front loads, but YMMV. Confession: I do not like big front loads. John On Tuesday, April 11

Thanks Laing. I do have a set of VO rims on a bike that I recently acquired and like them so far. I've ridden on them throughout the summer quite a bit. I like that they come in a polished finish but the highest hole count is 36. I'm not sure how they will hold up just yet, but they seem nice.

Not to put a damper on things...but those in academia employed as professors can probably wheel their bikes into their offices(if they;ve got room or make room), a privilege students don't enjoy unless they're grad students who may be lucky enough to share office space. And one other thing to

I almost always build my own wheels, but you cannot go wrong with either Rich Lesnik (Rivendell / Hands On Wheels) or Peter White. I have had wheels from both, and they were flawless. Not local to you though, west coast and east coast respectively. I use Velocity or Velo Orange rims; Phil Wood,

These posts are so engaging. I have enjoyed reading all of them, and I see your points and they are good ones. I may send my son off with the 52 Clem as a test bike, but it really is too small. My WORD, the big Clem L fits him so nicely. Still, I hate to risk it right away before he really get

John: I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying them. By all accounts they are the industry standard for a touring type hub. Hard to beat on paper. I've just not experienced them personally. I've had cranks, bottom brackets and headsets and they've all been great. On Sunday, August 13, 2023 at 12

just adding my exp. i've had a wald basket on nitto racks for 10ish years. personally i think the 139 is too big for the narrow racks like nitto mini front, and even the big front is too narrow IMO.the best/most stable i used was with the platrack. i'm using a 137 on an simworks obento
