If this setup is too fancy/expensive, I was thinking about removing the rack/bag/dyno and selling it more in its original form for a much lower price. Let me know if that would be of interest to anyone out there in Riv-land... Thanks, Dan in DC -- You received this message because you are subs

Slightly off topic, but Eric: what did you do to get retention with on your Brompton? I switched to MKS folding pedals, which are a bit grippier but they're still pretty lousy and I'm sick of having my foot slip off and bashing myself in the heel (which happens way too frequently and definitely

If you aren't scared to DIY, I would get an awl or drill and a couple of zip ties and try to lace it up that-a-way. I had a B-17 which came to me used, and was transformed into by fav saddle of all time by tying and butchering it. You can always replace the zip ties with twine or leather or som

I have a similar situation with my Kogswell G, which also has the render and track end issue. I just loosen the struts when taking the wheel out, which isn't too annoying when you have hex-bolt actuated hubs like Pauls or Phils or Profiles. The SKS idea is a good 'un though! Sad that I missed

Weird, I have 32 Soma branded Panaracers on my Canti-Rom with Honjo fenders and they fit fine (not spacious, but definitely sufficient). If you're using the Velo-Orange struts, that could be more of an issue since the bolts protrude pretty far into the interior. I'm using Berthoud struts, which
