Bob... I've ridden that trail from Trenton to Riegelsville. Definite thumbs up. Riegelsville is just a few miles from Phillipsburg. Do you know a good route to take from Phillipsburg to the southern end of the Delaware Water Gap? Seems like about twenty miles on the map but I wouldn't kn

Cool beans Paul.I think I can be there in under two hours on the train from NYC. Might pick your brain a bit before I go. Probably not till spring though. I was camping out near the AT last weekend and man it was getting cold. Mike On Sunday, November 24, 2013 4:02:35 PM UTC-5, BIKI

Thanks Toshi and thanks Jan. I liked everything else about the Hetres and I'm going to give them another shot at some point. My bike is 58cm but there is a 54cm Polyvalent kickin around that my girlfriend rides. Maybe I will put em on that bike and see how it feels. I will report back if its

[RBW] Re: Hetre/Synergy safety issue?

I picked up some new Hetres for the Hilsen last winter and mounted them on my synergy rims. I used an extra layer of rim tape to compensate for the deep wells. I tweaked things as best as possible and took them for a spin. I thought the bike handling was kind of twitchy. I took the ti

[RBW] Re: Shellac removal?

Agree with the alcohol. And also agree with being careful around the paint. Its possible paint could take a gentle rubbing with alcohol if need be but prolonged scrubbing could wipe it away. It all depends on the type of paint I think. Test in a very small area if needed. I buy shellac in

[RBW] Re: Shellac Question

Ron I think only varnishes with oil dry via oxidation. I think shellac can be reconstituted with alcohol because it dries by evaporation. As Tim said you can add alcohol to thin it out especially if it starts thickening up on you but there is definitely a shelf life where it will no lo

Hey Peter As long as it has been properly sealed and out of the sunlight I think you are fine. I frequently use shellac that I mix myself that is past 4 or 5 months. I keep it in an amber bottle for longer storage times. After a year or so I toss it out, but for bar tape all you ha

I have pitlocks on front and rear wheels and seatpost. No problem with seatpost slipping. Yeah you lose a little paint but its under the pitlock and you don't notice it. You're gonna lose some paint in other places just from riding anyway. Just forget about it and learn to love patina. I

Hi y'all With the tektro brakes you need to leave a bit of space between the fender and the caliper arm for when the quick release is opened and the arm swings down. I was curious if this is similar on the paul racer centerpull or can you get the fender up a little higher? Even a few mil
