If anyone is interested, these rims came on a bike I purchased in
Holland a couple of months ago, and have about 100 miles of use.
There is very minor brake surface wear, but the rims are otherwise
perfect.
Rims are silver with machined braking surfaces, 32 hole drilling, 26”
diameter, 25 mm width

I'm also one of the apparent minority who tried a Berthoud, and found
it uncomfortable, even on reasonably short rides--25 miles. The
material and build quality is amazing and I was disappointed that the
comfort didn't match all the other exceptional qualities of this
saddle.
I have B-17's in var
So the overall conclusion would appear to be that plenty of people DO
like leather tape.
For me, even though I live in the high desert, leather tape is more
affected by environmental factors than a really high quality synthetic
like Fizik. I have Fizik on all of my bikes. It's the best bar tape
The U.S. military Arctic mittens aren't bad, and they're quite
inexpensive. Inner wool mitten, combined with an outer leather mitten
that has wool on the top, and a long nylon gaiter. There are two
basic versions: full mittens and then a set that has a index finger
separate.
They usually cost ab

One detail that no one else has mentioned
The first tandem my wife and I purchased was a custom steel Dennis
Bushnell. It had the lively handling that I preferred in my singles
bikes, but one needed to wrestle it around, and the slightest movement
from my wife would affect the steering.

I did a review of two person tents for a magazine last year, and tried
out a bunch.
I concur with the person who recommended double wall, free standing.
Relative to that subcategory, MSR and Sierra Designs appeared to have
better design, material and build quality than Big Agnes. There are

For everyone who uses traditional frames and subscribes to the "fist
of seatpost extension" aesthetic, Peter White sells 210 mm Nitto
Jaguar seatposts for around US$ 90. Almost everyone else sells the
250 mm version at close to double Peter's price.
I agree with Jim that the Jaguar is arguably th

I used PW hubs and bottom brackets for years on a tandem, and on one
of my racing bikes.
Since everyone has covered the advantages, I'll mention one possible
negative:
PW hubs aren't all that sophisticated in terms of the bearing seals,
so if you use the hubs in extreme conditions, they may not y
