I've used skinny-ish 559 tubes many times.

This was briefly mentioned before, but I thought I'd put it up here
again. I just noticed that QBP again lists all Shimano headsets as
"discontinued". Rivendell doesn't list any on their web page. I was
unable to find any headsets of any kind on the Shimano web page. I've

I have one of those black ones. Probably will buy some roller bear
kits to keep them alive for a long time. Velo Orange actually has a
pretty good selection of threaded headsets from Tange and itself. It
has a wholesale business now and Box Dog Cycles, for example, sells
stuff from VO.

What's light snow where you are? As long as there is no danger of ice
underneath the snow, I prefer a relatively skinnier tire that will

thrilled with them.
Please forgive my ignorance, but is the A-9 a good headset? I've never
