[RBW] March Riv Ride

After the Feb Riv Ride there was some mention of a March ride in the San Diego area corresponding to a visit from Jim Thill. I've lost track of that thread and was wondering if that ride is still going to occur and when and where it will be? Thanks Bruce --~--~-~--~~~---

Pls forgive me if this is slightly off topic. I have been thinking about visiting San Diego and may head out to join this ride. Any recommendations on where to stay for a few days, and/or what part of town is best to stay in. I'll be riding and maybe rock climbing.Thanks, Tim Whalen Santa fe On

[RBW] Looking for tips for Mounting Fenders

Hi folks. I've recently had some SKS fenders mounted on my Atlantis. Unfortunately, I'm not really happy with the results. Both the front and rear fenders extend pretty far from the tire. This is especially annoying with the front tire, as I already didn't have a lot of toe clearance (I'm on a 63

[RBW] Re: Looking for tips for Mounting Fenders

What size tires are you running? One thing you can use is aluminum spacers, which require longer bolts, like I did here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gzahnd/1678333665/in/set-72157602102746272/ And here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gzahnd/1679280400/in/set-72157602102746272/ The other option i

Thank you both for the information. I'll post some pictures of the fenders & Atlantis later today. That will explain the situation more clearly than I can. I'm still learning a lot about my Bike. In the meantime, here is a pre-fender photo of my ride: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jibbah/26020781

[RBW] Re: Looking for tips for Mounting Fenders

Hey Jordan, The Atlantis is designed with generous clearances, and I've never had a problem achieving great fenders lines with my tires ranging from 1.5" to 2". I have the 26" wheel version, but this'll apply to your 700c. With a little patience and ingenuity you should get a great fender line

A while back a buddy & I got a nice room at the Holiday Inn Downtown (the round one just off I-5, near Little Italy) for something like $70 by doing a bid on Priceline. When you bid, you're submitting to several hotels so you can get some interesting responses. Another option is the old YMCA, nea

Jay, Great info, but in my ignorance it is a little hard for me to follow. I love the idea of using old corks, and I'd love to see what that looks like on your bike. Your post also gave me a great excuse to buy some fancy beer. So, will this kind of cork do? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jibbah/33

Well, a local might be the worst person to ask about hotels...depends on what you're looking for. The hostels are a good idea - lots of botique hotels around town (The Pearl in Pt. Loma) and the regular kind of places. Lots of variety in where to stay - Downtown, North County, the desert, mounta

Here's a wine cork spacer, which serves the same function as my little aluminum ones: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluelemonphoto/2613409899/ Get a longer bolt, and run it through the length of the cork (drill it out first!). That bike was made for fatties, and if I had an Atlantis, I'd run 'em
