Hi Chris-
See if the gang at Vecchios on Pearl St. in Boulder can straighten
your fork tip. It's worth a telephone call (303-440-3535). Mark

This happened to me (also with an orange Rambo). The skewer on the rack had a
rough spot in it that made it feel like the quick release was closing tightly.
In fact it was not tight. While driving through a pot holed parking lot the
bike must have pitched to one side. The drop out on one si
I did the same thing to my orange Rambo about a month after getting it. I got
mixed messages on whether or not if could be straighened safely. There was
also paint damage where the drop out and fork came together. Your best bet is
to take it to a builder or shop you trust and go with their
Sorry, did not mean to confuse the issues.
I trust you do agree with my main point that it is too bad people see
the need to misuse naming protocal to draw attention to a product that
has its own very worthy history. Ebay allowing this is disservice to
both Rivendell and Bruce Gordon bicycles.
Chris,
Are you planning on riding back down the South Grade, or along the East
Grade road to Lake Henshaw and then back on the 76?
Cheers,
Dustin

I've also learned the hard way to put a bright orange traffic cone in
the garage where my car is normally parked.
This way, when i get home and the garage door opens I see the cone and
remember to NOT drive into the garage again.

I'm thinking of getting a roof rack, and my solution to this will be to
remove the remote from my car.

Keep the remote mounted right underneath the rack's QR skewer.

There's also Pomo Canyon and Sonoma Coast state campgrounds. They are
primitive, no reservation, walk (or ride) in. Close to Jenner on the
south side of the Russian River. They get busy this time of year, but
if you show up before Friday afternoon I think you'll be alright.
Close to there there

Thank you all for these great suggestions. I am in the city and have
done the ride to China camp. I loved it! Another option that I am
considering is Butano State Park. The main issue is most camp grounds
are already booked! Should be able to find something though with so
many choices...

What's the model? I have a dented Atlantis frame with a perfectly good
fork, with which I'd happily part. If somehow you're talking about a
1-1/8 threadless fork, I've got an extra of those (from a Soma Double-
Cross) as well.

I have seen it happen to mountain bikes attached via the fork dropouts
on Utah's White Rim Trail. The bouncing around of the truck causes
the skewer to loosen and the bike falls over.

Flip side of the story: I got a great deal on my atlantis F/F/HS
because a previous owner hadn't secured it on his roof rack and it
fell down and put some superficial dents in the head tube.

Butano is a nice spot, but no showers.
Not an easy ride from the City, though. I reckon it would take the
better part of a day to get there.

I second the suggestion of Half Moon Bay. The hiker/biker site is just
off the beach and separated from the "drive-in" part of the campground.
Restrooms and showers are nearby and well maintained. Lots of good
places to eat and grocery stores within a few miles of the state park.

Funny. I learned the hard way that if you box your Ramb to ship home
via FedEx after Ride the Rockies, it's a good idea to tighten the
Nitto stem's handlebar clamp bolt and the seat-post bolt. Both
