Thanks for sharing--while the Roubaix is one sweet ride, that comment
made my day. I think all cyclists would benefit from touring the 3rd
world and seeing all the "old-school" designs that are still in use,
for example...

Perhaps the answer depends on whether you tend to pedal with "flat"
feet (that is, heel drops as much as your toe at the bottom of a
stroke), or "pointed" toes (toe pointed lower than the heel

Some websites indicate the Dynamic's total quill length is 145mm. On
other websites, there are two dimensions: 78mm which appears to be the
distance from the top of the quill to the insertion line, and 45mm
which appears to be the distance from the insertion line to the bottom
of the quill. Sinc
I have two of them in bikes in at home, and will be happy to pull one up and
measure it later. I like the look of the Dynamic better than that of the
Technomic, but both are excellent stems.

Greetings,
I'm building up a Bombadil and have yet to decide on a new crank,
but I really only have 3 to choose from as I use 185mm arms. The 3 are
a TA Carmina, Surly Mr. Whirly, and the High Sierra/Zinn Custom ones.
For the heck of it today I put in a spare 122mm UN-72 BB and put on

don't over anal-yze it - the prmise of the article -
just ride and see how you feel after a week or two of riding.
you may just find a better position !

I guess it doesn't need to be an XD crank, as what I'd like to know is
what people are using for a chainline on their Bombadil, Atlantis or
even Sam frames.
I asked about the XD because it's popular, and being a wider crank it
may need to use the wider chainline.. I'm trying to get an idea of
wha
Those are the people who would be mystified by the "third pedal" on the
floor of the car!
I remember those pump hoses - lost one using the wrong end of the pump to
swat a dog. Oh, and those frames needed 2 pump pegs.

I'm considering heading to NZ for several weeks, and I'm wondering if it's
possible to inn-to-inn or hostel tour. Ideally, I'd like to get away with
simply a handlebar bag, and a saddlebag. If you've done this, let me know
how easy/hard it is, and what you'd have done differently.
Thanks,
Gino

Yeah TJ,
but on my foot, moving the cleat from mid-ball to mid-arch, would be 3
inches. Now this is an academic exercise for me so far anyway as I
cannot move my cleats that far and there ain't no way I am buying
those butt-ugly shoes for that kind of money. But a 3 inch change in
position is hug
Of course I ride with no cleats and my feet are often mid foot or on
the ball depending and I don't feel the need to move my saddle around.
I might unconsciously move myself back and forth on the saddle but I
don't lock myself into one exact spot anyway. Not being locked in, I
kind of ride loose

Dude, you gotta go to where they filmed Lord of the Rings, the Shire
set, and get pictures riding around on your Rivendell!

Thanks folks. I just booked a 22 day chunk of time for late
November/December via Qantas Air. Round trip from SFO is $549. I'm not
sure what the deal is with flights right now, but I saw roundtrip to Paris,
Germany, Ireland, etc. from California for around $450, which seems mighty
cheap, relative
