Hi All,
Below is a list of parts that are ready for a new home. For shipping
most of these parts, I'd estimate that the average cost will be about
$10. If you buy more than one item, I'll combine shipping. If you're
interested in a trade, I've listed a few items that I'm looking for at

Brynnar,
Follow Jim Thill's advice. I got lucky. Pre-ordered the bike (from
Jim) in 56 in hopes it would be the right fit for me. Have ridden a
62 Surly Cross Check, and that was too big. And my 56cm Atlantis is
probably too small. (But the way I have it set up, rides just fine.)
So figured
Thanks for sharing this. Truly one of a kind, and I bet you'll have a blast
on it.

I recently got a new High Efficiency washer to replace our 15+ year-
old Kenmore when it died.
Because of their low water use and the way they agitate, you're
supposed to use HE-type soap to keep things from foaming up too much

If you can find it, I've used Bio-Pac with great success.
That said, here's the secret about HE detergents and front loading washers:
you need less soap. A lot less. Seriously. For our Bosch, we kept having

Hey Bill,
I have been front loading since about '97. I have used liquid Ivory Snow
many times with no ill effect. I think I generally use about 1/2 the
recommended amount, but you would just adjust for sudsiness and throw in an
extra rinse if it was a particularly bubbly load...

On Mon,
Just got back a little while ago from my second S24O this year. Even
though the destination was the same, the trip was entirely different.
First off, took the Atlantis instead of the Hillborne. So they each
have one trip in this year. Second, instead of being down by the
river, camped in the u
Riv's own Kookabura Wool Wash works fine in my HE washer/dryer
combined. In fact, it works so well with the woolens, I use it as the
pre-wash on my regular washes. Nice organic smell and really does the
job.

I'm doing a sub-24 this Friday. All are invited. I plan to be slow, but fast

You received this message because
I've never used a HE soap in my front loading machine in 12 years.
I've always just used half the amount of soap. Most laundry soaps
have instructions for front loading use these days. I use anything
from Tide unscented to Bio-Kleen. . . they all work fine.

I can second Ryan's recommendation. I have used the Ecover Delicate in
a HE washer with absolutely no problems. They even say right on the
bottle that it's suitable for HE:

I've washed wool dress trousers in Kookabura and they've come through

The "new" front rack looks nice but has some design problems, IMHO.
It sits very high on the bike, mainly because it is designed to mount
through the canti studs.. The picture on the web site even shows a
fork with rack braze-ons below the brakes. If it comes with a second
set of attachments, it
It also seems to put panniers way out there. It looks like there is
some room for adjustment. And I agree, mounting on fork braze-ons
would probably be better.
I do like the Mark's rack add-on platform.

Our Bosch front loader came with a sample bottle of Woolite HE, seems

That is off-the-charts hilarious in my book - one of the funniest tag
