Lacing the saddle worked great to give it the right narrow shape. In the end I sold this saddle because it was not firm enough. Still, it's a nice saddle. On Mar 7, 7:10 pm, ekoral wrote: > hi steve, > i noticed in your flickr stream a selle an-atomica that was laced for > chafing. did this wor

Clif, I'd seen your photos on the "Tall Riders" Flickr group. That's a nice looking Quickbeam! I don't really anticipate any possibility of going to the Caprock Canyons trailway anytime sooner than late spring, and maybe not until fall. At this point, my impression of the trail is that it's pre

Are you in Texas? You might already know about it but the Mineral Wells State Trailway, while not as long, is a great trail. Super well kept, it rolls though the Cross Timbers between Mineral Wells and Weatherford. On Mar 8, 10:20 am, Jim Cloud wrote: > Clif, > > I'd seen your photos on the "Tall

Update. I have three times in the log book now. The first one was on 700C wheels and I felt lousy, so I expect that I'll ignore that 2:09:45 time. The second ride confirmed that the first will probably get tagged an outlier. I did the same ~26 mile hilly stretch through the east bay hills in 1:

[RBW] silver shifters on paul thumbies

2011-03-08 Thread erik jensen
This might be old news, but Paul is making adapters for putting silver shifters on their thumbies. http://paulcomp.com/mtthumbie.html (scroll down) It's $21, but I probably would've done it this way instead of shimano had they been out last fall when I built my hunqapillar. Good stuff, figured it

Riv has 'em, too. Looks like that adapter would allow thumbies to work with basically any downtube friction shifter now. That's pretty cool. http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/paul-thumbie-silver-shifter-adapter-pair/17-145 On Mar 8, 11:20 am, erik jensen wrote: > This might be old news, b
