Specs originated from CandlePowerForums and several people have used

My friend is an EE and he constructed it; otherwise I have no clue.
The circuit board was designed for the DIYer using readily
Am late to this thread - that's a great looking bike. Even has the
original pedals. Kept switching back to them in my old mountain bike
days. I wanted one of those Rockhoppers oh so bad when they came
out. Ended up buying a year or two older Stumpjumper frame instead
and building it up. Always
Let me know if anybody has one available? Thanks!

Another big part to the Marks Rack versatility is that is can be mated
to a platrack. Four Nitto front racks (two Marks, two Mini Fronts) in
my stable. One Platrack means any of those four bikes can be set up

I agree that the Mark's Rack versatility is a big plus (it can even be
installed on the rear of the bike). The VO front rack certainly would
work well with a bike that has the appropriate bosses on the forks.
The amount of adjustabilty of the VO rack is, however, somewhat
limited.
There's also an

Hello!
I was installing a rack on my A. Homer Hilsen, and tightening down the
right-side strut on the frame, when I felt it all sort of give. The
bolt seems to be stable, but I am concerned that I may have stripped
the threads on the frame.
What should I do about this?
Thanks for your help and ad
1. Nut on backside.
2. Get it tapped to the next larger size.
3. Red Loctite.
4. Don't worry about it until you remove the rack -- and don't remove the rack.
Patrick "if torque is good, a little more ought to be better" Moore,
who has stripped many threads in many places.

Use a slightly longer bolt with a nut and lock washer.put the nut
on the outside so it won't rub on the chain etc. if its at the dropout
area. That is one cheap way to do it. I'd try to back the bolt out and
inspect the threads then maybe run a tap though it to clean out any
paint plus freshen
Yes, it is probably worth taking the bolt out because, eventually,
you'll have to deal with it.
You may have simply peeled the threads off of the bolt. Either way,
it's not a huge problem to fix so don't worry too much!!

That happened to me a while back, but the bolt broke off inside the
eyelet when I tried to back it out. Had to drill carefuly, but I got
the remains out, and the threads were fine. When my new Bombadil
arrived recently, I asked my LBS " How much to chase the threads on a
new frame?" The guy said "$
I'd repeat what others suggested, if you really stripped it, either
get it re-chased, or just use a bolt and nut. i've done this before
on frames that didn't have threaded eyelets (yes it's really old or
bad threads before it got to me), in one case i had to put the bolt in
with the head on the in
I know you were talking about re-painting this but i think it looks
great, only change i would make is brown accents instead of black but
that's minor!

Thanks Minh. If you mean brown handlebar tape, have another look.
It's two coats of clear shellac on Newbaum's PURPLE. The decal
accents are purple. It turned out pretty dark, I know.

Bring him a six pack on your next visit. I do that when friendly
mechanics go out of their way to hurry a project or do something out
of the line of strict duty.

Pretty bike, and I note with satisfaction that you've got the ends of
the hooks parallel to terra firma as God commanded us. (I recently
said unto myself, "tilt them down just *wee* bit," and so I did and
immediately felt the pain in the heel of my left palm; back to
horizontality and righteousness
The wheels have been sold.

Hi all:
I am thinking of purchasing a new Rivendell for the wider tires tires
(currently ride a "Creamsicle" Rambouillet (size 54 cm)). When I try
to pull up my sticks that hold the tape measure, my fine assistant
gets values of around 75 to 76 cm. However, I can stand over my
Rambouillet as out
A 4 to 5 cm discrepancy is a very large one. I would reconfirm the
measurement process with your fine assistant and double-check the
measuring tape and conversion calculation (if any). Other than that,
wear thin and loose pants and yank that stick up severe enough that it
resembles you sitting on
3 IRD freewheels toasted in the past 6 months, and 20 miles home on a jammed
freewheel-turned-fixed today. I need something stronger and better.
Looking for something with at least 32t in back, more is nice but not
necessary.
Make my day, and help me kick a rather annoying series of mechanicals!

You must not be pulling up hard enough andwell off to the
side, if you know what I mean.

You parallelaterra zealots see flat drops wherever you look. Mine are
not. My handlebars are adjusted to fit the rider, not the fantasy of
a horizon. I'd estimate -3 degrees.
