Pierre,
With the "old" SON28, I can climb at between 10 and 12kph and still
have steady light beams on my bike. Both front and rear. The
headlight is a B&M Cyo with B&M tail light. With a Supernova light
front and rear (like on my Sam Hillborne) the light does flicker a bit
below 12kph.
Again,

I can't think of any mechanism that would cause the rear fender to move when
climbing, unless you're getting a huge amount of frame flex.

I have to agree with everyone else, i think we are all spoiled by how
simple it is to install the Nitto racks on almost any bike. But they
have a different look then the VO racks which are cleaner looking
since they don't have as much adjustment for bike variance.
I wish VO were a little more exp

The thing about bicycle tents is that you want a tent big enough to be
comfortable in, light enough to take while bicycle camping and be usable for
all conditions you will be riding. Let say you are doing a adventure

The Nitto M12 (& its sister M13) don't have provisions for adjustment
but are still easy to install -- cantilever brakes

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really think that for the
majority of what people need when bike camping, a tarp tent is an
excellent solution. There's a learning curve to setting one up, but
it's not a steep curve, and getting it right gives the same sense of
satisfaction as, say, successfu

Ok, here's my guess (disclaimer: I have not been to Walnut Creek..have not
seen the bars): It's an Albatross with a road-bar-ish flat section, and a
Moustache Bar-ish forward curve. The wider flat section before the curve
starts provides the wider stem-to-end dimension; the deeper curve provides

So we can still aim for 9:30 at the station, but have a bit more
flexibility. 9:30 isn't imperative anymore as the southbound train isn't
