I parked my Quickbeam in a steel bike locker at Ashby BART for several
years. I never worried about anyone stealing my bike - principally
because there were so many other bikes nearby in racks that were much

2. Have you considered pulling the rack closer to the headtube?

Kojaks are wonderful. I have a couple thousand miles on them, on
various bikes including a Vanilla and a Roadeo. I am fairly
enthralled by them.

i.e., Would You? when I am out riding.

I am working over the new 66cm Quickbeam, and saw the cranks were flopping,
which turned out to be from a loose BB. It's a sealed cartridge Shimano

I'm looking for a 1" Tektro cable hanger, specifically a "deep-drop"

A quick comment to say the 66cm Quickbeam arrived, and I've been tending to
its bits and quirks. New tires (Jack Browns), new wheels (Dyad Velocity,
built by Rich Lesnick), and my pedals and seat, plus a 16t cog on the
