I love my small saddle sack. It's "failed" me twice out of probably 100
trips. Both times I was loading it well outside it's intended limits. Once
I tried to transport an oversize book under the flap and hanging out the
sides... about a mile from my house it fell out in traffic and got run over
I have Longboards and Tektro Silver (not sure what "R" number those equate to)
brakes on my orange Ram, and it works great with 28m Paselas. I've also put on
32mm Schwalbe Marathons for a trip on the C&O Towpath, which worked fine too.
The Schwalbes seemed a little tight, but I had no problems
Ryan:
I use the older Shimano calipers, earlier than Longboard SKS fenders and
stick with 28 tires. I guess I could get the Tektro calipers, switch to
metal fenders and try 32s. Two observations about that; first is that
hair-splittingly close fenders will mysteriously begin rubbing the tire

I'll definitely be at garage sale. Jim, what type of ride were you thinking
about doing afterwards?

Hi Ryan,
I have a Blue Ram and after switching to Tektro 559s I use the SKS
longboards with Panaracer Pasela 35mm tires. The front has very tight
clearance but I got it to work. I also use the Sheldon fender nuts and I
think that helps by moving the fender back a few centimeters.

Both the Readers and the Bridgestone catalogues are now SOLD!
Thanks!

That is a gorgeous Atlantis. Good luck finding a Bomba or Hunq of equal

Congrats on the purchase Richard It was great meeting you and I'll miss
that bike! I have since purchased a 58cm Hunq frame with the bean/grey
paint scheme and at least I'll have a project for the Winter now!! Richard

The heaviest items I carry in my Saddlesack Small are my U-Lock, and my
Park multitool. Library books and such spread the weight fairly evenly when
I use it for such purposes. I've been impressed by the overall quality of
the bag and I've never loved a bike accessory more.
Regards and good luc
I live in LaCrescent, MN and agree, there are some great bicycling roads,
paved and gravel, in Houston County. Worth considering.

Hello all. Posted my Saluki last month and received alot of responses but
no takers. Some of the extras are no longer included but I have lowered the
price. $2,500 This bike is dialed in Took me several years to get it
right. Why would I sell it you ask? My intention was to do some tours. Th
The Ram is ready to ramble.
I added a Mark's rack on front with an Acorn mini-Rando bag, SKS longboard
fenders and swapped out my rear derailer for an XT mountain RD and added a
wide mountain cassette for my wheel.

Hillbubba revealed a modification of the Grip King pedals on this list a while
back, and a few lucky folks got the early batch of prototypes. I was one, and
finally modified the Grip Kings that came on my Mystery Bike over the weekend.
The mod makes an already great pedal well nigh perfect. F
I agree, I have about a thousand miles on the modded grip kings and they rock.
Much more stable.

Andy, your Saddlesack looks smart on that bike...mine looks very
similar.
One of my frequent purchases is a c. 3-foot long loaf of Italian
bread. On my old Little Joe bag, I could rig it up using the two
leather straps, but the single strap of the Saddlesack called for a
different solution. I us
No issues with the rack and bag. I carry the heavy tools etc. in the
saddlebag and put clothes/food in the front. As a disclaimer, I am pretty
impervious to minor handling differences because I ride tandems and
triplets with my squirmy kids in the back. --Actually they are very good
riders now and
32mm Supreme flatted on the way home from work yesterday. It was the
1st big rain of the season which always makes for interesting
conditions, so not a huge surprise.
What was a surprise was what I found when I took the tire off. The no
