I had a click for six months that only happened when I stood up or climbed
hills. I went absolutely crazy finding it.
It was the front derailleur clamp being just loose enough that the hinge
moved enough to click as the frame around the bb flexed when I climbed
hills... (79kg on a 63cm Hilsen)
Almost all autofocus SLR camera / lens systems will allow you to focus
manually.
If you want the manual feel, but with good auto exposure capabilities, search
for a used Nikon FM3A. It was the last of its type ever made by Nikon and as
such you’re still able to find ones in mint / NOS conditio
Best film camera I have found for taking photos while riding (and I’ve tried
many) is the Olympus XA or XA-2 or -4. The XA-4 is rare and more expensive,
but you find an XA or XA-2 fairly cheap on eBay. Both take great photos. The
XA-2 is more automatic and, for me, a better choice for taking qu
I think you are probably right, as it doesn't feel like a glass and silver

replaceable? I got a replacement mirror from a fabulous forum member, but
it might go bad in a few years.

Agreed. Those XA cameras were the best. I owned two and they each died when the
shutter button stopped working. I think this was a common problem. Still, if I
ever got back into pocket 35mm photography I’d look for a good one.
The Olympus Stylus Epic was a sort of spiritual follow up to that ca
I have a Rollei compact 35mm full manual that has a matching needle light meter
on the top of the case. When you load film, set the ASA on the dial on top.
Pick aperture or shutter speed as your priority, it sets that needle in the
light meter and you adjust the other until the two align and you
I bought a Simple0ne from a RBWOB member a while ago because my friend had
a single speed with chubby tires and convinced me I should do the same.
Funny enough he sold his this week, right after I got my bike already to

You're going down a mini-wormhole here! There are plenty of opinions out
there... There are Olympus people, Canon people, Minolta people, Petri

made cameras that excelled in ways and potentially fell short in others.

Leah,
I don't want to disparage any bike mechanic but I wonder if REI has
mechanics with much experience. I along with others would recommend new
shifters as you have decided and take it to an LBS mechanic. Good luck!

They finally arrived after 13 weeks and, having worn them for about and
hour, I think they're pretty comfortable and they seem well made. If the
company were more realistic about there delivery time -- it was posted as
20 working days plus shipping when I ordered, and when last I looked it was
Gosh, what a cool bike! Even though I have a Clem L and an Atlantis, I
still pine after a 58 SimpleOne. It reminds me of my chubby-tire’d Swobo
Accomplice, which was my gateway to the Riv world. One day maybe!

For riding with heavier front loads, the Nitto 34F Big Front Rack still
seems like a better basket-rack solution to me: stronger, more stable, able
to carry panniers & about the same price I think.
Ooops, Riv no longer carries the Big Front Rack, but that's where I
purchased mine. Doe
Beautiful bike Jeff!
Makes me want to convert my Hunqapillar into a single speed.

Hi All,
The bags and bars are gone. I am keeping the Surly 24 Pack Rack for now, but
I’ll update this post if I decide to sell (I’ve had some interest recently) it
later. I still have the 2 Fish cage.
Thanks!

My favorite film camera to carry on the bike or cross country skiing was
the Rollei 35S. The Zeiss Sonnar lens is terrific. The camera weighs next
to nothing, and takes up very little space.

Hey group, Just wondering if anyone has a Nitto technomic stem in 8cm length
that they’re not using. Preferably 25.4 clamp but 26.0 works too. Thank you!

My opinion of REI's bike mechanic fell precipitously a few years ago when
the *head mechanic* told me that the rubbing pads of the Shimano disk
brakes on a bike newly bought for a friend were behaving normally and would
stop rubbing after they "wore in." Idiot. Fixed them myself.
I do like REI's m
I shoot a lot of film using a few Rolleiflex cameras and a slew of Pentax
35mm stuff. I personally think the MeSuper and the Super Program or even
just the Program cameras with a fixed focal length lens of your choosing
make a really great, small setup for automatic exposure/manual focus stuff.
1. You have given me hope that all will be well with new shifters!
2. Where is that darn speed racer? Must have decided he couldn’t handle the
hill. And certainly not in this heat.
3. Front derailleur seems to be behaving this week. I don’t know that it had
ever been used much. When I got it, I w
I feel I must take the shifters to the REI mechanics now. That was the deal -
they wouldn’t charge me for last visit but told me to come back for shifter
service instead. Don’t I kind of have to see them? They do understand about
friction, they just didn’t get the set up on my Aquaclem the first
Unless you're doing it yourself - I'll tell you how! - then it's off to REI for
you. The new shifters will be less finicky for them, plus I/we can talk you
through any further adjustments that may be needed.
Just make sure they know you're doing reverse-sides with both in friction.
They'll be

The basket rack has a wider platform and much better supports the basket,
and honestly almost all loads that people throw up front. The 32F is
awesome for loaded touring but I think it's overkill for most riding, and
looks a bit bulky. I think Riv nailed the design for the basketrack.

THE best camera is the Olympus OM-1n.
The "n" is the upgraded version of the original OM-1. Well worth seeking
out.
Great lenses available. Start with a 50mm (the one most people paired it
with). Then branch out to a wide (28mm) and save up for an 85mm (perfect
for portraits).
The camera i

It might be worth (as others have noted) cleaning your drivetrain areas,
letting it dry, and using some sort of SpotCheck like spray to reveal
cracks.

Ghost shifting may also be as simple as a slight tightening of the tension
bolt on top of the shifter in question. D-rings to adjust are sweet,
hex/allen bolts are not !

Ghost shifting with those clickety SunRace shifters is a fault of using an IGH
shifter on a derailer. It can be fiddled with enough cure it to the
satisfaction of some, but it's simply not a friction shifter. Leah will be much
happier with the Microshift, I promise.

Now you got me shopping for an OM-1N. Since I was a teen I've wanted a
nikon Fm2. Year or two ago I bought 6 rolls of kodak b/w film that's been
sitting in my fridge because of this forum :p. Cost to develop and print
gave me pause.

Speaking of development. Does everyone go online now? If so, who do people like?
Also, just to update, I picked up an Olympus xa2, because I could wrap my head
around that and it’s price most immediately. It was on eBay but it’s got a good
return policy and good seller feedback.

Oh! All this has jogged my memory (and camera collection): you should
definitely consider adding to your now growing collection (n+1, just like
bikes) of cameras the Yashica Electro 35. There are various models, but you
should look for the GSN or GTN (one is chrome, the other black). They are
old.
