I did an experiment some years ago. A customer was complaining about the
bike having a shimmy after he moved his saddle to the rear for a better
fit. He also kept a racktop bag filled with all sorts of stuff. This got me
to thinking, a state which is fraught with danger.
On my own touring bike, wh
Hi Peter,
Was your racktop bag on a front rack or a rear rack, and what kind of bike
was it (I'm thinking about trail with that latter question). Thanks.

I thought it was likely weight distribution. I ride with my saddle pretty
far back and if I cary anything, then it's in a saddle bag.

Still looking?
I’ve got a 16/18 DOS brandy new in the box.
$100 shipped.
I also have:
17T & 22T for $80 each (shipped)
18T Trials for $100 (shipped)
The 17T has been mounted and ridden almost not-at-all. It looks and feels like
new. Others are NIB.

The tires ride nice, but I've been wondering if they are making the bike
feel a little more sluggish than it could be. I switched to them very
shortly after getting the bike, and I didn't really notice much of a
difference compared to the stock Kendas. I've got over 3000 miles on them
now. No f

The geometry chart and the pythagorean theorem tells us that the Wheelbase
of a 55 Cheviut on the geo chart is 1242mm. If you just add Front Center
to Chainstay length, you are really close at 1249mm, but the real wheelbase
is a few mm shorter because of BB drop.

Bill, are you sure?
I know the WB of the new 55 Chev will be 47.28 inches in the 55 cm, and the
difference between the 2 generations is supposed to be that the new Chev has
longer chainstays (and ability to take wider tires and something about brake
posts). The conversion for 1242 mm is just s
That's a good point which I should have mentioned in a convo I had with Roberta
about those tires. I think the stock Kendas are kind of atrocious, but it's
true that big Schwalbes with big flat protection aren't necessarily miles
better in the ride department.
Maybe we can hear from Bicycle Be
Oh duh, I wish I could edit these things (deleting doesn't take it off the

I’m sure you’re right about the math.
Does anyone have a real 55cm Cheviot they want to measure for us?

I have one hanging in my garage right now. Ask me what you want measured, and
be very specific (e.g. “length of the chainstay as measured from the center of
the BB spindle to the center of the rear hub”) and I will do my best to answer,
within the limits of my manky old measuring tape.

Fantastic. Thanks so very much, Jay!

The Big Apples roll very well for their puncture resistance and great heft,
or at least, those I used 10 years ago did -- don't know if they've changed
the design.

Not at all Brett! Yes, they all include a fork. In fact I just remembered
that the Sam includes the headset, bottom bracket and seatpost(Like Riv
normally does) They were in storage and I didn't have ready access over

No, it's the Spank Flare bar that Analog sells
https://www.analogcycles.com/product/spank-flare-25-degree-bars/
unique in that its 31.8mm around all the way across the flats , from the
clamp area until the the bends ...really comfortable on the hands.

Heyo,
I have in my possession some tires that I would like to get rid of in an
attempt to do some covid-cleaning. See below, prices include shipping:
- One Pair of RH/Compass Bon Jon Pass 700x35 tires, standard casing. One
has the compass logo, another has the RH logo. Approximately 200 m
27 matches
