because the original push-push were gummed up into uselessness after 30-odd

Around these parts it's not uncommon to see milk crates attached to bicycle
rear racks, probably with zip ties, for hauling everything under the sun.
Not sure how stable they are - some don't look to solid.

IIRC when i used the P45, i think i was at around 35-37mm on the tires and
it was tight, fiddly. i've seen someone with one using the flat wood
fenders (fancy i know) and that was a little bit easier due to the profile
of the fenders.

My understanding is that the PDW tabs are to be used on the front wheel if
only using on one wheel for safety reasons. If the rear wheel locks up, it
does not throw you over the handle bars like locking up the front wheel
does.

How about using your 9 speed cassette as an 8 speed by adjusting out lowest or
highest gear with a limit screw, assuming you can so without one of those gears?

Thanks for the suggestion. Others have stated the barcons have enough pull
for Shimano 9 speed and the M591 is definitely 9 speed. Also, I am quite
happy with my drivetrain choices for the 650B-38's I'm using

thanks for the confirmation on the barcons with Shimano 9 speed. Looks
like the Shimano 9sp Rd's have a ratio of about 1.72.
I got the 4.34mm cog spacing from the Shimano exploded view drawing of a
2.56mm spacer and 1.78mm cog for a 9 speed cassette.

Hey, Bunch:
What v-brake pads are you running, and what are your thoughts about their
function?
I've been running Shimano XTR pads and find they have a "hard" feel to them.
Happy holidays,

Hi Scott,
I am running rim brake pads from PAUL Component Engineering on my Clem
Smith Jr. "L". I removed the stock "V" brakes and installed Dia-Compe 980
cantilever brakes and levers. The pads stop solid and very well. Happy.

I like to dual compound pads from Kool Stop. The salmon pads squeal too
much. The dual compound stop fantastically and set up easily and I like
having the pads that slide into the holder.
