I think this is perfectly legit request on Bill's part. People sell off
parts from complete bikes for all sorts of reasons all the time. So I see
this basically as WTB/ISO post.

Great suggestions all. Jason, the Swagman is near the limits on weight for
my Betty since it has fenders, dyno, etc. The other bike will most likely
be a Surly Disc Trucker so both will be towards the 35 lb max weight limit.

I have procured a willing partner who has agreed to conspire with me to get
a B68 into my hands. Dollars have not been exchanged and I don't have the
B68 in my hands, but a gentleman's agreement has been struck and I'm
confident I'm going to get what I asked for.

Greg's got the right idea: Start your clipless experiments with SPD,

But the fact that they're easy to acquire doesn't mean they work for

The sprung version is still pretty common. The B68 had been totally out of
production...or so I thought. Rivendell has an OEM deal with Brooks that
lets them sell a saddle on a complete bike purchase. I looked for a

It uses a wedge system so the 'bolt on' and off is extremely easy and

As far as handling it goes, I believe it is pretty

Hi Brian,
That is why Laing's frame pump is inverted. I understand now.
I'm currently making custom frame pump for my Clem Smith Jr. "L" between

Not many people know this, but Shimano makes pairs of beginner SPD pedals

I've used a fair number of non-Shimano SPD clones, including a number of
Wellgos, and be they Wellgos or WTBs or Ritcheys or Xpedias or what have
you, I've not found clipping in and out as secure and crisp as with Shimano
SPDs. Of course, I rarely take great pains to match cleat make to pedal
make,
The 421s have one side which is flat and the other side is clip-in. We use
it on the triplet for the 0.8 mile (one way) commute to school for the kids
to ride to school in their running shoes. They're great. Amazon seems to
have stopped selling them but I've had no problems ordering them from
vario
I haven’t used the 421 but the m324 is nice on my commuter— I can make
short trips without worrying about my bike shoes.
I like clip-in pedals for hills.

Your FD needs to be lowered a fair bit. At the point of closest approach,

The hiccup here is his double is really more of a triple with the middle

idea.

Thanks all. When the FD was lowered, the chain could not climb up to the big ring. First thing he did was lower it. I tried it myself, when I first got the bike. I just ordered a cx70. If that doesn’t work, I’ll get new VBC or figure something out.Also figured out the brake levers were long pull. S
