CB cycles in Oakland is very experienced. He apprenticed with Mikkelson for
a few years. Doing a lot of repairs these days, and he loves weird projects.

I have had Ed Litton, mentioned before me, bend back a fork. Superb
experience.
Erik at CB cycles brazed in a third bottle cage on my Surly Ogre. He
apprenticed with Mikkelsen for a few years and is located near West Oakland
BART. Also a superb experience.

Winter approaches, and as summer wastes away so do our hours of sunlight!
I am looking to outfit my new bike with a tour-worthy lamp and am wondering
if anyone has direct experience or opinions between the B&M IQ-x, Schmidt

Hey All,
I recently had a pretty unique wheel stolen off my bike in San Francisco.
It was a 26" 40 hole Velocity Cliffhanger to Velocity Tandem ATB Hub. A
26x1.75" Schwalbe Marathon (or Marathon Plus?) tire was mounted. I checked
the East Bay flea markets last week, and while there were plent
150 lb rider, I run 40 front 45 Rear. It is a miracle I have not suffered a
pinch flat though. I have tubeless 35c Gravel Kings on non-tubeless rims
with a tube inside.
On road, I'll pump it up closer to 50. never any higher than 55 though.

+1 for the HED Belgiums with Bill Lindsay. Top quality manufacturing, and
they build up like a dream. I have had some tires come off by hand (when
deflated) with no tire levers needed.
As far as the A23, I have found Compass tires (and probably other brands)
will stretch after a week or two of
r. Typically pinch flats occur at pressure 25%

+1 on the Jandd recommendation. Cheap, got all the features, durable. It is not
waterproof like the Revelate, though water resistant - good enough for any
day-ride. I do use it on some touring, though for long trips will use a custom
full size bag. Fits several of my bikes 👍

I rode tubulars on an 80's steel road bike for a few years. I am a younger,
newer rider (26 years old at time of press) so I didn't have the "first
bike" experience you mentioned, but I was drawn to tubulars for the ride
quality and weight savings. I used Continental Sprinter Gatorskins I think.
I've always preferred Shutter Precision for my hubs. I rode Colorado Trail
and Baja Divide with B&M IQ-X and honestly it was a great light. Perfect on
road, good enough on the trail. I have since upgraded to a Sinewave, which
is crazy bright. In theory, it can be run off of an external battery,
Sounds about right. NorCal is usually cold, cloudy, foggy, and possibly
(probably not) wet, while SoCal is almost always sunny. Like actually.
That said, its a beautiful route, that is excellent any time of the year.
Enjoy,

Sounds like chainline to me. Without seeing the bike in person and assuming
everything was tightened correctly, my guess was going to be the chain was
running rough. FYI I have also noticed some chains are louder than others;
for example, KMC 9 speed chains are generally louder on Shimano casset
Best value (being performance/cost) for me, would be a Busch+Muller IQ-X
with a Shutter Precision or Shimano dynamo hub. Pair it with your rear
light of choice from Busch+Muller.
TBH don't be afraid of battery powered setups. You just get spoiled with a
dynamo, but it is a high start up cost. A
Wish I had seen this earlier!! Just built a wheelset for my tandem, and
used a Silver front hub with WTB rear I found.

Hi, I have a Nitto Big Rack 34f for sale. Light use, still in great
condition. I also have some non-Nitto brand medium p-clamps for mounting
without midfork eyelets. Generic photo attached.
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm asking $150 including shipping.
Rack is located in Oakland, CA
We've had all sorts of odd stuff taken when they could've taken more
expensive items - front quick releases (no wheel?), empty grocery bag
folded in front basket (but not the stretchy net keeping it in there?),
frame pump. Once they unbolted the handlebars off my "bar bike" fixie,

I recently built a modern mountain bike with 27.5x2.8 tires to replace some
29x2.4 tires. the 2.8" was a lot of heft at first but I got used to it. At
higher pressures, it can roll pretty quickly. Eve
Great shop, and an ever better place to work. Rob is awesome, +1
They are also Compass (Rene Herse?) dealers too, though I bought the last
Barlow Pass so expect to see new tires on the shelf soon.

This is something I've never found a particularly elegant solution for on a

Usually I ziptie or tape to and run along the rear brake cable and housing.
Then wrap around the seatstays. The black wire will stand out on a
non-black frame but its functiona
+1 for Rijksmuseum. I also recommend hanging out at Café Mankind a few
blocks away, just a small locals spot that wasn't crowded. That's where we
