[RBW] WTB: Park Tool DAG

Hi all — If you're holding a Park Derailer Hanger Alignment Gauge you'd let go of please let me know your price shipped to me in 22401. As some of you know, I recently mangled my derailer hanger. I'm trying to get it sorted out. I'd like to try to further finesse the hanger in my home shop bef

[RBW] Re: Tried and liked: Suntour Cyclone pretzel

Thanks, Ryan. Yes, I think the cost for the repair would be reasonable. I worry the cost to freight the frame would be a little painful and the time without the bike could be considerable depending on how it shakes out. The poster is the MTB countryside illustration, same illustrator who did y

rently have a Deore XT derailer installed. I much prefer the classical looks of the Suntour Cyclone but I'm going to leave the XT installed for the shakeout period. Thanks again to everyone for the help, encouragement, kind words and collective brainpower! On Thursday, August 3, 2023 at

Thanks for sharing, Kim. In case anyone's interested, those are the first three catalogs, there is not a catalog labelled "No. 2," (apparently one of Grant's jokes). The price is reasonable, those early ones are hard to find. They look like they're in pretty good shape! On Saturday, August
