[RBW] Tubus Cosmo and ~64cm Frame size?

2012-07-03 Thread HKett
Hi everyone, I have a 64cm Atlantis and right now I have a standard blackburn rack on it that is too small to get level and as thus presses against my fenders and causes rubbing. So I've decided to get a new rack, and the Tubus Cosmo looks perfect for what I want. I've placed a backorder at the

My personal system is a Kryptonite cable run through both the rear wheel and the saddle rails and then attached to a u-lock. This is if I am locking my bike up in the city, or leaving it somewhere for more than 15 minutes or so (I know a bike can be stolen in much less time, but if I'm only stop

Yup, the insurance should cover it. I work at a bike shop and we have several calls a week from insurance companies asking for what a replacement bike would cost for a bike that has been totalled. We also get people looking at a replacement bike saying they'll come back to buy one once they get

You could also use some wooden pieces running underneath the basket to support the wire, though I think this would mostly be necessary if you're transporting something very dense that could bend the wire i.e: shopping bag full of canned goods On Saturday, November 3, 2012 9:43:25 PM UTC-4, Scot

I work at a shop that sells the Topeak drybag cases for the iphone 4. They seem like a good affordable option that can stand up to a little spray too. I particularly like that they don't require the phone to be in a special (read: bulky) case to clip into a mount. I have my phone in a sleeve cas
