Re: [RBW] Koolstop ThinLine question.

Steve, I did see the spec's on their site and koolstop's as well...then when I went to purchase said pads they all say for "V" brakes no mention of canti's or center pull's. I don't like ordering products online then dealing with the return hassle and additional cost. So thanks for the confirmati

Mike, I have some Ibex shirts and I like them okay...I'm sure I'll wear them now that the weather is cooling down some, I wish I bought a size larger though. So far I have found that my Patagucci long sleeve gone again shirt is ideal it dries super quick ventilates awesome and I can cover up my ar

Mike, Good to know others can ride that distance without padded shorts. No VP's I went with the Grip Kings and I like them, my wife has the VP's on her Betty and I can see why you like em. Sorry to hear you Mom is battling an illness, hope she recovers quickly. Best, ~Hugh On Mon, Nov 18, 2

Mike, Sorry to hear that. At that point you just cherish each day...one of our neighbors has cancer which started as breast cancer and has now moved to her bones, she just keeps doing radiation and knows it's the kind that will never go away. I brought she and her husband some food today. Very nic

Yep a pre-ride gospel might work but I know my audience and it worked better post ride. I just know what kind of ride I like these days and if I ride with them I sort of know it'll be a rush push, so if I remain true to what I like and when I occasionally ride with them it'll be in a relaxed manne

I'm off from 27th to the 30th but Thanksgiving is on the 28th and I'm planning on going to my Brothers for that day. I wish I could join you as it's really close and I need to get back out for an overnight and that loop is really nice. I'm getting ready to post the mid December S240 up Mount Gleas
