On the previous numbers I was in the middle for a 51cm. I didn’t think the 51 has changed in any way but now I am no longer in the middle with an 80.6 PBH. On Mon, Sep 14, 2020 at 8:01 PM S wrote: > I admit to being picky, but then, I would guess this is true of most > posters in the group. Th

Mathew, thanks, I prefer UPS over Fedex so good info. I think UPS is faster as well, Fedex routes very strangely. Joel On Thu, Sep 17, 2020 at 6:54 PM Matthew Williams < matthewwilliamsdes...@gmail.com> wrote: > BikeFlights uses/ships through UPS, and I've been very happy with BF's > service. >

David, not a work stand, not yet anyway. I want the bikes to be secure in my sunroom which is where I leave them during cycling season but the stands I have now are not at all secure, either too loose or too tight, I can adjust but they seem to not be good for either 42mm or 48mm tires. These use t

Well I need to stance and I ordered another one from a company that was recommended in this thread. But I’m going to have to look at this Nitto one because it does look good it just takes up a little more space it seems but probably not too much and I do like the idea of being able to spin the whee
