You should be able to park in Atlantic Highlands or at the ferry terminal in Highlands. A good friend owns a brewery in Atlantic Highlands (Carton Brewing) so we could grab some beers before/after if anyone is up for that. This location is v convenient for NY’ers via the Seastreak ferry. It is kin

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack Reports and Photos?

[RBW] Re: 26" Clem Smith Jr Wheelset - $90+ship

Ed, did you end up installing the Xtracycle conversion on the Clem? I've been thinking about building a cargo set up in 2020 and had the idea to do an Xtracycle on a Clem L or Cheviot, but thought that the chainstays were too long to be compatible. If you were able to work it out, could you post

[RBW] ISO: SKS P50 front fender for 700

I crumpled my front fender during a ride this fall and have yet to replace it (mostly b/c i don't want to buy a brand new pair since the rear one is perfectly fine and bears the brunt of the work). Wondering if anyone has a spare front lying around, just so I'm somewhat symmetrical again. Shippi

[RBW] Re: Rack choice for Wald basket on a Hillborne

Mark's rack is great for a medium Wald basket. I even ran a large Wald on mine for about a year with longer struts extended down to the upper dropout eyelet for extra stability. I currently have the NItto basket rack but it's twice as expensive and probably not twice as good. On Thursday, Ja

yep, it's an extremely long bike/wheelbase requiring an extra long chain. On Sat, Mar 28, 2020 at 11:03 AM Tirebiter ATX wrote: > I’ve read the reason for this is the Cheviot wheelbase is a bit longer > than maybe even the Homer? > > On Saturday, March 28, 2020 at 9:33:33

[RBW] Re: Bicycle Lights for Commuting

I have a budget dynamo set-up on my commuter Cheviot. Shimano DH-3N dynamo hub (under $100) with a Busch & Müller Eyc headlamp ($40 floor model). Rear light is currently a USB Cygolite HotShot 100 lumen, but had a Dyno B&M Rack-mount Light with Pulse previously when i was running a rear rack.

[RBW] Re: It's getting to be that time of year again: Time to order stuff from Rivendell

just bought a large shop sack and basket rack this week. anyone know if the basket racks are actually on hand at Riv or en route? haven't seen a shipping email yet. Per Grant's Oct 8 blog: "NITTO BASKET RACKS will be here again by mid Nov, and they'll be sold out before they get here, I think."

[RBW] Re: New vs. Old Parts for Appaloosa

I think it's nice to have a mix of old and new parts on a build, but sourcing good quality used parts or NOS can be time consuming and expensive. I spent a substantial sum on a used rapid rise rear derailleur for my Platypus and *really* dig it. Is it better than a $20 Altus? Functionally no, b
