Sage advice, Manny. Thanks for this. I agree that sometimes all it takes is a bit of positive vibes and some good company, and things brighten up. Peace, KJ On Sunday, April 27, 2014 1:38:34 PM UTC-4, Manuel Acosta wrote: > > Dealing with a lot of failures in my life lately. > Nothing too bi

Sounds like the DS tape would be the best approach, but I have also used epoxy in the past with reliable results. KJ On Tuesday, April 29, 2014 8:14:17 PM UTC-4, Marc Irwin wrote: > > Riding down the MTP this afternoon there was an ominous clanketyclank > clank. I found my Hunqapillar headbadg

[RBW] Re: Riv-ish Ride Down the CA Coast

So pretty! I remember driving and camping along that stretch of HWY 1 a few years back. Even though it was mid-summer, it was stunning, and cold as heck too! I can't imagine riding it, that would be a blast. KJ On Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 11:21:48 AM UTC-4, Eric Norris wrote: > > I finally p

I did this as well, using the 7700 levers and the adapter washers from Riv. This was on Noodles, and then Albastaches. I didn't like it in the end - the shifting wasn't as silky as a straight-up Shimano 9spd BE unit, more of a BRAPP! indexing action. And in the lowest gears on the Albas, the l

[RBW] Re: good blug post on rim and disk brakes

Great post, I always enjoy Grant's writings. Physics aside, I don't completely buy his staunch position on disks. I would certainly consider disks on future bikes (a serious dirt bike, my next winter slushmobile). I imagine disk brakes (or some of them at least) are adequately user-serviceable

Goo Gone or any citric acid based cleaner, such as Citra Solv. Soak it, let it sit for a minute, then scrub off. KJ On Tuesday, May 17, 2016 at 11:07:48 AM UTC-4, Eric Norris wrote: > > Goo Gone also works well. > > --Eric Norris > campyo...@me.com > www.campyonly.com > campyonlyguy.blogspot.co

That's the way I see it. It's a fun and versatile all-rounder of a bike, not a traditional road-touring bike the way most tandems seem to be. That said, I do wonder how it would ride with some nice plump Compass Switchback Hills on it >>I believe Grant has suggested the lower profile Choc
