I agree that the turnbuckle closures on the pockets are functionally great;
but, they tend to rattle on chips eel and the like, which bugs me. Has anyone
managed to silence the rattle?

I need to replace the cables on my first generation Sam Hillborne. I like the
look of the Jagwire Road Pro Gold Medal braided cable and was wondering if it
is a good match to the gold decals on the green Sam. The decals are more of a
bronze than gold to my eyes so I'm afraid it clash. Anyone loo
I would like to replace my shimano gray cables with some Jagwire braided
and see that they road pros come in gold. Has anyone paired those with the
first gen Sam Hillborne with the metallic green and gold (more bronze to my
eye) seat panel and lettering? It will either look great of clash. Any
Thanks Will for the detailed review. I have the same problem as you with most
knickers - they're too short for my long femurs. Would you mind measuring the

Thanks,

I have not been in person; but from their web presence and sponsorship of

I have a first generation canti Sam and my CR720s wiggle quite s bit in the
pivots, more so on the fork. With more than usual toe-in they perform just
fine. Still as the toe-in lessens with pad wear the judder starts to reappear.
Do others have this issue? Are the tolerances of the 720s just poo

I learned about Rivendell in 1997 when I was educating myself Online on
high-end steel road frames and manufacturers. I ended up buying a Waterford but
became a Riv member shortly thereafter and continued to follow them along with
BQ. I’d always wanted an Atlantis When they were introduced but
I’d be interested in hearing more about how the G-One Allrounds do off road and
what kind of trails you ride.
I’ve been thinking of putting them on my Jones SWB since I ride quite a bit on
road and rarely ride on trails when they are muddy and don’t feel like knobbies
are really needed for the
I'm finally getting around to clearing out some stuff and decided to start

2) Velo Orange Model 6, similar to Brooks Swallow. I bought this abo

I had the same thing happen to my 9 spd bar end shifter after about 14k miles.
In the middle of the range where it spent the most time the indexing got very
sloppy to the point where it didn't click positively in 2 or 3 gears. I used it
in friction mode after that for a short while but eventuall

Last year I did an ultralight 3-week tour of the French Alps carrying less than
15 lbs in a large acorn boxy and Carradice Junior. Worked out very well. The
only advantage to panniers is that they can be quickly removed and carried with
you. I resorted to large nylon bags to remove my stuff each

I did something similar to what Friend suggests. The front of my SKS fender
broke off where I cut slots to allow my side pulls room around the fender. I
simply used aluminum flashing and attached it to the bottom of the rack using
the existing screws. Worked fine. I don’t have that setup anymore
