I ended up with a new Eddie Bauer First Ascent messenger bag. It looks
great and seems to be comfortable though I haven't ridden with it yet (work
and the great midwest blizzard).
My TimBuk2 bag was still functional, but all of the velcro was loosing its
grip. I cant wait to give the EB a try.
No help on the rim, but when the h%ll did 200plus really become clydesdale?
Seriously, I'm at least 225 pounds and at 6 foot I just seem to be normal
around my parts.

Are we really thinking that a piece of wire is going to cut into a 1/8th
inch thick piece of steel and it wont cut right thru a plastic cable liner?

Its not so much the weight as the location and type of weight.
Take a racing bike, replace the low spoke count wheels with some heavy duty
touring wheels. Weight difference in the wheels can easily be felt. Water

I'm fine talking steel, lugs, carbon, groupsets, touring, fixies, really
just about anything bike related. Nothing really gets me going like
talking about rider weight. I am 6' and right around 225 pounds. Yes, I
will be the first to admit that I need to lose some weight, but I refuse to

What are you using in the rear? What terrain do you ride in? How fast to
you go?
36/50 is sort of the new compact standard, which is still geared towards
"fast/sport" riders.
With my standard cassette (12x28), I tend to like compacts in the 34/46
range.

I probably should have asked about the rear derailuer too, but why not swap
out to a bigger cassette?
Nashbar has a Shimano SLX 11-32 for fifty buck right now.

Thanks Kai for the heads up. I've seen the Berns but have yet to try one
on. I will try to look out for a bigger one.
I'll admit that I rarely wear helmets, I try every once in a while but I
have a wide head and have yet to be able to find something that doesn't put
pressure on the sides of my
I'll jump in after a long weekend offline.
I have an love my candybar bag, not on the bike though. I use mine under
the headlight on my motorcycle as a tool bag. I made two slits in the bag
and inserted a dowel rod to use a mounting style like the rest of the
Baggins bags.
Its great and I love it
John,
Thank you for sharing. I cannot imagine what you are feeling. I'm so
sorry.
Alex just earned my two kids an extra hug tonight.

Jim might be able to more acurately chime in on this, but after about a
dozen years in the shops, I think its the other way around. Shops make
money on partsand labor. At least for me, standard markup on a complete
bike was in the 30-35% range. The markup on parts was 100% and labor was
