I purchased delivery confirmation with your priority package. The
tag is at home and I can send you the number later today. No worries
here! :-)

One thing I didn't see mentioned is making sure the pads are
equidistant from the rim. If one pad is firmly against the rim but
the other isn't it will make a racket until you squeeze harder - then
it stops.

Those quilts are a really cool idea, but I have a hard time seeing how
they would cover as well as a sleeping bag.

Watch for Eric Estlund of Winter Bicycles, Eugene, Oregon. He is
doing stunning work.

Not only that, but USPS will deliver free of charge as many flat rate
boxes of whatever size you want.

3K is pretty darn good in my book. I check my tires frequently for
wear and picking out bits that are stuck in them. When I start to see
cracks that's my indicator that a new tire is needed, and I almost
never get a flat. My last flat was about 3 years ago - a tedious
experience that I do not w
In my opinion there is very little out there that can beat the ride of
the Pasela, but it's only my opinion. :-)

Back problems can be caused by a number of different factors. The

You may have made too much change all at once - too much change in the
handlebars, and it might have been better to do lots of smaller rides
to allow your back to get used to it. Baby steps are the key when
making changes like this.
For now it seems like you've sorted things out, which is great,
Another thing to consider is stretching your hand to open up the
carpal tunnel since it's the nerve that passes through there that gets
constricted and goes numb. Simply open your hand in a starfish shape

even nicer, but for commuting I need the flat protection. BQ did

The cyclotourist is indeed a very beautiful crank but it is best
suited to those with narrow hips because of its low Q factor. If you
have narrow hips your feet will naturally fall closer together on the
pedals. Watch people from behind as they pedal and notice where their
feet are rel

Also, I have an old Suntour Superbe Pro front derailleur, which works
well with both models of cyclotourist. I started with 115mm bb as
recommended, but it turns out to work better with a 118mm bb - not
sure but that might be because the frame was built for a 42mm tire
with fenders.

With regard to puncture resistance, I highly recommend spending $4 on
a roll of one inch Gorilla tape and applying it to the inside of the
tire in the same way you'd apply the now very expensive Panaracer
Flataway. I have it on my Hetres and it's doing a fine job.

I highly recommend the Hetre, although I have to admit to complete
lack of experience regarding the narrower tire. The Hetre has changed
the way I ride in that it gives so much more stability. Descent is no
longer a white knuckle affair, but a joy. It is a very fast tire,
depending only on the e
Just my opinion but the Hetre is the center of its own universe. The
only tire that could even dream of revolving in its golden orbit would
be a 40mm Pasela. Failing that, we have the CdlV which is alternately
praised in dulcet tones or vilified back to the primeval muck it came
from. I believe
