Re: [RBW] Re: Saddle comparison - Brooks B17 vs. Berthoud Touring

I got one of those for Xmas, and really like the two bolt design. I am worried about the clamping area as it seems much narrower than a Nitto, Thomspon, or brand X clamp. Seems like it could concentrate vibrations over a smaller area and lead to fatigue on the saddle rails. Time will tell... On

Re: [RBW] Cycling Scotsdale AZ?

Probably Roadeo as you'll want to get out of Scottsdale to do some riding. There are a lot of off-road trails in the area as well, if you want to put the fattest tires you could fit on. Here's one ride I do when I'm out there: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Right-around-Dreamy-Draw-and-mount

I don't see much for those QBP rings on the google... just different colored stuff that isn't exactly the ascetic I'm looking for. I'll check out the Salsa offerings. Are some of the Suginos pinned/ramped? I had some before that weren't, and didn't shift for me. On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 8:57 PM,
