Thank you for this PSA. I was on the list, but I had changed my phone
number and email address since, so I did not get the notice. I was able to
purchase 2 of the flat style, which is what I wanted. The grooved style was
already sold out. Now they are all sold out, probably should have bought 4

The wonderful thing about steel, is that it can be bent, within reason,

be done, and once set it never slips. All you need is a good vice, some

get high tension without cracking the rim. The washers spread the
load of the spoke nipple over a wider area and prevents the rim from
cracking. With lowish spoke count wheels and dished wheels, you can easily
exceed the rim's cracking threshold.

You are assuming that all anodized parts are available without anodizing,
which it not true for all parts.
Note that most colored anodizing is temporary also, the anodizing fades

You need to lubricate the binder bolt because:
1. It can gall if not lubricated, especially if the bolt and nut are

2. The lubricant allows more of the force that you apply to go into

What stem are you using? I like that a lot better than the open face welded

In the meantime - a dis-assembled NOS 1972 40 hole AW and the longest axle
that I could find. Just a standard 3 speed, not one of Patrick's exotic
Sturmey-Archers. For the Rosco Baby. Original grease/oil was fairly
petrified.
What kind of oil do you use in your SAs, Patrick?

I have the Grundens poncho and fishing hat. I looked on the Grundens
website and could not find the poncho, but they still have the hat. I also
have the MUSA splats. I was ready to order the gaiters, but they never

The poncho works great
Use some penetrating oil on the threads (PB Blaster, etc.). Get some left
handed drill bits and drill larger holes, preferably in the center of the
sheared off bolt. It may be that the left handed drill bit will grab and

The other possibility is that if the bolt was stainless steel, it could
have galled and again, penetrating oil will be unlikely to help.
Tools: I have a set of thread cleaning tools - these are for cleaning up
existing threads, they look similar to taps and dies, but will not cut into

I have not felt comfortable standing on the pedals in many years. I sit and
spin regardless of the type of bike. On a single speed, I will dismount and
walk when the slope is too steep - not often the case in Florida.
I seem to remember a top cyclist from years ago advocating for sitting and

You *need* to wire the tail light from the headlight. If you do not, and
you turn off the headlight, the tail light may burn out because it cannot
absorb all the power of the generator. All modern LED headlights are
