1. I recently swapped for a pair of Tektro RL740 interrupter levers with a listmember (thanks again) and use them with the **mountain** BB7s on my Fargo. Even setting the pads closer to the rotors than before (that was the reason the iffy rotor on the front BA wheel "snicked" per my recent question; I've since bent it into acceptable planarity.(Yep, that's a real word and it's the correct adjective.) ... I say, even setting the pads closer to rotors, the Tektros come close to bottoming on the bar. The also-Tektro road levers are, if anything, set so that they move a bit too little -- I like my road levers to "bottom out" about an inch from the bar. But I can't release cable tension for fear of rendering the interrupters almost useless.
Now there are little red twist know "quick releases" on the interrupters, but when I twist them it seems to make no difference in the lever travel, so perhaps there is a trick here. So, after that long windup, can anyone explain how to use these qr knobs correctly? Perhaps I am after all running the interrupters in "released" mode. 2. I got a packet of information from Adventure Cycling and it all looks very plus, yuppie and expensive. I really do want to sign up for a tour, as soon as I get some money; but I don't need a Cadillac package. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has participated in AC tours (Steve?) and learn hiserher opinion and receive any comments or suggestions about alternatives. I'd stick to the SW near ABQ, NM -- so NM, CO, AZ, TX, OK. The AC catalogue is full of really neat gadgets (Who needs to ride? Just spend!) including those very large seat packs I not too long ago asked about, neat lights, various ad hoc cages and cage mounting devices, a ver interesting "emergency derailleur hangar" and much else worth coveting. Jan Heine has a lighting article in their current magazine (nothing in it you haven't read before) and, lastly, there is a website for "overnight camping" which I must look up. -- "When in Rome, do as they done in Milledgeville."
