There are real problems with Travel Agents, including safety. I just
changed levers.

Twice I had frayed cables even when installed by LBS. I was told by 2
different bike mechanics frayed cables were not uncommon - also I remember
the feel was not as good as direct. YMMV

Travel Agents feel funny and the cable is much more susceptible to
breaking.V-brakes are better in the wet.

I use Sealskinz socks over wool socks in Shimano clipless sandals here in
rainy Vancouver; Showers pass and Rivendell's luxurious bright orange
rainpants ( have been told " You look just like Kraft Macaroni and

Good for you, Patrick. Beams, indeed.

Rivet. The rails are longer than the Brooks. And don't seem to break, like
my Anatomica's. But it feels similar to the Anatomica.

I love the Rivet, longer rails too. and I find it beautiful, tho the B17 is
my 2nd favorite.

I ride in a lot of rain a lot lof days. I wear clipless Shimano sandals
over Sealskinz socks over thick wool socks. The Sealskinz don't provide
warmth and get kind of wet thru eventually. Sometimes I have 2 pairs of
socks, change my shoes, socks at work. The sandals have adjustable velcro
strap

I too like the Spurcycle and no, it doesn't strike by itself over rough
terrain. However I like the Lion bell better, larger and the striker
doesn't strike by itself, nice sound, expensive but good quality.I use the
2 of them for a dichotomous rhapsody.

Bellworks England; by far my favorite. I think you an get it from
amazon.uk. The Spurcycle and Lion reside on different sides and provide
eloquent dichotomy

I like the Spurcycle. But I LOVE the brass Lion bell from England. I like
good bells; they have a mystical history
