[RBW] Re: MTB Hunqapillar questions

[ted]

I really like the bullmoose I’ve got on my bombadil, and think it would be 
great on a hunqapillar mtb too.

Yes, I've been looking closely at the jones bar (my wife is getting a Jones 
Spaceframe so we can start exploring more trails together). The adapter 
requirement seems ugly and complicated though. I think wavie is the way to 
go.

Thanks

[RBW] Re: MTB Hunqapillar questions

[Chris L]

For the kind of mountain biking a Hunqapillar can handle, the Jones Bar is 
hard to beat.  The angle is perfect and the 710 mm version has a ton of 
hand positions you can use, depending on riding conditions.  Also, the 
Jones bar is the most confidence inspiring bar I've ridden.  My Hunqapillar 
felt good with a regular MTB bar but it feels much better with a Jones 
Bar.

I concur with Patrick the Deacon about bars with a Wavie-ish sweep for 
singletracking, I don't think the 'straight back at you' style of Boscos works 
well there. A Jones Loop is another alternative.

Re: [RBW] What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

[Will]

That fact was what convinced me to use Pitlocks in addition to an Abus 
mini-U. I figured it would be difficult to get the wheels off and more 
difficult to sell a bike that had a locked wheel set.

If it's going to be "extremely expensive" anyway, if the standard color is

Re: [RBW] Re: What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

[John Phillips]

   If there are racks or fenders bolted to the dropouts on the front of a 
Riv, the Abus Nutfix won't fit, it's diameter is too large. Similiarly, the 
Nutfix won't work on forks where the dropout is too close to the tube of 
the fork.

   I had the opposite problem with Pitlocks and my Hunqapillar: the plate 
of the locking nut where it contacts the fork is smaller than the plates 
you find on quick release skewers and the even the opposite plate of the 
Pitlock. When tightened correctly, I saw the fork was actually bending the 
skewer of the Pitlock. It didn't look strong enough to defeat even a simple 
blunt force hammer attack, and I felt queasy riding on a front wheel where 
the skewer didn't look like it had a strong hold on the fork. 

Maybe I was being overly cautious and paranoid, that's sort of my 
normal state of mind, but here in the East Bay, hills and pot holes and 
bike thieves follow me everywhere.
