[RBW] Re: New Dynamo Wheel Day

2022-05-13 Thread Peter Adler
The IQ-X is 100 lux (or is it lumen? I'm too lazy at the moment to look it 
up); the IQ-XS is 80 whateveritises.

For brake lights, if you have the ability to mount a wider light, the B&M 
Toplight Line Brake Plus is awesome. It detects stopping motion and 
brightens the taillight, in an effect similar to a car's taillights pulsing 
as you press down on the brake pedal. In the four or five years I've used 
one, I've had motorists pull up next to me at stoplights and thank me; 
cyclists have pulled up from behind and asked me where I got it (Peter 
White Cycles, as an upgrade to my Toplight Line Plus when PJW was replacing 
my damaged Luxos U under warranty. Rivendell's had the Brake Plusses in the 
past, but I think they're still out of stock).

Very nice photos, Takashi! I especially like the one of the river. There 
are so many beautiful rivers all over Japan, and I imagine the water in 
that one is still quite cool for swimming. Is this in Nagano prefecture? 
Perhaps I'll have a weekend soon to come out and explore the area. 

Cheers,
John

[RBW] Re: Loaded touring weight distribution

2022-05-13 Thread dougP
Lynn:

Regarding front pannier racks, Tubus makes excellent gear.  Their Tara rack 
has some sittings that allow it to be attached to a fork with no front rack 
mounts, which are not always on an Atlantis.  I had my Atlantis fork 
modified for rack mounts & have had zero problems.  HOWEVER, this practice 
is STRONGLY discouraged by Rivendell.
