[RBW] Re: Are P clamps supposed to do this?
If you're mounting the p-clamp on the tapered part of the fork, you may not be getting enough grip for the clamp to work effectively.

[RBW] Re: Microshift thumbies?
Surly uses those shifters on the Pugsley. My friend Ron has a Pugsley and still raves about the shifters.

[RBW] Re: Advice: crank arms less than 165mm
Contact Mark Stonich, Bikesmith Design and Fabrication in Minneapolis, MN. at http://www.bikesmithdesign.com. He modifies cranks to 85mm to 160mm lengths. His main clients are recumbent riders, but these cranks will also work for upright bicycles. Here's an information page about short cranks. http://bikesmithdesign.com/Short_Cranks/crank-questions.html I'm sure that with Mark's experience he can recommend something suitable for your wife.

[RBW] Re: Heart's broken, Hunq headbadge fell off.
Too bad about the head badge. Clear silicone caulking works very well. A dollop on the back of the badge is all you need. hNg the bike from a hook so that the head tube is rather horizontal while the silicone cures.
