Same here. I gave up the diapers two years ago with my first B-17 saddle on a
new Bleriot. That was in early October of '07 and did the Claxton Century in
November. Not a problem. Plain old cotton skivvies and whatever loose fitting
pair of shorts I have. Haven't worn diaper shorts since.
I usually wear the MUSA green shorts (which are excellent) w/ the
hanes or icebreaker product. But for longer rides, these are pretty
good: http://www.andiamounderwear.com/

If I want a padded liner (like when breaking a new Brooks - but not a Selle An
Atomica) the Zoic units from their MTB line are hands down better than the
Andiamo, which I also have a sample of.

I rode my 65cm Hilsen through last year's brevet circuit. While I
never carried a rear rack or panniers, I often carried a large
handlebar bag (similar to the Ostrich bags) on a marks rack up front.
The bike and baggage performed flawlessly. However, I've always had a
bit of front wheel shake
Since when can you order heftier tubing on a Hilsen? Like the Rom, Ram, Luki,
Beam, and new Taiwan projects, I thought all the details were set in stone by
RBW, except paint, which might be available at an upcharge (if they approve of
the color)
From: Bob H.
I ordered my Hilsen when they were still being produce at Waterford,
so they apparently had some flexibility, especially with the tubing.
It was a slight upcharge. I'm pretty sure the standard tubing would
handle my brevet loads, but I wanted something that was a little
beefier for light touring
Curious if anyone of you have mounted albatross bars upside down. I
had to do this on my Atlantis like clone. I did not want to cut my
steer tube short in case I wanted to change later but I wanted to
duplicate a position I had on a converted mountain bike since it was
so comfortable.not aero
Anyone know the approx circumference of the Jack Browns on a Mavic
Open Pro? I need to program an odometer, but don't have a ruler handy.
Thanks.

Four riders starting at from disparate points in SoCal, converging on
Crystal Cove/El Moro State Park. I railed to Irvine and then rode west and
south with Doug. We discussed the secret knowledge of OC which is pretty
cool, then
Nice looking setup! I presently ride a competing brand with a
threadless stem and currently have the bars set fairly close (9cm
stem) so I need a 12cm stem with about a 105 degree rise to get them
where I need them. I love the cork grips and when the grips are closer
to you and not even that
Just a side note, the Waterford blue is different than the Toyo blue.

How different?!
I've seen the Toyo ones and couldn't tell that they were different from
my Waterford frame. But I didn't have my bike with me to compare
side-by-side.

No shim necessary, at least not on the old classic Dia-Compe levers, just
tighten away!
A good position occurs where the outside of the lever and the outer part of
the bar handle form a line parallel with the top tube - helps to lean agains
a wall, in the absence of a nice Pletscher kickstand.
My Waterford Hilsen blue is a slightly lighter shade (but not as light as
powder blue) compared to the Toyo darker stronger blue I've seen. Sorry I can't
describe more exactly, but it looks really good, and I prefer it personally.
Maybe Riv can enlighten as to whether this is still the case.
I have what may be a stupid question about Paselas. When people say
they prefer the non tourguard Paselas, does that mean the steel bead
Paselas?

No, they're referring to the Kevlar belt that is under the tread for
flat protection. The TG tire is available in both folding and wire
bead models.

I think maybe I wasn't clear. I know that the tourguards are the
folding kevlar models, but people say they prefer the non-tourguards.
From what I can tell the only other option is the wire bead model. Or
is there some other model I don't know about? Thanks!
On Jun 28, 9:18 pm, Jim Cloud
Sorry, but I need to refine the reply that I gave to your thread. I
believe that you're correct, the non-TG model of the Pasela does
have a steel wire bead. Only the TG model is available as an Aramid
bead folding model (in addition to a steel bead model).

When I say that, that's exactly what I mean.
Any difference between Pasela's and T
-serv's. Thinking of getting T-serv's in 35. Anyone have experience
with both?

The Velo Orange support is well made and well designed, and costs
about $45 and clamps to the seatpost. I use it for the Nelson on my
29er, and it works well.

We had a great time. One-night bike camping, where you begin at your
door, is something more people should do. Dustin and I noticed how
people seemed to waved at us and started conversations about our
tour. Some people seemed surprised that we weren't coming down from
Canada or from the East
