Cool story and I like the pictures of you, grant and bike and grant
riding your bike. Grant Approved!! Plus I don't know how races are
out in California, but in Ohio you have a huge range of bikes show up
for a race anything from Carbon racers to Huffy 10 speeds with full
racks and bags, so I
So I bought a set of Tektro CR720s from RBW and mounted them on my
Quickbeam. I wasn't happy with the stock Shimano brakes, even with
Salmon pads. I also wanted to road test my new Swobo tights, and
RainLegs (rainchaps). Photo link below.
The brakes: I rode up to Hawk Hill, Marin Headlands

Beth,
Don't you own a green Rivendell with cantilevers...perhaps an All-
Rounder.
I do. It's got drop bars and serves as my long-distance, less-

I came of age when center-pulls were sheap and crappy and did a poor
job of speed modulation (to borrow a term from Jan Heine). I never
got over my disdain for them; and I don't know anyone locally who has
them brazed onto a bike and who might prove me wrong. Altering a frame
is an investment and
I used my Rainlegs (in actual rain) yesterday, atop a pair of wool
Ibex keg warmers. They did a nice job of keeping my legs warm and
reasonably dry, although the 'round-the-leg straps are a tad annoying.

We had a guy come in to the shop a couple years ago to buy some canvas/
leather bags for his all-carbon bike. Seems strange, but you can't
exactly clamp any luggage capacity on carbon seatstays, seatpost, or
handlebar.
Anyway, he told me about his intention to do at least one brevet
series
It's got some cool new features, and we like it a lot.

Would prefer a 20 and silver but will take 28 and black.
Also in market for IQ Cyo switched (senso or not) headlight, the distant
one; Edeluxe considered if discounted for use.
I am still on the fence on deciding between a SON and a DN380, but if I can
find a used and slightly cheaper SON I will
John, thanks for the announcement.
RBW Group Folks, the largest change you'll see is on any given product
page. Here's an example:
http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/musa-rain-pants/22-157
You can now:
• see several images, and read the big description, and see related
products in one screen
I didn't even think of that. The tri world seems so high tech
oriented. It would be awesome to see someone out there rocking a
Huffy. I'll keep an eye out for my steel brethren.

Jim - So good to hear. I was wondering if CX was an option.
I'm looking forward to trying fatter tires eventually. I think the
Ruffy Tuffy's are a great balance. They're 28 at 80 psi. Way more
comfortable than hat I've been riding. I'm keeping an open mind
though.

Don't stop at 28. That bike comes alive with some 40s on it!

This weekend I was finally able to finish installing the Paul Racer
centerpull brakes on my Homer. They replaced the Silver sidepull brakes. I
also switched to Koolstop Thinline salmon pads. While I haven't had a chance
to ride them a lot, so far, with the Shimano R600 brake levers, they feel
Awesome to hear, I'm just starting to see how much variability there
is. Asking the tri folks so far there hasn't been a single person who
was riding or suggesting steel. Hopefully someday I'll be in the happy/
fast/steel ridin' category. Right now I'm 2 out of 3.

Looks really great, John. The updated features make the site much
more functional.

That's really slickI'm only disapointed that I placed an order
yesterday with the old system. Should have waited a day.

Seth,
I switched the low-profile Shimano's to Mafac cantilever on my
Quickbeam shortly after I bought it. IMHO they are wonderful.
High profile cantilievers seem to work well with aero brake levers.
