I'll answer the second part. This is a very heavily biked area, and most
drivers are aware of it. You won't find a lot of bike hatin' cowboys near

I like the new blug. Makes it easier to find old post and makes it

Also I got to take a picture of the pre-smoked trout before it was
cooked.

invent a nonsense name) and were made in Taiwan.
Availability issues, I think, led to Waterford-made orange Hillbornes, which

I heard about that. Very sad.
The one thing that we often seem to forget, though, is that there's quite a
risk in the two hour drive to get to RBW in the first place!
Thanks for the concern and reminder to be careful...

Patrick,
It is definitely too far at 2 cm above sadle height. I tried it and
put it right back to 5 cm above.
Looking back at my OP, I should have explained better.
I am trying to decide between a 9 cm stem at the current height and an
8 cm stem at 2 cm above.
How can I know (or guess well)

One problem with them is that they don't support heavy, lopsided
loads; I found a cheap Greenfield rear-dropout kickstand worked better
for off-center, heavy rear loads.
