Can you post a few pics of your current setup? It could be that your daruma

I believe it is the best size for the handling and ride we want (I know
others may/will demur, which is ok by me), and as a bonus, and it will also
work better for the travel bike aspect -- 700c wheels are a snug fit in the

Is anyone able to tell me what happened to these?

I tend to devalue individual reviews and instead look at the aggregate average.
This only works with a mass of reviews, however. That way you have the knee

You've discovered drillium, the magic elixir of weight loss. Once you've

If the daruma is too long, you can always shorten it with a dremel after
measuring how much you need to shorten it after positioning the fender
correctly and seeing how much of it extends past the bolt under the fender.
Since you don't seem to have a center bolt brake, you have more

I've used safety pins to attach them to saddlebags panniers, after
cutting of the belt. I keep one with the belt for trips where I rent
a bike. I stocked up on the little ones a while back as the velcro
tabs make them easy to attach to small seat wedges. It would be nice
if the big ones came
I use mine with the belt, but I also bought a whole slew of the spoke reflector
bands. They are Velcroed, and I hang them off the backs of the racks, bags,
etc.
They are very reflective and just as visible as the triangles.

Basically it's a natural footpath with slight varied terrain, from packed

branches to ride over, or walk). I have ridden at least 95% of the Stokes

Although I like the Velcro strap version I got from Riv slightly better, my
LBS (Outfitter in Los Altos, CA) also carries a similar safety reflecto
triangle with the two Velcro straps. I don't know if it's MUSA but it does
appear to be something that they just ordered off their normal catalog.
You can run the straps around the front-under of the saddle and post,
buckle the ends. It works well enough, I think.
The Sackvilles also have the reflectostrip, and then...there's a strap for
a light. I like the big rangles for night and day, tho.
