I like my AHH for my rando rides - I have it all set up, but still ride a
lot of commute miles on it. The farthest I've done so far is 200k, but
have a goal to get a 300k in this year. I'm doing the slow but sure method
of increasing mileage, and can't imagine a 600/1200k yet! I agree with
I would second everything Garth wrote. I have had great success with Mavic
rims over the years. I also have a set of daVinci 26 rims (see davinci
designs) on our tandem. The V shape is very strong and these wheels have
held up amazingly well under the 400+ lbs of weight on a touring tandem.

pinned with his hand-forged square nails.

The Sun and Mavic rims are both great - the used cyclocross tubular set I
got from Patrick attests to that (and the American Classic hubs are
amazing). My buddy's Dahon came with a set of Kinlin 23mm rims on American
Classic wide flange hubs - I think this is the nicest wheelset I've ever

HI all,
I'm looking for a new pair of shorts and I wonder if anyone's used both and
could comment on how they compare. I've worn baggies for years but never

they're sturdier--the baggies have thinned out over the years and

No advice on the MUSAs -- the only MUSA shorts I used were the original
ones that were too tight, short, and too low rise; the new ones I hear are
a lot baggier -- but I can advise that good quality, roomy-cut, khaki
cut-downs make wonderful riding shorts -- better than the Ibex non-lined
shorts

Thanks for all the positive feedback. As for the question as to which Riv
bike makes the best brevet bike. I think that will change with the rider. A
rando friend does all his brevets on an Atlantis. I have the A.H.H. and
I've seen others. I think the bigger issue is the fit. After 200K Fit and

I have the Baggies and the old and new MUSA shorts. The Baggies are shorter,
more form fitting, and don't have a gusseted crotch. I use them for everything

better mostly because of the length and gusseted crotch. I have

Aluminum, steel? It is the black part where you clamp the cable.

It isn't Allen. Torx?
