I've been thinking about putting either Sackville Panniers or Frost River

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Absolutely no consensus here but I think
the hand space issue on drops could be compelling. Cecily, could you post

Hi Kip,
I haven't tried that specific combo, but I have used Ortlieb panniers on a
Tubus rear rack, with my large SaddleSack sitting on top. It worked fine in
terms of everything being securely attached etc., but there was zero access
to the contents of the panniers without removing the
Hey Kip,
Yes. See here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/9725707307/.
Does it limit access? A bit, but not practicably. As the Large Saddlesack
sags its wings, I have to lift it up to get things in and out, but that's
not much of a bother, and when I use them, I only put stuff in them

I pulled this old thread up because I've become a huge fan of these tires,
both tubular and clincher. Velomine has a huge inventory of these now and
is selling them for about 2/3 of retail if you call them. They have good
buys listed on ebay, but will beat that on the phone.

Matt, we're so glad you had a good time. Too many riders skip the dirt
roads of VT, many of which are super for riding on. Even are local riding

Hi, Tim
I'm about the same size as you. I ride a 60cm Hillborne and a 64cm
Quickbeam, which both fit great. I had a 21 late-'80s Stumpjumper for a
while, but ultimately it was just too small for comfortable 'round-town
riding. Then I found virtually the same bike in a 23 size, and that's
I always liked the way this bike looked:

I heard on the SF Randonneurs group that there is a Shimano Road Disk Brake
caliper recall. The CPSC has a page for it:

The Logo is VG. The catch: it is missing one strut, $10 shipped from
Wayne at The Touring Store dot com. But I think a straight swap is
fair since it is also a more expensive rack.
I ordered another strut but managed to lose it. If I find it, I'll
include it if you, dear swapper, will pay my

I run a Shimano Ultegra BE shifter on a Paul's Thumbie, on my 1x9spd
riser-bar commuter. It's my preferred system, and works equally well
indexed or in friction. Flawless shifting.
My Ram is running the remaining BE pods, fitted with the spacers from Riv
and Dura-Ace DT shifters mounted. Also
Those trails and back roads look amazing. So much variety in the landscape

Remember that the floor stiffener on your Saddlesack Large is removable.
Maybe you don't need the stiffener when the Saddlesack is resting on top
of the Toursacks, and without the stiffener, lifting the Saddlesack off of

Good tip on the floor. I didn't think of that. I'm thinking more and more
of going with the Frost River panniers. They seem really nice and a less
expensive option.

Ryan, some friends did the Easy Pass/Fisher Creek trails over the weekend.
Unfortunately I wasn't in any shape to join them. The photos they brought
back made me pea green with envy. They said the views were so stunning that
they ran out of adjectives.

If you do decide on the FR panniers, and would like to save some $$$, I have an

ISO 26 touring Wheelset 8/9 speed hub body. I'm on a budget so something
with LX / XT Hubs, Mavic or Velocity rims would be great. Perhaps, you have

I once asked Tony Pereira about drilling a hole in a lug for wiring, and he
said no. Jan Heine has written it up somewhere before, though, and thinks
it's OK if the hole is kept small and deburred. I remember seeing former

I run mine across the top tube down to where the light is mounted on the

It isn't pretty but it's functional. I found that if you can get the cable
fairly taught that it isn't as noticeable.
