Nate,
Love the leopard fleece blanket. Riv'ers know how to travel in style!
Don't sell that Atlantis, you'll regret it. Or sell it to a friend who will
sell it back to you once you've come to your senses.

How did you loose the cage?? The bottle is kept so tight in the cage I've
got to really yank it to get it out, so I don't think strips are needed for
that reason. Did your cage screws back out and the whole thing fell off?

Curious how they would compare to my 55 Big Bens, so I ordered a pair.
About $38 each.

Didn't seem worth starting a new thread for this, but whoa! Just saw
this on a news feed: 1,000,000 trek bikes recalled due to compatibility
problems between quick releases, disc brakes (and carbon forks?), leading
to rider paralyzation!

Bleriot and Atlantis are 8-speed friction.

I have had a couple setups where the 4 tooth spread with the Dingle cog was
matched by a 4 tooth spread in the rings, so the axle position stays almost
the same in high gear and low gear. Mostly that was for my OCD (and fender
line).
The Quickbeam as shipped had an 8 tooth spread in the rings

Compass sells three types of Decaleur:

triangular wedge nut on them. Like the Pearl, the new N.P., and Technomic

Thanks for all the replies. They are all helpful. I have had an Arkel HB

Why are decaleurs specific to pearl technomic stems? Don't they have the
same horizontal bolt?

Bobby,
I too was somewhat frustrated by the precision of several of the methods.
The less precise method I use that works fine is an inverted one (I was ok
with the method in the aeropress instructions but it uses a lot of coffee
beans).
I invert the areopress put the plunger at about the 2;
Berthoud also makes their decaleur mount for threadless and vertical bolts

Horses for courses. I like the VO headset-mounted decaleur because it
works for me and it's *cheap*. I've *never *had a bag come off, but then I
use the rack's tombstone as well. But the adjustment *is *very limited; if
