Hi Jim,
I have used my AHH and Hunqapillar to tow a Burley trailer with kids. Kids
and toys probably weighed 60# or 70# (on the Hunqapillar). For AHH, I only
loaded it with one child-- probably 30#.
There are limitations to trailers and carrying live weight.
The Burley trailer is a
I have used trailers for the last twenty years in some form or another. My
current rig is my Sam pulling a Burley Travoy. This trailer is light and
even when loaded isn't a problem. I love trailers and if I had a dog I
would do the same thing as you. Have fun.

I have some fancy stuff around, Sutherland Welles, but plain old Helmsman
available at hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. is very good spar
varnish. If you buy varnish, you also want to get some kind of inert gas
like Bloxygen (you don't need this with shellac or the U-40 sealant). Pour
yes, beautiful and great idea. i don't use cork grips, but im wondering how
this would work on cloth tape. now i shellack them and while i like the
look and the weather resistance, the hardness is not ideal. have you tried
the spar varnish over cloth?

drew, I've never tried but it should work, and the U-40 should, as well.
Shellac is hard, but Varnish or U-40 will be tough and flexible.

Spar varnish - is this for boat spars, aircraft wing spars, or both?

btw, propane is an inexpensive substitute for Bloxygen, in case you have a
gas grill or camp lantern.

any weathering application of a flexible fibrous material that will absorb
the oils - bamboo fly rods, too - this one was made in 1915
of course the name came from spars on sailing ships

For this price you can get more bike than you'd ever know what to do with in
the Jones Plus. 2.1 max tire seems awfully limiting to me when 3 tires give
you the ability to do real mountain biking and fly down loose gravel descents
with confidence. Pretty MUSA bike though!

i talked to jack kimmes who helped start Kulshan Cycles in Bellingham, Wa.
a few years ago about carrying Riv bikes and rivvish parts and accessories.
Kulshan carried Bridgestone and worked with Grant, and is about as canny as
anyone gets about bicycle retail and business in general.

Racktime (Ortlieb's value line) has a nice collection of racks. The Addit (on
my RIvendell Bleriot) is a wonderful commute rack, but allows for more
adventurous outings. The Standit is a basic rear rack. The Foldit is a rear
rack which folds flat for packing; I used one on my Sweetpea for a

I consulted a friend of mine who is 5'6.5 and she is very happy with the Jones
Plus. To my surprise, she even maxxed out the 250mm seatpost I recommended (and
she's running a 70mm, 0º rise stem, as per Jeff's recc.). She hasn't ridden it
with 29+ tires yet, but on Super Motos she is more than
+1 on racktime. they make nice quality stuff at an acceptable pricepoint.
the clem rack is OK, but racktime is a much better value
i would also say that the nitto big back rack is actually not that much
heavier than most other racks, but adequately heavy duty. i leave one on my
