Thanks y'all. Bill, how does yours climb? I suspect it feels a lot different with the saddle much higher and drops. But that puts you even farther back over the back wheel, so I'm curious whether yours encourages taking it easy uphills also. Patrick, I have a feeling the climbing has a good

I have used Duramas in the past but the clearances are tight hence the desire to try the Sheldon Fender nut. Since a picture is worth a thousand words . This is the back of the brake with the recessed *bolt *that threads directly into it, no nuts involved.

A beautiful example of a bike set up for true "all terrain" riding. Rivendells in general are far more "all terrain" than 99.9% of the bikes out there, then set up with the right tires and bags they become even more so. Your ride looks a lot like mine, with a delicious mix of paved, dirt and

Maybe a silly question, but does the pump peg still function as a pump peg with the cable routing through it? If no, maybe best to use a hacksaw and file to rechristen it vestigial nub? I'm really impressed with the drill job, I'd just worry about unnecessary rubbing coming into play. -Kai BK
