Eric - I've viewed the photo of your Cyclone GT as closely as possible. It
appears to be completely identical to the short cage Cyclone that I have
available, the only difference being the lengths of the derailler cages.

Thanks all! I have heard from several people now, here and outside the
forum, who have suggested bending a new tab. I saved the spring so I'll
give that a try.

I ride Tektro 559s with my AHH and with my former 650b Ram. I also think
they are great brakes. I ride on fire trails and some single track, but in
no way would beat mountain bikers going down hill. I can't say I remember
letting it fly too much except down Old Springs Trail near Tennessee

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'll check them all. Actually, I did check
Ruthworks since I've owned at least 3 of his seat wedges -- yes, very well

Hello RBW bunchers,
Found a pair of forgotten small Rivendell/Sackville Trunksacks in the back
of my closet, can't see myself using these much in the future after
switching up my rack setup, so hoping they'll find a new home where they'll
get a bit more action than they saw under my watch.

Dirt Drop mountain bikes are currently at a resurgence. The number of

started making the the dirt drop probably cemented its return. I have
