I appreciate everyone weighing in!
As expected I haven't received any interest in a sale or trade, so I looked
into running the M1 on the rear and it seems like it will suffice for the
time being. I'll have a better idea of it's functionality as time goes on
but it seems promising, especially
Another vote here for Sugar Wheelworks. I build my own wheels, but started
down that road when former owner Jude Kirstein taught me how in a class at
Sugar. They're now part of Breadwinner Cycles, and the go-to source for
quality hand-built wheels in Portland.
Regarding rear hubs, I have 2
I had this very problem, and the cable head eventually freed with
persistent prodding with an awl. A search on the Triathlon forum showed
others had the same issue and soaking the cable in lube/oil/WD40 overnight
seems a good idea.
Try a pick. Worked for me on old Simplex stem shifter with likely original
cables from 70’s.

+1 for a trailer. One advantage of a trailer is that you can use it with a
bike that is not well suited for a heavy load on the rear rack; and I
agree, they don't change the handling and feel of the bike as much as a big
and high rear-rack weight does. And they allow easier mounting.
Mine was a

A trailer is the safest option. If you go that route I would consider a
Thule or older Chariot (these can be had very inexpensively). They have
weight adjustable suspension and you can use an infant sling. The general
age recommendation is to wait until 12-18 months but we certainly started

Hi Kushan,
Oh, I so know that excitement you feel about introducing your baby to
biking. It’s wonderful that you want to share it and it will be such a
bonding experience between the both of you as he grows up.
Is the plan to put him in a bike seat on your bike? Or in a cargo bike? In

I'm trying to remove a shift cable from a Silver bar end shifter. The head
is stuck and I can't get it out. Any tips? Otherwise I'll need to drill
it out.
Thanks in advance.

I had a very positive experience with the Thule Yepp Mini front-mounted
seat for ~9 months to nearly two-years-old. It pairs well with sweptback
bars like Choco and Albatross, though I also used it with Wavie bars. We
definitely started before age one, no problem. I ride big bikes, so
A month or so back, I also started looking for a Nitto R10 (for the Swift
Zeitgeist on my Sam). I put a line out on the FB Rivendell Buy Sell Trade
group, and ended up snagging a used one. About the same time as I listed
that inquiry, I reached out to Mack’s Bike and Goods in Evanston, Illinois
I'm good now. Thanks.

Rich had some sort of surgery a little bit ago and is pretty backed up with
orders and wheels for Rivendell builds. I have been in the queue for awhile
with full knowledge that there would be a wait. Health wise I believe he is
doing OK.

The burrito does look like it has a concave shape side-to-side. But,
realistically, you just need something to stabilize the bag - not support
it with a full "platform," right? This does cuts into tire or fender
clearance though, i suppose. It does NOT seem to have the angled-up part
