Cool ride! And cool bike! Boscos! I've been wondering about those 718 trips. Was it a good bunch? I wish we New Yorkers didn't have to get on a train to get to some decent bicycling. If I were you I would go up to a triple if you wanna do lots more long rides like this, but at least a double.

This week I wired a tail light (not fender-mounted, technically, but out on the back of a Tubus rack in more or less the same position). I ran it inside my SKS chromoplastic fenders. I read about this in a few places on the internet, it's not original to me. 1. Ran wire along bottom of down

Called HQ--Will was certain they are the heat treated aluminum. That's cool. Didn't bother to ask what the "TT" inscription means, though. Looks like they've been mounted before, but barely used. Seem to be aligned and in fine shape. Will's theory was that it was due to an angry break-up. My

[RBW] Anyone try the new Fairweather Rain Poncho?

2017-08-07 Thread Bob B
Has anyone tried the Fairweather rain poncho? It looks pretty good; I'm particularly interested in the elastic band that will fit snugly over Alba's AND a Wald basket! Which would be awesome, because my Vaude poncho barely covers my bars and often blows up out of place (it has no elastic).
