Getting the right bag is a fun (and often expensive!) game. It's like
purchasing multiple purses, one too big, one too small, fashionable,
practical, waterproof, lightweight, not too expensive, but not cheap or

Thanks Ed, email me off-list. Your wheels sound fantastic. They might be
slightly too awesome for what we plan to use them for. But email me and let

Before I purchase a new set, anyone have something for sale?
My wife rides her RB-1 every day and I'd like to step up to a 650b dynamo
front and 130 spaced rear.
I'm open to a straight trade for a 700c wheelset as well. I'll put a post
on the 650b site as well for good luck.
Thanks!

Too funny.
Indeed, this is why I put a beef jerky outer sleeve on the left side of
that little brevet bag I make. No joke.
And yes, I too have been dropped by everyone, on every type of bike.
Good job Manny,

Does anyone know the tubing specs?

Is that just a regular road bike with a rack mounted to it with P-clamps?
I really like that.
Any wobbling? or criticism?
I really want to try that with my steel road bike, putting a small/medium
rando bar bag in the front.

The F15 is beautiful and well made, but I agree, it will only fit one bag,
unless you make a bag.
A traditional rack with P clamps on the legs would be more stable, let the
weight sit lower, and will allow you to use any bag you want.
The rear tang can be bent down to fit a road caliper.

I was thinking of using that rack on a road bike without braze ons.
Any issues with it? Using the p-clamps?
i would use a small/medium handlebar bag on 200k's with that set up.

tires.
So road geometry.
The rack is on sale

In the town of Mill Valley, there's a nice cafe with baked goods and
coffee, in the town square- I like to stop there in the early morning
on a ride. across the street is a full grocery store and deli, good
for lunch sandwiches. Tons of pizza places, and such, all in across
from the town square.
in your comment about the shifter bolt loosening when you shift past
the last gear-
if you put a longer M5 mounting bolt for the shifter all the way
through the rack hole, then put a washer and locking nut, would it
help prevent the shifter from coming loose when you shift past the
last gear?
We use 1.75's x 20 on our bike friday tandem.

Any fully loaded bike is going to be a challenge to ride, you just
have to get used to it.
The smaller wheel size is the same, you have to get used to it.
Excellent explanation Jim.
