I pack like that too, and if no styrofoam is available I use bubble wrap. Well done. On Sunday, July 17, 2022 at 4:24:08 PM UTC-4 Max S wrote: > It's heading out to get repaired & repainted, just 3.5 hours away, but... > > - Max "let's not talk about how I got this way" in A2 > > [image:

Thanks, all. I'm learning a lot — I had no idea about sacrificial zinc coatings or the difference between plating and galvanizing. I appreciate the explanation, Wesley and Aaron. Aaron, about fenders, I should have said I was installing a *new* set — I've always had fenders on my Hunq. I got

[RBW] Wald basket rusting. Equivalent in stainless steel? Or how to prevent rust?

Has anyone come across a good stainless steel basket around the same size as the 139? I'm not concerned about weight. I love the Wald, but the rusting has gotten too much. Or has anyone successfully treated a new Wald with a clear coat of some sort to mitigate rusting? If so, what did you

I used Albatross for years. Switched last year to Choco bars and feel there is much more room for my hands to roam. I actually had to order from Blue Lug in Japan as Riv was out. As I ordered 2 bars and maybe something else the price with shipping was pretty close. On Sunday, June 12,

Thanks, Doug. Great to hear! Forgive me for asking what might be obvious: where exactly did you apply the Loctite? And how did you gauge the degree of tightness when you screwed the shifter back together? Thanks again. On Sunday, June 5, 2022 at 8:11:58 PM UTC-4 Doug H. wrote: > Hello

[RBW] Re: Clem Smith Jr Update

Hi Doug, thanks for the nice write up. CeeCee looks great! About the Silver2 shifters: I’ve had the same problem of gears slipping. I find that I have to tighten the D ring screw so much to prevent slipping that it makes it hard to move the shift levers. I haven’t thought of using thread lock.
