Hey Jim, I have numbers 12 through 35 as PDFs. I’ve been hoping to share them, but didn’t feel great about doing so without Grant’s permission. I emailed him to ask a while ago, but never heard back. (No surprise, he’s busy!) I’m torn. I’d love to help out and make all these great stories and

Re: [RBW] WTB 65cm Atlantis

Not an Atlantis, but I’ve decided I’m ready to part with my 62cm gray and maroon Hunqapillar. I usually ride a 64cm, but thanks to the very slightly sloping top tube this one fits my 93.5cm PBH quite well. (The Hunqapillar flier recommends this size for 91.5 -100cm PBHs.) This is the original

Re: [RBW] Need Help Diagnosing Weird Handling on my Atlantis

One other thought: In the past, after others have worked on one of my frames or forks, I have had all kinds of spooky handling come down to a headset that either isn't adjusted right or doesn't have enough grease in it. Now, a good shop should have checked both those things, but it might be worth

If you need more cable pull it has already been innovated: https://velo-orange.com/collections/shifters/products/dia-compe-ene-11s-dt-shifters I figure that a bigger barrel will just make the shifter even more sensitive to small movement, though. I've had good luck with Silver V1s and Simplex

Re: [RBW] Fender Mounted Rear Dynamo Light?

I have a dynamo fender mounted tail light on my MAP. Unlike Eric's experience, Mitch was apparently able to get the wire inside the rolled rim of the Honjo fender. Worth noting that this bike uses a SON SL hub and setup, so negative is grounded to the frame and the wire in question is a thin

Good advice, to carry fresh patch glue! Nothing quite like trying to patch and finding the tube has gone solid. On that topic: Has anyone found a way to buy the little Rema tubes that actually fit inside the patch kit? All the ones I’ve found that are sold individually are larger (longer) than

Re: [RBW] Is tube patching a permanent, reliable fix?

I must have installed at least a hundred patches over the years. (I used to run narrow high pressure tires, and used to get more flats.) I've had a handful of patches fail. These generally fall in to one of two categories: - Put the puncture too close to the edge of the patch (to cover a big

I'm happy for the folks here who have had such positive experiences with the SP hubs. I wish I could say the same! My SP SV-9 had significantly more drag than my SON hubs when first delivered. I hoped it would wear in, but it hasn't. Instead, it's gotten much worse. As of this morning my SP hub
