Great route. Lots of little towns, which makes it easy to travel light. Plus, you'll be riding all the best parts of it. If you end up riding through Nehalem, stop at Buttercup for THE BEST chowder on the Oregon coast. Each serving is made fresh with super unique flavors. Gluten free and vegan

Hey, Andrew- Nice looking Bombadil! I have the Raceguard G-ones that are sold on the riv site. I really like them on dry roads and gravel. Haven't really ridden anything else on them, but I hear they don't do well in wet conditions. They feel really fast and comfy. They eat up a ton of road

I've been using a cheapo tool to cut cables and housing forever, but it's always a clunky process that results in frayed cables and/or frustration. I hate cutting housing so much that I just left my housing way too long when I recently changed my shifters. Just did a quick search to see what's

I'd rode my new medium without a support and found that it would start rubbing when I hit bumps after a while when loaded. I have a 62cm Appaloosa prototype and I thought I'd have plenty of room with my saddle height and big frame. Guess not. Here's a picture of it loaded where it looks like

ascpgh: It's a Microshift Mezzo long cage derailleur. There is definitely some play in the pulleys, so I might start by replacing those. But I almost think that if I'm going that route I'll just get a new rear derailleur. The Altus seems like a pretty low cost test. On Friday, June 16, 2017 at
