I'd love it if we could buy back issues of BQ on CD-ROM, like the Riv Readers.
Speaking of Riv Readers: If anyone wants to trade their Riv Reader CDs for my
stack of paper ones, email me.
I've got #1 through 38.

tire pressure based on weight tire size similar to the chart you
previously ran? That would be a wonderful tool to have on the website.

not.

I'm curious about the spreadsheet, too. Send it on!
One of the lessons from testing tires was that the exact right
pressure is not that important on bikes. It does seem to matter on
automobile/truck tires, ruining gas mileage and overheating the tire
causing spectacular explosions at highway
I'd like a copy as well. Seeing as there are two scales in my house, I can
actually get on the bike with one under each wheel and get a good
assessment. Being heavy, I've always pumped my tires to the max on the
tire's sidewall, but now that I'm riding wider tires, I wonder if that is
the right

The Schwalbe Marathon Supremes have a max recommended pressure of 85 psi.
That seems to be irrespective of the size (I have the 35 on the AHH and the
50 on the Bombadil). I end up pumping the rear one to about 80 and the front
one to about 70, and then pretty much don't pump them again for a month
I use the expanded on on Philip's blog, and that's what got me thinking.
I've already figured out my weight and distribution in order to use, but
switch tires around so much. Was thinking a little calculator would be
pretty straight forward, and now it looks like it is. Thanks Philip!!!

My Spring BQ came packed with a very shiny GB rim, thanks Jan.

My suggestion would be that BQ articles on new bikes and
equipment have an associated online archive of color photos.
The online full-color archives already exists:

I thoroughly enjoy BQ exactly the way it is. I hope it continues for

Rivendell Reader, they are reference materials - and I treasure them.
Looking forward

I bought all the back issues of both the Rivendell Reader (alas, on
pdf, but I recently discovered Staples.com prints and binds pdfs...)
and all the back issues of BQ, and it's been a real education, and not
once have I regretted the cost. I remember some early online essays
that Grant wrote, and
Oh, and I like the recent tendency to post a lot on the Rivendell

Amen to that. And when will we get some more ride reports as in the earlier
issues, as the PBP tandem story?
It has too much technical esoterica for my taste.
FWIW.
Not much, no doubt.

IMHO the BW has a certain niftiness that color just doesn't have.
Don't sweat it.

I also love the charm of getting a BQ in the mail but I still have to
disagree. Bike porn is better in color. In particular, I saw color
pictures online of the Toei that was reviewed in BQ and I felt that
the printed black and white photos really failed to convey the
loveliness of the bike.
