every bike i own and repacking saves the day. 10k miles on one pair, 8k on
another, 5k on the third. Did a round of rebuilds 2 years ago.
getting ready to replace the 8k pair. they're on my touring bike and I
thoroughly trash them and haven't had the time to rebuild of late so i've
been solving
Used for a few hundred miles. Insertion marks but otherwise nearly
new.
$30 including CONUS shipping.

Hi Rex:
I had trouble removing the gray plastic dust cap on my pedals. I just
drilled a tiny hole in the dust cap and use it as a port to squirt in
grease with a grease gun. I squirt until I see clean grease coming out on
the crank side. I do this about once a year or so. It works well.
That's great idea Jay but how do you seal up the hole after you're done? I
used some old ski p-tex (sp?) to seal up the holes in mine but wonder if
our hot summer is melting it away.

I've been using the Schwalbe Marathon Mondial in 26x2.0 lately. After a
fair bit of favorable experience with the similar but substantially lighter
Marathon Extreme, I was skeptical about why Schwalbe would replace it with
the heavier Mondial, but i threw caution to the wind and tried it.
Put this on my Hunq, realized i need a derailer that can wrap more chain.

It's this one, I believe:

Hey Scot,
Everything from the paint up is nearly frivolous and unimportant. I mean,
the difference. There is beauty in low-brow, and it's hard to talk about it
with precision, because there are so many other associations that lead you
astray. Even low-brow, although we all know what you mean.
The tight kickstand/cable clearance on my wife's Kona is a bit closer than
a pinch or a rub... http://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/7604199554/ It's
been fine for several years with this big-a-notch. If you're worried about
compromising the strength of the kickstand plate, rather than a
Morning,
We have no plans to make other size Rock 'n Road tires at this time.
We could make 650B tires if we had about 1000 pre orders to cover the costs
- but at this time we don't have any .
We do have the 700 x 43mm folding models in stock for immediate shipping.

Nice. That notch is awesome
Cripler, with the small amount of rubbing you could consider either filing
it down or removing the black plastic pieces and wrapping the chainstays
with some rubber from some old tubes. That would lower the top plate enough
to not rub. Just be careful and don't
Ok. So it looks as though it may be time to get a little crafty. I think I
can manage to dremmel out a notch...i'll have to take a look and see I'll
have enough space to solve the issue. andy - my issue looks more similar to
what you were facing, so I have some hope. Stephen - I thought
I believe it was Jim Thill who made a comment a while back about how he
loves when a nice bike has some less-nice components or accessories. I
agree. The tragedy is a bike that's 10 years old and is still new. I've
seen FS posts like that on the list here a couple times... Somebody buys a

Thanks for the wisdom everyone. I do love my bike to an almost embarrassing
degree, and I show it by turning its pedals 7 days a week and giving it care
when the need arises. It's nice to see the if money was no object version,
though; gets the gears in my head turning for my Sam's long future
That deco Trek-o is looking good. I'd say that's a nice find with a little more
style than a comparably priced new frame like a Saga or a LHT.

As it worked out, the ExOfficio boxers, LL Bean short shorts, LL Bean cool
weave trail shirt (seersucker), and wool long sleeve underneath (just on the
second day) were an absolute joy for the whole 200+ miles of the STP. Thanks to
everyone who weighed in. I couldn't have been happier with the
Agree, but make sure you get a measurement on the tire clearance front
and rear. Maybe the GTBC had things dialed in by '83, but some early
examples have weirdly tight clearances, often at the seat stay bridge.

Yep, IME the '82 and '83 500, 620 and 720's will all max out at the
chainstays with a Pasela 700x35 (i.e. 700x32 max if you want fenders).

a ride with me. I wanna check out that new Riv.

Yeah I know what you mean but the rubber would give me than the cloth bar
tape. Either way do what you think will work =).
As much as I don't like kickstands aesthetically it has been fairly
convenient when commuting to work.

Too bad the seller of the pumpkin on eBay did not take the opportunity
to crimp the chainstays / alter the brake bridge for better
clearances... would have been perfect.

RE: kickstand convenience... I went on an organized ride recently. Of the
60 or so bikes, mine was the only one with a kickstand. I'd stand 'er up
right in the middle of all the leaning/laying bikes. I think someone
commented at each of the 4 checkpoints and at the start/finish.

Interesting idea. While riding home listening to the clicking I was
thinking about how convenient the needle injector ports on my Sppedplay
Frog pedals were. If dust caps aren't too expensive, I might experiment
with the idea and a small screw to re-seal them.

I jumped on a crazy deal but have changed my mind. Before returning it I
thought I would try and pass the deal on to someone here. I personally
deliver in Seattle :)

I have an 84 Trek 620 and have had an 83. The fork crown will only clear a

rake and blade length had a negative impact on an otherwise excellent road
bike.

From your picture it looks like it's the head of the bolt that is rubbing.
That's tricky to notch. An Allen head bolt will be smaller in diameter
but a hair taller in stack height. That might clear it with no notching
necessary

Had a nice tire swap meetup this AM with Jason and got to check out his
beautiful blue Ram. Out for a walk a few mins ago and a nice AHH cruised
past me on Parker in Berkeley.
RBW does great blues.

Didn't Grant mention in a Blug post a while back something about a

and predrilled for spikes.
I had some problems with clicking MKS Sneaker pedals but I don't think
with the Grip Kings. I've really grown to love the Grip Kings
seems like a good reason to buy a new frame

Now that's funny. funnier than Secret Option 3: install it on my Quickbeam at
any rate. :^)
It looks like the AHH already has a Ritchey crank of its own. I'm kind of
interested to see if one of those come up for sale, but they look too long.

Hey Andy...I have the Bell Metro and it seems okay. In this heat I
often just ride without since I do quite a bit of hill climbing and I am
heavy as you know so heat management is more important to me. Don't want to
