As of today, here in Boston we've received 101.7 inches of snow, just 6
inches shy of the record for Boston seasonal snow totals. It's snowing
again tonight, with 4-6 inches expected, so we may be setting a new record
tonight...
I would love to be able to send all this stuff to California.
Are you located in Australia? Please advise.

That's a big difference. I remember a blog entry from Grant awhile back where
he mentioned shortening the grips. I think it was something to do with making
more room available for the grip portion in front of the brake lever on the
Bosco bar.
I've got the originals which are still holding up.
We had hail earlier today. In California, that qualifies as Biblical.

I would bend the rack legs a bit to tip the rack up. Straighten them a bit
at the midpoint where there is a distinct kink in them, then bend the whole
legs back just a bit where they meet the rack. This combination will make

The Tektro's adjusters are all metal, versus the hybrid metal-plastic piece
