I've gotten out for a few rides already, but hope to go on a longer one today. So far, I am shocked at how much lighter the Saluki is over my Atlantis. While weight isn't a terribly significant factor for me, I expected them to be the same. It is nice to have lighter bikes when I have to

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

I agree. And then, there's the issue of the cable having to match the fitting on the actuation device. At the brake, of course, it's held by a pinch bolt, but at the lever it's a made-on end that fits a receptacle in the lever. But the important thing is, this has been done since time

They are nice tires, and if I did't have the 559 Compass Elk Pass available, I'd be using the 559 X 1.35" version on the 2003. (I use the 406 bsd version on the Hon Solo.) They are one of the very few tires I've used that roll *pretty* well, yet that can be ridden here in goatheadland without

Ha! Isn't it amazing how different the bikes feel? I was also surprised by the difference between my Hunqapiller and Quickbeam, both unloaded. I've settled into a pattern of always leaving my panniers on the Hunqapillar, so the difference "unloaded" is even greater. Yet the difference in time

As I've been doing some research on the subject, it's apparent that this is just how people have been setting up their drag brakes forever, at least as far back as I've been able to research, which is several decades. Remember, it's not that you have to press hard to stop the bike, you just need
