This reminds of Shawshank Redemption movie where Andy asks Red to get him a rock hammer that sells for (at the time) . $7. When Red inquires as to how Andy is going to use it, he replies "you'll understand when you see the rock hammer". With the HZ lockring tool, you'll understand why

Agree with Garth. I bought one, and I'd say $7 is about the right price. On Sat, May 6, 2023 at 4:48 AM Garth wrote: > This reminds of Shawshank Redemption movie where Andy asks Red to get him > a rock hammer that sells for (at the time) . $7. > > When Red inquires as to how Andy is going

I have gone back and forth with the notion of trying an adjustable bottom bracket but haven't quite convinced myself to go there. I don't need one since my Shimano and IRD models have always worked fine. BUT the temptation is there and I'm a sucker for the classic look. Besides riding aren't

I've installed and adjusted many, many cup and cone bbs, from horribly cheap ones that were very hard to adjust for proper tension to top of the line like Suntour GG and Dura Ace that were easily installed with perfect adjustment. It does help to have good tools -- and I've still got an array of

That Atlantis is being sold by Second Cycle, a shop that I used to work at and have a long connection with. I would be surprised if they're measuring incorrectly. I do see that they're listing the seat tube length center to center, whereas Rivendell lists their seat tube lengths center to top.

That's definitely a 58, going by the size of the wheels (700c). They do say they measured 56cm center to center, whereas Rivendell uses center to top. On Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 2:44:24 PM UTC-4 eliot...@gmail.com wrote: > It’s this one. If it wasn’t an hour each way I’d go check it out

I disagree with Garth, I also bought one (to use as a S coupler wrench as well as a BB lockring wrench) -- like the entire H-Z tool line it is not fancy (you'll not mistake it for something from https://www.abbeybiketools.com/ ), but it is decently made, and works well. I's say to me is is

To add another layer to the Atlantis history, does anyone else recall the very first run of them having longer top tubes ? Not prototypes, they were the original run. I recall the number 62cm for a top tube for the (I believe) 64cm frame size, as I was considering buying one in particular
