do you have on there?

I have an extra set of Tioga grip studs and I just bought some Grip
King Pedals, and I was wondering if any of you all know what tools/
procedures are necessary to get the studs to thread into the GK holes.
I saw a hand - drill mentioned on RBW's website, but I do not know
what that is.
So
Already sold. This post was delayed in the system before it appeared on the

Hi
Anyone on here planning on a longish day ride out of NYC before it
gets cold?
I'm interested in riding up to Blue Mountain in Peekskill or maybe
putting the bikes on the train to get out of the city then riding
up...
generally i'd like to ride north of the city in some foothills...see a

I have a friend who is seriously considering purchasing a Hillborne
for his next bike. His only hesitation is committing to 650B given the
fact that he tends to hang on to bikes for a long time. His specific
concern is the availability of tires,tubes,wheels several years from
now. I know there
I think a good question for him to answer for himself is how he currently
gets parts for his bikes. If he uses mail-order, there will always be a way
to get 650b consumables. If he currently gets off the shelf parts from his
LBS, he may not comfortable w/ the 650b size.
Another alternative is
Good rubber tires kept in a cool dry place will remain good as new for
decades. If he is real worried all the manufacturers making these
tires will stop, I suggest buying 3 or 4 sets and storing them
somewhere. A good set of tires well maintained should last you at
least 3 or 4 years (my eldest
He could always get an extra set of rims to hold onto and an extra set
of those Schwalbe tires like Rivendell sells, they'll last years. I
ride bigger bikes so all mine are 700c but if I rode smaller bikes I
wouldn't hesitate to go for 650b.

Hi all. I'm looking to improve my winter wardrobe this year. I'm
specifically looking for a jacket and pants that work well for riding
- somewhat trim, zippers for ventilation etc. I live in northern
Michigan (the home of miserable winters) so, realistically, I'll park
the bike when it hits
I suggest a Showers Pass rain jacket with some wool layers
underneath. Their jackets are well ventilated if you want them to be,
but they'll also keep all the wind out and get quite warm inside if
you want that. The wool layers will help keep you dry in case you
sweat inside the jacket.
I agree- at the very least, your friend will be able to mail order
650b rims/tires etc. when needed.
The 650b wheel size has been around for the better part of a century,
so I wouldn't worry too much about it vanishing. Right now
especially, it is gaining popularity after a period of
Considering that the 650B is not a new wheel or tire size and has been
around much longer than the 26inch, I would say he has nothing to
worry about.

I know there are a lot of folks here who ride and love 650B. What
would you say to him to allay his fears? Thanks!
I'm in!
Tomorrow, I'm taking the train to Bronxville, then riding back to the
city. I think it's about a 2 hour ride.

Another one who feels that 650B will probably be around for a long
time.
My caveat - if he rides in winter and uses studded tires, there may be
a problem. However, that is probably a discussion for a different

I usually use a smartwool long sleeve shirt with a Showers Pass Touring
jacket. This is good down to temps of about zero Fahrenheit on my five mile
commute. On my head I can't say enough good things about my Walz wool cap
with earflaps. Under my helmet no problems done to zero.

I want to second the Foxwear recommendation. Lou's stuff can't be
beat for the outer layer. He also sells some fleece type stuff but I
haven't tried that. He will work with you until he gets you exactly
what you want.

OK I am going to swim against the current here and say plastics are
great outdoor clothing. This statement is coming from a 53 yr old
retrogrouch who has played in the mountains and deserts his entire
life. I love my wool sweaters and socks and undershirts. But when it

I would like to add, the XCSporthill pants are expensive at $105. But
once you own a pair, and after years of use they begin to wear and
thin, you will gladly pay it again to replace them. They are
indespensible active winter weather gear for me for the last 13 years.

Layers of wool, thin ones, for me, too. Two are good down to 40, add an Ibex
wool/syntho blend vest down to freezing, add another layer of wool under the
vest down to about 20 or a bit below, if it isn't too windy. Legs: wool
knickers with double cloth in front, and Rick's socks, down to about
Very cool! I have been considering doing this too. Did you have to
