I love my showers pass rain jacket but I live in the N.W. where it
rains and the temps are not too cold in winter. I stop riding when it
gets to around 30 degrees. I ride with cotton sweat pants or my Riv
MUSA pants when it gets cold. I also ride in my regular $10.00 Walmart
jeans for rides up to
IMHO a combination of Smartwool base layers and Rapha on top works
really well

I would second Mojo's recommendation of Sporthill XC pants. The
fabric is a very good compromise of wicking, wind resistance, and
breathability. I have an over 10 year old pair that has been heavily
used and hasn't worn out yet. An approach for blocking windchill
without excessive
Until recently I had never had a bike with cantilever brakes so I am
coming to the subject with almost total ignorance. I mounted a set of
IRD Cafam brakes that I got from RBW on a new Surly. The levers are
Shimano Tiagra. My problem is with the front brake. When the

There are spring tension adjusting screws on each arm. They offer
finer adjustment than changing the tension by changing the mounting
hole. These are small screws located just above pivots with the screw
heads pointing out, away from the frame. Try tightening the left side
and loosening

I couldn't get the supplied straddle cable to work to my satisfaction.
I made my own normal cables.
If you look at the photos on riv's site, you'll see they did the same

The Ibex Hybrid Dash jacket with a merino wool base layer (Icebreaker,
Ibex, or Woolywarm, or Bicycle Fixation's Ninja Jersey) keeps me more
comfortable, in the widest range of conditions, than any other
combination I've tried. As an added bonus, it looks a heck of a lot
better than some of the
How is he concerned with the geometry? I have a 62 650B bike that I
think looks rather good, proportionally speaking.

Not sure exactly but he likely be on the edge of needing something
larger than a 60. Not even an option it would seem. Perhaps that's
the issue. I'll ask.

Hi -
We suffered a fire in 2005. In addition to destroying nearly everything in
the house, the fire damaged the finish on a Bianchi Cyclocross frame I had
acquired second hand.
In July, I took the frame to Maas Brothers in Livermore and had it
powdercoated. After Maas Brothers was finished, I
That is a beauty! What pedals are those?
Happy riding.
Cheers!

Good luck. I had the same pblm w ultegra levers and cantis and was
never able to resolve it.
The pblm went away when I replaced the levers with cane creek and
silver be shifters.
Voilà, no more problem. Soon after I replaced the br550 calipers w
paul's neo retros and have been very happy with the
I had the same problem but found it to be the canti mount/post had gotten a
little mashed at the end. Perhaps I overtightened...I don't know for sure,
but I used the dremel on the edge of the canti mount and the problem was
solved. Check to see if it floats as freely as the other side without
Some one else pointed out the folly of waterproof and
breathable. I agree. In my experience, that concept is just pure
fantsay. When it comes to riding hard in the suffering zone, you can
be wet and cold, or wet and warm, but not dry and warm.

The bigger Hillbornes (56 and 60 cm) take 700C, so 650B isn't even an
issue...

Just a quick update on my trip across NC that I posted a QB question
about earlier. I rode the entire state on 32/40x16/18. The first two
days, I rode 32x18 but on the first day on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I
think I probably could have ridden the 40x18 since most of that day
was straightforward
Nice job. Sounds like loads 'o fun.

Hmmm, interesting. I certainly could have looked into that myself but
I thought he already had. He's certainly larger than a 56 so this
whole thing is much ado about nothing apparently. I do appreciate
everybody's advice and opinions on the 650 issue though, as does he.
