I did it on a B68. I used a hacksaw to cut the bolt most of the way
thru to weaken/angle it. Tedious but no great strength required. (and
I used a bolt I got from Wallingford; I highly recommend them as a
source).

It was not uncommon to age tires. I did it myself with tubulars. I
don't want to go back to those days. Glue, unsewing to patch and
resewing, glue again. Tubs are still around as will be 650b in thirty
years. I'll be dead then. I want to ride my 650b's into the sunset.

Hi,
I have all three tires; Hetre, Cypres, and Pari-Moto. The Pari-Moto is lighter
and softer than the other two. It's more like a Vittoria CX, than any other

Mine is - none whatsoever. By that time ('92-'95), I was out of

I do see them out there in the Twin Cities, and appreciate the bike
for what it (and the other

That's quite a collection of nice racks. Be hard to part with any of
