I have a medium shopsack too, for groceries, and I love it.In fact, I
want to get another one- but I notice they aren't on the site anymore.
Where'd they go? I hope they weren't discontinued with the sale (were
they?)! I'd be really bummed if that were the case.

The 559 wheels
Patrick: 26 wheels are a hard sell, probably because road-bike-oriented people
associate them with slow MTBs and cheapo X-Mart bikes. Back when we sold
Atlantises, it seemed like 58cm frames sold better than 56cm by about 10:1 (a
guess). Perhaps RBW has a more accurate ratio. In any case, many
Paul Moto BMX. These are the Paul V brakes without the big scallop. I did
find a set of old Shimano cheapy cantis among my stash that worked (old Altus,
I think) but my Atlantis deserves better.

The Large Shopsack (which is still available) is at least equally useful, and
fits perfectly in a Large Wald basket, a Paul Flatbed, or a Gamoh Cargo Rack,
or on a Platrack. I use mine in all 4 of those configurations.

Thanks for the apercu; that makes sense. But I am glad that at least a
few makers are making truly nice 559 road tires -- I hope the trend
continues. Me, I want a 28 or 30 mm racing tire in 559. But meanwhile,
the Kojaks do pretty well.

Does anyone know of a source for them? My knees are begging me for
this. My frugal nature has me wondering why not just buy a cog and

Hi,
I have a Deore LX Rapid Rise rear derailleur for sale. It's basically
brand new. which means the derailleur has about 20 miles on it and the

Thanks

26 in is just a no go for me, I guess as an old guy it takes me back to the
old mtb days and that is,just not what I was looking for personally. Again
no offense intended but for shorter pbh people who were always awkward on
700c bikes 650b is just awesome.

I tour with a large shopsack in a large Wald basket in back and a
medium shopsack in a small Wald basket in front. (I also use a large
handlebar bag.) Fantastic combination. The load is rigid, and the bags
can be popped out of the baskets in seconds to take into the tent or
the B and B. And, of

Action Tec lists a 36t (also 38 39!) on their website but they are
titanium @ $78 each. You can buy the entire 12-36 9 speed Shimano
cassette from Riv for a lot less ($55 last time I noticed). For your
7 speed, there's a 13-34 standard Shimano cassette.
The bargain option I've used is
Agree with Jim on the pluses of 26 wheels for touring. While I've
never had any problem with the 700s on my 58 cm Atlantis, given my
druthers I'd go 26.
The perception of 26 being slower is not reality. My wife has one
bike with 700 x 28 Paselas, and does not coast downhill as fast as I
do.
Has anyone used these?

I have 60cm LHT with 26er wheels and it's great. It can look a bit ungainly
with the 26s on larger frames if you use skinny tires, but I run 50mm Big

pretty good in proportion to the whole bike.

You should be able to do this.
Not necessarily a longer B screw but your old one put in from the back side.
Search for reversed B screw and you will find some pics.

I've noticed that, while small, light wheels do (at least) *feel*
faster to accelerate they don't *feel* as if they hold their speed as

so nice: more inertial feel. Still, very light

I'm not aware of a source for 36t cogs, since that's not one that wears

and the 7sp 13-34 cassette are not terribly expensive. Even if you could

My Atlantis came stock with 35 mm Paselas. When the rear wore out,
