My helmet is a Bell Metro, which has a small brim which keeps a lot of the

I'd say that your mechanic is kind of right in that brake shudder can be
magnified by long reach brakes, thanks to the flex inherent in the longer
brake arms, but the long arms are not necessarily the cause. Shudder is
caused by irregularities in braking force--which cause the brake pads to

Sorry, no captions yet, but here are photos from today's Pt Reyes 200K.
Highlights of the ride included meeting Manny Acosta (!) and seeing pretty much
every kind of Rivendell ever made (the Quickbeam being a notable exception).
Sounds like you had a wonderful ride. What were the temps like? Looked cold.
Nice Rambouillet! I hope to have a blue Rambouillet one day.

My lovely silver 66cm Quickbeam had been sitting pretty much unused since
last October when I took delivery of my new 62cm Hunqapillar. There was
nothing wrong with it, but somehow it gets hard to get off a new bike.
But it wasn't right. I still loved the QB. I just needed a good excuse.
