[RBW] Re: front or rear rack?

Jack, I connect with this, as I go back and forth between using the Acorn Rondeneur and a Carradice Barley bag. I definitely prefer bags that are above the fenders over panniers whenever possible. My two favorite rear bags are the Barley Bag mounted on the SQR release and an old large, wedge

[RBW] Saluki Touch Up Paint ??

At least judging from the pictures on the cyclofiend collection there seem to have been a variety of Saluki colors over time, and brake styles too. Mine is gray and I suspect a very early edition, # SA 0011. It has canti brakes. It could use a little touch up on the BB shell and around the dro

[RBW] front or rear rack?

Hi all. I currently use an acorn handlebar bag on longer rides. I like it, but it's in the way at times. I'm thinking a small rack might be a better option. I camp very very rarely and don't do multi day tours, so I don't want both a front and a rear rack - but which is best? Preferences out

Since it is the 20th Anniversary of Rivendell why not celebrate with both locations since separate dates are already being proposed. Although the SF location has a growing lead very few pollsters (only 3 of 60) currently listed a willingness to attend either great state. Conflicts due to proxi

With the Shimano brake levers that came with my Sam you can mount it just behind the cable adjuster lock nut. That puts it in a very nice position. Not all brake levers have enough "snout" for this to work though. On Sunday, August 18, 2013 3:23:01 PM UTC-4, Robert Barr wrote: > > Michael, I ha
