Thanks, Jon. Next year sounds good -- I'll be doing it at off peak times to avoid as much traffic as possible. Considering some of the passes I've ridden down on single track (1-2 hours descent on some of them, all of it braking), I'm betting my hands will do alright. Hopefully I'll know soon!

It's a great idea as either a short term solution (very short) to get home or to the shop if it's very close; otherwise it sounds like a great idea if he's looking to splint himself too. Sardonic grin. With abandon, Patrick On Saturday, October 11, 2014 9:38:37 AM UTC-6, Anne Paulson wrote:

It hit me this morning (thanks, Peet's!) that with brazed-on centerpulls (like the Paul Racers), one actually has wide latitude (or longitude, heh) over how far apart the brazed-on centerpull posts/bosses/pivots are placed. Thus, working with a frame builder, one can fine-tune the brakes for

I like the VO rack, but then I have the frame it was sort of made for. There's a nice rack fitting on the bottom that helps support my front fender. The support arms aren't fancy--the ends are squashed tubing rather than lugged--but they work well. Personally, I prefer dull to shiny
