[RBW] VO Randonneur Front Rack on Sam Hillborne

2016-10-23 Thread Lungimsam
I had a 52 blue Sam. I bought the VO Rando rack and put it on my Bleriot. But before I did that I checked to see if it would fit the Sam eyelets on the fork. It would not fit. The Rando rack stays, if I remember correctly, don't come down low enough to meet the fork eyelets. Stay angle is wrong

You will also see some evidence of Bombadil needing a refinish. It will be out of commission for a bit while I get the rust removed and have it clear coated anew. On Sunday, October 23, 2016 at 7:20:13 PM UTC-7, Jim M. wrote: > > The new eastern span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge opened 3 year

The new eastern span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge opened 3 years ago, and included a bike path. The bike path went almost to Treasure Island but stopped, a sort of bridge to nowhere for bikes. Today it opened all the way to Treasure Island. Still a bit useless because it doesn't go to San Fr

Either the shifter stays put or it does not. If the chain is really off a bit you can hear it, but a good shifter should still not autoshift easily , a not as good shifter apparently, will. I have not seen the ratchet inside of a Silver shifter to compare with the ST DT version. As I menti

Grant, I'm another voice against the pentalobe idea. No other fastener on the bike uses it, it will require a special tool just for the shifter, making maintenance a pain - there's not really a reason to do this, other than theft, perhaps, and if you're still using a D-ring than that's moot.
