What version of the thunderburts are you running, and it seems adequate for
touring?

Thanks for sharing this Patrick. I'm keen to try some TBs when my current
tires wear out. Would you mind measuring the diameter of the wheel/tire
combo? I would like to have an idea if they will fit under my fenders.

Hey All
I'm looking for a used front rack, Marks Rack or similar for my Clem with
V-Brakes.
If anyone has something they are looking to part with please reach out.
Thanks!

i use the little plastic housing in v brake noodles as a buffer between cable
and the bare cable guide on my Atlantis. Yes, the cable could fall out of the
guide but i keep an eye on it mike goldmanrhode island
1 Simple Trick Removes
Ask Rivendell what that tubing is. IIRC it's some type of teflon tubing.
I had several experiences of the cable falling out of the groove & dropping
off the BB shell. Probably operator error. So got a common plastic cable
guide, drilled & tapped the BB shell, and installed that. Solved
Does anyone know what size Appaloosa this is? The proportions are right
for a 55cm but I'm not familiar with the smaller sizes, so it could be one
of those. The gap between the seat tube and the rear tire makes me think
it might be 650B instead of 700c.

I found what I was looking for. Thanks for the offer.

They do make some plastic sleeves that can go over the cables in that
situation. I don't know if they are worthwhile or where to buy them though.

If you are talking about ridges cast into the bottom bracket shell, then yes.
The cables ride in the channels of the ridges.
If it's something different, you may want to post a picture.

Dammit. I ditched the rear brakes on 2 bikes with an *ENO* hub, which is
less cooperative with rear brakes than properly sloped axle slots. Your
sloped track ends (alright, Sheldon, I said it right) ought to accommodate
rear pads and axle movement a lot better than the *ENO.*

Keep us up to date on your experiences and any changes.
Note that if you should use a 17/19 Dingle, you could use a 40 or 42 t ring
with the 17 to get about a 66" gear (27" wheel, 42 t ring; 28" wheel, 40 t
ring) as well as a 59" or 60" gear with the 19; and a 6 or 7 gi difference

Funny. I'm actually dealing with the same exact issue, except that I have my
Wald basket on top of a small front rack. Right now I have everything set up so
that the bars sit just above the basket, but I'd like to lower the bars another
cm or two.
This past weekend I bought some 44cm Noodle
How about a basket mod to make the rear of the basket shorter to get it
below your bars? I remember seeing fellow list member Bill Lindsay post
about a hack he did, inspired by Jenny@Riv's mod, and I've wanted to do it
myself almost more for the looks vs. functionality. Here's a link to Bill's
Deacon, I think that's what I'm going to do for now...no inclination for a
major project right now.
And Patrick, I totally agree with your "philosophy" of fixed gear riding.
It attracts me for the same reasons.

Pelican cases also provide good protection. The key is a case with a decent

I vote for rotation - just locate the long struts as far forward on the
bottom of the basket as possible.

Hey Bunch,
As I'm putting together a new build, I realized that my Nitto 32f front
rack and Wald 137 basket aren't going to play nicely with my 40cm wide drop
bars. *If *I can squeeze the basket between the brake levers, there won't
be any room for fingers. :( I ride a smaller frame, so
I keep trying to convince myself that I don't need a medium saddlesack, but
I'm having a hard time (I've drafted this post and deleted it a few times
already). Anyone have a killer deal on a medium saddlesack? If it's
beausaged that's totally fine--better actually, since it would be cheaper.

Yes. This was the bike. I didn't get a chance to talk to him because there
were so many people coming through at the time.
There are a lot more scrapes and bruises on me than the bike, but I was

Hey Alan,
My suggestion is ride the 65" (or 70") on the longer rides. You will be
surprised how quickly you learn climbing either in the saddle or standing
but in a slow, steady way for longer hills. I don't know what long hills
are where you live, here they are 10-20 miles. Grin. Should you
He gave the price in his initial post--$1000. It looks like he's soliciting
offers and is open to getting some that are below his asking price.

Much thanks for all the thoughtful replies and info. The bike in question
is currently set up fixed with 65" gearing, and this is fine for around
town and short rides out of town. I was thinking about longer rides with
longer hillsno real mountains and no off road. Given the limitations
