Hi all, The screw in the back is a recessed rack mount. My chainstays are 49 cm long from the center of the bb to the center of the rear dropout. I have a 24-38-48 crank with 11-34 cassette. See you, Toshi On Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 2:13 PM, lum gim fong wrote: >

[RBW] Re: Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

I have Flyers and B67's and each one seem to develop noises of some sort over time. And they never seem to get completely corrected. Although I live with them I have gravitated toward non-sprung saddles on my bikes. Less weighty and no squeaks. On Monday, September 11, 2017 at 6:46:44 PM

Sounds like two metal parts are passing each other. Try lubing up around the tension bolt in the front. Could also be where the springs end/begin, but careful what you use there--I've had the spring bolt start to unwind if things are made too slippery. Might want to try a combo of loctite and

Awesome. One hundred miles is a lot to do without "training," but as you have shown, it's not impossible! And by making the mental shift from "training" to "just riding" your attention stays completely on the ride at hand. My experience has been that if most of your riding is "training" for

Nice report!! Congrats!! No training! Thats how its supposed to be. Commutin' should count for something! I dont like training either. Just riding for fun. How many days a week do you commute? How many miles each commute? Week? I mostly seem to be in back on centuries. The last guy to finish.
