I don't have any extras but when I ordered some (for a Bike Friday) from Carradice for delivery to the London hotel where my wife and I stayed in October they were responsive to email and very quick at shipping. I also got an extra red, plastic release slide as they are easily lost! Ask if they

http://bicyclepatents.com/wright-brothers-cycles-reborn/152/ My past neighbors had tried to bring back the spirit of the Wright Brothers’ bicycles several years ago. When they lived in Dayton, Ohio they created their own bicycle brand Cycles Gaansari. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep the

[RBW] Re: Frank Jones brake choices

True indeed. Can confirm that 610s won't fit the rear, either. I ended up with a set of Silver long-reach sidepulls. I'm not thrilled by the braking, but at least they have the needed reach. The front brake pads are near the top of the slot, the rears as low as they can go. Dramatic and kind of

Dang. In addition to being go-getters, those kids had money. Orville’s $160 bike was $4000 in today’s money. I wonder if their first three addresses were expansions. Same side of the street in the same block. Owning the print shop across the street is interesting. I wonder if it was a

Upon reading this thread a number of days ago, i bought a flickstand off ebay (had to get the atb version to fit atlantis tubing). Got it and installed it today. it isn't pretty (sits right over the "A" on the Atlantis decal), but man does it make the kickstand/leaning of a bike feel way

Hi Patrick- It is hard to say for sure due to all the variables: size of the bike, etc., hence height of the load, but my gut says yes, but it also says it will additionally have to do with the kickstand situation. What I do know, is it works on my 60cm Cheviot with 700c wheels, a small basket

Re: [RBW] bar-end plugs that screw in

Easy peasy. Before sticking the plugs into the bar, slightly tighten the screw so that the internal nut butts up snugly against the inside of the plug. Insert plug in bar, tighten as per usual. I didn't know they came in different colors; have only used Velox ones. Will have to order some colors.

Hi all, so I probably should have just inserted wine corks, but I thought I'd try those rubber Rustines as end plugs. After inserting, one is supposed to tighten them in by turning a screw on the outside. There is nut on the insider. But I can't make the nut inside the bar stay put, so the

@Jeff, I appreciate your story especially as the owner of two tandems. I, too, am surprised that your front wheel was more impacted than your rear wheel. In years of racing and now un-racing, I've never checked/inspected rims before *every* ride and I still don't see any need with rim brakes.
