It doesn't answer your question, but I recommend taking a look at the klite
1300 lumen light. Its a symmetrical light that (at least in the US) I've
found to be more useful than an asymmetrical light for all-round riding.
It's also bright as the dickens, but adds a noticeable amount of drag on
All I can say is my hanging edeluxe ii dont look anywhere near as bright as the
vendors’ online pics show. Works great though and bright enough. Just not as
bright and uniform as pics show.
IQX is on my radar for next light.

I had a similar issue with my Homer. To get more clearance for fenders with
wider tires I found a very clean set of Mafac Raids, and put them on my

Speculating about the new Riv MTB, my favorite pastime! I think I will end
up buying one; here are my (wild speculations) regarding points #2 and #3,
It seems that the new MTB will have been designed from the beginning mainly
for trails, whereas the Clem was more designed as an all-rounder

I have a 46cm Noodle, but I'd rather have an Albastache. I could possibly
include the non-aero brake levers and 100mm Technomic if that seals the
deal.

I went to Nitto's Website and found some info on two of their racks:
http://nitto-tokyo.sakura.ne.jp/carrier-E.html
We can see the rack that has caused the uproar, the M12, with the warning.
The M18 doesn't have this warning.
I own the M18, it doesn't seem to different than the ones Riv
Hi Leah,
The Blahg post does not pertain to your Nitto Big Front Rack. Nitto Big
Front Rack (among others) connects to the drop out and can handle much
larger loads than the Nitto Mini, Marks, and other "rando-type" front racks.

I used to take the train to South San Francisco for a horrible job loading
trucks for UPS. Some trains, usually the ones at night (11pm-ish) had steep
steps with the bottom step being about two feet off the ground. I had to
lift my fendered, large Wald-basketed, Schwalbe-tired, and Surly-racked
I’d like to see a mini front rack that somehow does not interfere with the fork
crown and my brake setup in any way, shape or form.

Thanks everyone for all the recommendations.
Andy, yes, please do post a pic of the pump attachment on the dowel. That’s a
slick idea!

Just to clarify: this Blahg post is only pertaining to the small Nitto racks
Rivendell sells, correct? I ask because I have the Nitto Big Front Rack with
the large Wald attached and I think if I was asked to remove it my dog would be
in hysterics... I've ridden my Betty Foy and he's ridden his
SHORT dirtdrop. You'll need a Tallux unless your bike has a tall headtube.

I have the box my Bullmoose came in and it appears I'm never going to use this
bar. SOMA Moustache 3-Speed Bar, comes attached to some old dirtdrop stem I
bought a while back, 25.4 clamp, $5 cheeseburger money plus shipping, probably
around 20 bucks.
My erstwhile Orange QB was definitely 27.2mm.

Andy,
Thanks for the reminder about mounting on the dowel. I've heard about this
approach before (maybe from you?), and have thought of doing this myself.
Would you mind, if it isn't too far off topic, posting a photo of how you
oriented the mounting?

Hi Kiley,
Wally's idea of installing a ramp on the steps is a good one, unless
your steps are too steep and your new bike too heavy to push up as you
climb your steps.
Even better, could you remodel your porch? Put in something like a wheel
chair access ramp?

I just hope this new mtb is a trail bike first and foremost and not a
touring bike with bigger tires. Not that using a touring bike on a trail is
impossible or anything, just that a bike made for trails will have a
different geometry, tubes, intended handlebar, bottom bracket height, ect.
IME changing tires has the best cost to benefit, in some cases it may not
even cost more. I switched from Schwable to Compass tires (Compass tires
were a bit cheaper actually), and lost almost 2 pounds.
Your other biggest value is figuring out how much you actually NEED to
carry. I used to
This is clearly an excuse to buy a winter bike. I have a Surly LHT that I
love anyway, but I also don't mind riding it all winter. Having ridden
bikes year round in Minnesota for 15 years I'd say that riding in dry, cold
conditions with salt residue is not a big deal (Now in Indy the weather is
Bill, you make a good point about Nitto's conservative weight ratings can make

in reality they're designed for the same purpose and should probably be treated

Topeak mini is the pump I have with me every day on my commute. I mounted

Kiley,
For the steps I'd suggest installing a board to the outer edge of the steps
to roll up or down. Keep it wide enough for getting the bike on, but narrow
enough to not become a trip hazard.
CHEERS!
