My technique has been to lay down a thin spiral of painter's masking
tape, and then screw the grips on. The friction fit keeps things
tight, but can still be removed with a bit of conserted twisting.

Please don't misunderstand me. I specifically referred to converting from
27" to 700c on cantilever equipped frames. If the cantilever posts are in
the right place for 630mm rims, you have to run the pads quite low for
622mm rims and the mechanical advantage gets all messed up, forcing

Hey Bill,
What are the compromises converting 27 to 700?
I've never had a problem with it, and I can fit fatter tires, but I've only
done it to a couple bikes.

Which also leads to the question... If you don't have to bend it to fit (the
ones I have slip right on to my canti Sam), then would it be mostly okay to
have a basket on it as long as you still follow the loading recommendations..?

I can't believe I'm asking this about a Rivendell, but what does the built

I have no specific thoughts about the 980 suitability for a 630 to 622

that is have to consider.

Not for me. To touch up scratches on Rivs.
I don't want to do the Grant Petersen thing and just put red. I'd like the
nail polish to somewhat match.
I have a mustard clem with a scrach.
And a light blue roadini.
Any touch-up ideas would be appreciated.
