These pants are excellent for riding (articulatd knees) as well as hiking

Interesting, fwiw: adjustable cable pull. But not at that price, and the

Is there anything that repels rodents? For instance, putting moth balls in
a bag? I know there are things they like to chew on, such as electric wire
insulation. A friend lost a Brooks leather saddle bag to rodents chewing
on it. It only had tools, no food. Maybe they also like to chew on

I had a similar problem. I mounted the hupe on my bike just for a short

The tires are definitely going to be the biggest factor here for sure.
Rotational inertia or whatever people wan to call it matters a lot less
than previously believed, but there are still advantages to nice and/or
lightweight wheels. I'd hate to recommend buying a $1000 wheelset when

Hi -
While I was out of town, someone entered my garage and made off with two

A friend of mine got a Hillborne via dealer from the recent batch, and it

FWIW, the only way to "mouseproof" a handlebar bag of any sort that is used
on a bike shored in a rural shed is to remove it from the bike and take
