You don’t have to go that hard. I just get super paranoid. I know the bike can’t go anywhere but you never know…. I personally think the Thule rack is easier to use but the 1Up is much lighter. It installs in about a minute. That 1Up fender attachment looks interesting. My mountain bike just got
I thought the same thing Leah, it looks soft but not grippy therefore
requiring downwards force to hold it. The swagman looks good as it doesn't
rely on clamping the tops of the wheels in any capacity.
The deformation on the tires in jacobs photo makes me think I'd never want
to put that kind
Steven,
That looks like fine Spring riding and that road swinging up the hill looks
like a lot of fun (up or down). Years ago I lived in Morocco and visited
Portugal. I remember it being wild and hilly. Must be a wonderful place to
ride.
Cheers,
John

I've got a Quickbeam and yet I still find myself staring at this and
wondering what I could do with it. Thankfully, I imagine this will be gone
soon.
Good luck with the sale. It is a beauty.

I've got two Sackville Bags surplus to my needs.
1) Riv Grabsack in Brown - $50 shipped
--I picked this up at this price from Bill a couple months ago, but its
just not the right bag for me. In great shape, I added some extra hardware
(strap keepers) which you can remove easily if you want.
2)
And I forgot to mention that I'm happy to separate out the Schwalbe
studded tires (26" X 2") for $80, shipped.
Thanks!

I am following this thread with interest. I have the Saris Freedom 4 bike
rack, but that company seems to be lessening their quality and maybe even
phasing out this rack. They have a new modular system they seem to want you
to buy, and it isn’t going to play nice with mixtes with fenders.
Hi again, Stephanie. Did you see that Igor Shteynbuk at Velo Orange has
posed part 1 (of 4) in a video series building up a rando bike from
scratch? Not a book, but useful?

I add my congratulations on trying something new and out of your comfort zone,
especially skills that can add to your love of cycling. I've thought since
first reading of your Nevada bike adventures and mechanical challenges you
should try learning to work on your bikes .
I guess it was
Leah, way to go, RivSister! Bravery counts; good job stepping out of your
comfort zone and encouraging others to do the same by your example.
Thanks to everyone who posted resources for learning more mechanic skills.
Park Tools has been a good source; now I'm going to check out RJ the bike
Learning is always good, but in my opinion the first lesson to learn in any
new area of knowledge is just how badly one underestimated the magnitude of
what they did not know. The stages are:
1. I know nothing and I'd like to know something
2. I'll devote [small amount of time] to learn
Excellent post, Leah, and the thread it has inspired; kudos to your LBS and
mechanic too. I can only do a few things at this point, but mean to change
that by signing up for a class at the United Bicycle Institute in Oregon
sometime in the next year, once I step off the work wheel here in May.
Yes, RJ the Bike Guy is great. Especially when he’s making his own tools, like the homemade bottom bracket thread chaser, the homemade headset press… it takes some of the mystery out of these processes. On Feb 20, 2023, at 6:58 PM, Garth wrote:Yep, three cheers for not underestimating your

think it was the reason I ordered a 2nd Riv , a Riv road in 2000...and I
almost went for red but switched to Harvest Gold
