Thank you for the p-clamp idea Kainalu. That seems like the right place to

Thanks for the recommendation Joe. I was wondering about this. Sometime
ago I went to Riv website to order a Tallux, but stopped since I wasn't
sure which one I needed.

This picture made my day! I love Bromptons. Their design is so

one of the coolest things I've seen in bikes. I also bought a Brompton (3
times) just for how neat that system is.

I really liked the B dyno tail light and picked it up when I was at Riv

I have one up for sale. It is a solid, beautiful, fun bike. Can be
configured in many, many ways. My reason for selling is not getting enough
chances to ride it. Looking forward to owning one again (or whatever
version Riv might have by then) after couple of years when situation

The green Appaloosa (and all components) is in 'like new' condition. About
300 miles.

Okay, I think the right move for me would be to zip-tie the pump to my
tool/jacket/glove bag :)
It's been a thousand or so miles since I started biking regularly. All
kinds of surfaces, different types of tire, but not single flat so far. If
this luck were to continue, the zip-tie would

consider for long trips. esp for those who feel the reach is not long

As others have mentioned, what's most comfortable would depend on the bike,
your PBH to torso/arm length, type of riding, age, etc.
On my App I initially went with Choco-NORM. You hunch about the corners is
absolutely correct. Wrist position is super ergonomic there.
