Looks like there may be another run of the HHH tandem, maybe possibly. Man, if they could do the Gus Boots curved top-tube to increase the standover for smaller riders (5'4"), I'd seriously consider buying one, hanging it in my basement and awaiting the growth of my kids. -- You received

Insider information is good! But, I dunno, a 27F without the low rider isn’t so good looking either. I could stand the 8-pack rack if I’m zip tying a basket on it. At some point, I’m just putting the 34F on and calling it a day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

I've been thinking about this an I'm really intrigued by the Surly 8-Pack rack vs. the Nitto 32F. The surly doesn't seem to interfere with the fork crown and straddle carrier in any way. Installation looks as clunky as any of these racks with canti-brakes. Also curious to see what the Nitto

Are you sure that the original bottom bracket would cause the chainrings to hit the chainstay? If so they yes, you may need to go wider. Here’s what I would do: Install the crank on your XO-2. Measure the chain line in the front, following Sheldon’s directions. Let’s see what that number is.

What rear wheel were you planning to use? http://thepeoplelike.blogspot.com/ It looks like that Exage crank uses a 121mm spindle. So, A shimano UN55 68 x 122.5mm would be easy to get and cheaper than the tools to swap out a cup and cone BB. I'm assuming that Sam Hillborne's rear is spaced at
