My 46cm Noodles are my first drop bars, installed with Pauls cross top levers. They did ease the transition early with a more familiar flat bar feel, but I ride mostly on the hoods, and after about 6 months, I started ‘emergency braking’ (the brakes you jump too without thinking) on the hoods too.

I commute in Melbourne, Australia, where I think the risk of theft is moderate. I love the Kryptonite Mini, for its strength, size and weight, compared to other U locks. I used to use the Sheldon method, until I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9fLtdZyX-A I think Sheldon got this one

On my order I did ask for 'expedited shipping if possible'. I must have lucked into an order that was small enough for this within their fixed international shipping - I ordered on Wednesday 4pm, and was delivered 10am Tuesday. Awesome, thanks Rivendell!. My bike is now 'tour ready.'

[RBW] RBW Delivery Time to Australia?

quickly have people received their RBW parts orders to Australia? Secondly, with the Nitto Marks Rack, do I need to find the nut and bolt to fix the rack to the brake bridge hole in my fork, or does it come with? I'm running V-brakes on my Surly LHT, so the hole is currently vacant. Mark in Melbourne
