Re: [RBW] Re: Sag Wagon Camping Test Run

Patrick, That sounds fun. Even modern data can be a bit off. We once took a drive in our low slung 2004 Audi S4 to our farm in the Missouri Ozarks. I set the nearly new Garmin GPS to keep us off of the interstates and it surely did that. It routed us on one road that dwindled to gravel and

Re: [RBW] PSA: AHH in tuscon ($1500)

It's certainly a possible. That size PBH is approximately 1/4" less than mine (0.275591"). If I measure my AHH seat post vertically instead of at the seat tube angle, that would put the saddle rails almost 3" above the top of the seat post bolt. The top of my top tube in front of the saddle is

Re: [RBW] PSA: AHH in tuscon ($1500)

I'm 5'10" also and was sized at a 57 when I ordered my AHH last year. It fits me well. My PBH is 83.8 and I have just a bit less than a fist full of seat post showing. Tim On Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 12:59 PM, drew wrote: > You sure it won't fit? I'm 5'10 and that would

Re: [RBW] Re: Need new shoes

There is a huge difference between barefoot and any kind of shoe, even the "barefoot" kind. Some of the more minimalist shoes might let the foot move more fully, but they are still a restriction. It is similar to moving from a cast to an ace bandage to a surgical glove. The latter may be the

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

I have a pair of devices on my AHH. https://www.flickr.com/photos/timbutterfield/29444653562/in/album-72157672136967320/ These are a Garmin Edge 820 and an iPhone 5S running the Wahoo Fitness app (on a Quad Lock mount). Both ANT+ and BT are fed simultaneously by the Wahoo Fitness Blue SC sensor

Re: [RBW] Leah's Bicycle Bus! (and question)

In addition to the camera search, especially by the mall, there is also theft of public property, the traffic cones. I wonder if that would be sufficient for a warrant to search. Or, just wait for garbage collection day and check the can at the curb for disposal of them. Depending on

There are tradeoffs with password storage approaches. 1Password lets you store them locally instead of in the cloud on a server controlled by someone else. LastPass stores them in the cloud, but the browser extensions validate the URL before recognizing the site for filling in the login page
