This is incredible Kai - you're playing with fire here, you're gonna have requests pouring in! Sorry for the brazen pun. oh geez. Seriously you put the 'can' in 'cantilever', I can't wait to come check it out IRL and make the swap! For those who may have forgotten, I had an extra fork for my

[RBW] Re: Dynamo Hub Frozen?

This is embarrassing but I think it was that the wheel bolt was not tight enough. It hadn't been effecting the dynamo until ice got in, that's what pushed it over the edge and got it stuck. Thanks guys for the advice! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[RBW] Dynamo Hub Frozen?

I have an SP Dynamo hub on my Cheviot which I keep outdoors. It's been in the single digits here in Brooklyn and this morning when I got on my bike the wiring on the hub was turning with it...luckily I saw it as I wheeled my bike onto the sidewalk and unplugged the wires before they were

I have a 61 Roadini, and am at the bottom of the PBH for it as well. I started with a Nitto 110mm, and realized after a few brevets and long rides that I didn't like being so stretched out, and switched to 70mm Nitto Pearl. Noodles all the way. -- You received this message because you are

[RBW] How to select a Brooks saddle

I ride the c19 on my Cheviot, done a century and some other long rides on it, including off road and aggressive riding. I have boscos so I'm pretty upright but it really feels fantastic and not too wide. I've had two stolen, so sadly I'm going to stop buying new ones. -- You received this
