I have never had good luck with Sram chains and have found their master
links to be particularly problematic. Some years ago I switched to
Wipperman 908 chains and have always gotten good shifting, long life and
reliability from them. Their master links are a different design and are
you can find new SRAM chains for as little as $13, and a spare master link
is a very light spare to haul along. If you wear through a master link,
your chain was probably stretched enough to affect shifting and
sprocket/chainring wear.

old French clips.
I'm with Bruce on this. King does great work. He and his wife run a great
operation.
I love my BG half toe clips on White Industries pedals.

Either ride flats or clip in.

I am a huge fan of Bruce Gordon half clips. They are on all of my bikes.

I would like it if Panaracer made something less expensive in the 38-42mm
size, in 650b. 700x38 Pasela would be great but I don't own a bike that
has clearance for that.

How much larger? I don't think we need another 42mm at this
Ooh ooh can we get a 650 x 35-38 knobby? I'd like to further underbike my
Riv Road, which won't fit a 650 x 42b.

Beautiful bike Jim! Love the fenders, I think I'm going to add a set as winter
approaches (although last winter I think it only rained five days in SoCal).
Have you ever thought about going with a shorter stem to move the Noodles
closer to you? I can definitely say that I have totally fallen
So then a better choice would be a wider smooth tire? Like, for example,
the Schwalbe Super-Motos?

I think the BG half-clips really look fine, but my daughter rides
half-clips on one bike and hers are nylon, we both ride Ale's on our
go-fast bikes, and I ride Grip Kings on my utility bike. Maybe one day
I'll have the bike for them.

That's why you buy by the stack. Or that's the reason I buy by the stack.
A lot of places, including Chain Reaction (and Rivendell), do free shipping
when you spend a decent amount of money. I'd never order a single chain on
the internet. You might as well pay retail at the LBS if you are

Often the stations will have used boxes that they'll let you use for free.
