There should be an adjustment on the brakes to align them. On the Tektro Oryx
cantis on my QB, there’s a little Allen fitting:
You’ll probably need to adjust both sides to get the brakes centered around the
rim.

So far they have made:

All we need now are brake levers, headset, bb, rims, cassettes, seatpost,

With a 10 speed chains, I've only used Sugino and Vuelta, and there is no
difference in their performance.
Note, I use a 42 in the middle position and a 28 in the granny/inside

John, I found the zips to be of minimal use and annoying on the bike, having to
tuck the front flap under to prevent flapping with each pedal stroke. The

longer to cover my rear. My newer red smock does not have them and

One of the reasons, I like Sackville bags is the shape. The materials and

the shape seems to work well for me in terms of "packability". In other
words, it seems like some bags (frame bags for example) that have lots of

For a few years, RBW sold models with 132.5mm rear spacing so you could use
130mm or 135mm hubs. Steel is flexible enough that you can spread even a 126mm
vintage frame open for modern 130 hubs. You can also have a frame cold set if
desired but I have never needed to.
