The more I look and measure I don't think they will work on my saluki while
using the nitto mini from rack. I guess I'll have to change to neo retro cantis
if I want paul brakes.

I like the concept of this site, but my nit to pick is that things like the
"amount of head tube above the top tube" seems to be standardized. As a
result, bikes with stupid looking extended head tubes (eg, New Albion
Privateer) don't correctly compare the top tube angle.
I'm not sure how to fix
Also a tall guy with those concerns! I know they’re constantly trying to work
with manufacturers to get as much data as they can. I think the long-term plan
is to build such a useful resource that manufacturers and retailers will have
incentive to provide complete info.

if you are using a rack that needs the fork crown hole, yes. it will likely
be in the way. Ive had them on 2 bikes and the cable directly crosses that
hole. With a diving board attachment you could likely go over or under with
a little bending though.

Yeah, my only concern is my rack interfering with the cable that crosses over
the tire. But I want to keep v brakes instead of switching to cantis.

I am currently running a pair of R539 brakes on my '83 Trek, and at least
in the front, they are the limiting factor in fender/tire clearance. Dia
Compe 610's offer several millimeters of additional clearance over the
539's. I think if you want maximize clearance with that kind of brake
reach,
The planet bike metal 65mm fenders are a perfect fit on the hubbuhhubbuh

On mine, the tip of the frame holding the noodle is in front of the
mounting bolt in the fork crown for my light. When I pull the brake lever,
the bolt is completely covered by the noodle frame.

Yup, dirt drop has that nice straight line economy. Gets the bar up while
sinking plenty of quill. Who said "Just because you can drive 80 mph and some
governing body says it's safe, doesn't mean you should"?
Regardless of who said it, the same is true for quill extension.

Craig, I am most impressed with the “Rough Stuff” riders.
Thanks for giving them a mention here. Pretty amazing terrain they had to pedal
over and with hefty loads too. Those were some tough blokes!
Cheers mate!

I know fit is paramount, but let's assume fit is not an issue.
I just replaced a technomic stem with a dirt drop stem. My first reaction is
that the dirt drop stem is kind of gangly looking. I want to like it. But the
technomic is more elegant. Do others agree? (Yes I admit this is a
Yes, Jim, I agree. I'd never use a Dirt Drop on one of my bikes, for that

I remember reading somewhere where Grant talks about putting the hole in
the fork crown in a different location (higher?) than most other bike
designers. I don't think there is any way the set-up of the blue bike with
a rack could work with the motolite on my Hunqapillar.

I prefer a dirt drop style stem to a Technomic with more than 3 or 4 inches of
exposed quill. Seeing a Technomic maxed out looks all wrong to me. Just my 2
cents.

Controversial. The classic randonneur upsweep gets a No from me. The flare
gets a Yes from me. The width confounds me.
I say Do It. Bonus points if your stem is black.

about four feet wide.)

I'm in the DirtDrop camp. I've ridden lots of maxed out Technomics/Tallux and
they do the deed, but that big L flying above the saddle never looks right to
me.

I prefer an upjutter stem to a stem with road angle but with more than say
8 or 9 cm of quill showing. OTOH, on a nice road bike, I'd prefer a nice
road stem to the rather beefy and more industrial looking Dirt Drop.
Me, if the bike were very important to me -- say, a Rivendell -- I'd
consider
Jeff, how about dirt drop stem and crust towel rack on a Joe Appaloosa? That's
what I'm playing around with.

Very, very handy resource. For starters, it answered my months-long
question - why I can't seem to get handlebars high enough on my current
frame, while on another similar size frame I didn't have that problem.

Would the cable and pully at the top get in the way of mounting a nitto mini

Hi Peter,
Sorry it got confusing real quick. Here is the rundown:
I will sell everything you see in the picture besides saddle for $2300 plus
bike flights shipping. So grab a saddle, put it on, make some adjustments
and you are good to go.
Here is the build list, all in all, about $3,800.
the rack is now sold.

Paul motolites are very powerful brakes. I had them on my Hunqapillar a
couple of years ago. It's one of the most powerful mechanical brakes I've
used. The response is very immediate, easy to set up. and very robust.
The flipside, when you brake it engages very quickly, giving a grabby feel.
My completely subjective opinion as the new owner of a BaggaBond and no longer
drinker of the beers: You'll have all that room if you unload the bottles from
the box. I think the box would take up all the space otherwise.

Wide tires, wide rims, drop bars at a reasonable height, and a balanced load.
