They do a fantastic job of helping folks find their format based on use,

It requires being a bit a bit handy and ideally a rivet setter, but on
those SKS fenders you can drill out the rivets on those brackets and
remount them on the outside of the fender instead. Good for tight
clearance,
Eric,
I just received my DV Greenspot a couple of months ago and it is heavier
than my previous rain jacket. I'd probably not use it in warm weather but
it is great for anything cool/cold. It is bulkier too so it's not the kind
of thing I'd just throw in my bag if it is not supposed to rain.
Man, what a deal Matthew! This would complete my 650b stable!

I got the Double Ventile Greenspot (based on recommendations from the list)
last year and have come to realize a few things:
1. The quality of stitching, zippers, fabric is superb
2. The jacket is indeed fairly heavy and hot. I would not recommend it for
cycling in warmer temperatures. When I

For those with the double ventile greenspot, do reserve that for colder
weather? I generally like to layer under my jacket and use a thinner jacket. I
almost worry the single greenspot will be too heavy for me, but I guess I have
thinner jacket for warmer weather.

I had the 32F rack mounted on my sam hillborne successfully with deore V
brakes, but I am *guessing* this only worked because of the smaller tire
clearance which equated to shorter distance between fork crown and brake
stud.

Yep, we called it the river bed in LA. I remember it as a very isolated and
spooky place when I was a kid, but that may reflect on what LA/Long Beach was

I’ll also just chime in and say I also have a 56cm 650b MUSA Atlantis with

Unless it didn’t fit, I can’t imagine anyone regretting this.
