Thanks Eric, I have previously used these Neo Retros on my Appaloosa and on an old GT. I didn't like them either time, I have used a lot of canti's over the years and I would have put them at the bottom of the list. With these different pads and perhaps a more agreeable rim-to-brake-pivot ratio

Alex, how’s the attachment to the basket on this bag? You think it would work with one of the 139 half baskets? -R On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 3:45 PM Alex K wrote: > $100 local Bay Area sale, or $115 shipped CONUS. This bag is not > Riv-specific, but this Green always looked good on my Clem. It

Hello! In search of the following, used but functional is fine, looking for low prices on your unwanted bits here before I go searching online for deals: - right-side top-mount thumb shifter, like an Suntour Power Ratchet, or maybe your used Sunrace M96, ideally silver/mostly-silver. Will be

Hi all, I changed out the shifters and drivetrain on my Saluki, and can't think of another use for the rapid-rise rear derailleur. So, it's looking for a new home. It's in good condition and went through the parts washer after I took it off. :-) $25, including shipping? (I'm basically

How that’s a very cool part to have been stashing away. Definitely the right time to be selling these since the “vintage” mtb market is so hot right now. Long gone are the days of $15 XT thumbies from the local bike co-op. Good luck with the sale! -R On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 7:39 PM

I’m another rider who started wirh drops on my first 10 speed that I got for my thirteenth birthday. Still on drops 58 years later, always level with my saddle. Twice I’ve built up bikes with flat bars and always went back to drops. I do spend most of my time on the ramps or hoods but whenever

Have you always wanted a Quickbeam? This orange size 56 QB has great components and is priced to sell. I purchased it used from a list member in 2016. I’ve ridden it lightly since then, mainly as a townie/errand bike with a small rack and front basket. As anyone who has ridden one will tell

Hello John, I recently had a frame/fork powder coated so it had the same problem, the powder coat paint partially filled in the holes. So I used a drill bit to ream the holes out. I don't recall which size I used, but I can check if needed. Good luck, JohnS On Saturday, July 30, 2022 at

Marc Irwin stated: "The point is that riders don't use that position (I'm assuming drops). Even against the wind, only one with drop bars actually got into the lower position. They all stayed up on the hoods or the flats the whole ride." Typically, this is because their stems are too low

I wish I could say it would work with the half basket, but honestly it's gonna be best with a full-sizer. You'd have to really cinch it down, as the bag is already maxing out every square cm of the basket. It's a surprisingly voluminous bag, when fully maxed out and it gets quite tall when

Thanks John! Actually, it's not the holes that are the problem, but the base of the brake bosses, just before the holes, is where the boss is too wide to allow the brakes to slide down far enough so that the pin goes into a hole. Cheers, John On Sunday, July 31, 2022 at 12:43:01 PM UTC-7
