Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for satellite mapping thing

Totally agree with the mapping issues, although I ride exclusively on roads and well-defined off-street bike paths. However, requiring a smartphone for mapping could be viewed as a feature, not a bug. Yes, I have to stop and haul out my phone to map a route to a new destination, but in my

[RBW] NAHBS Film Photos

Here are a few photos from the NAHBS that I shot on film. A few more waiting to get developed tomorrow. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmBJnAHi I was also taking video and shooting digital, so I didn’t have time to take as many film photos as I would have liked. However, I

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for satellite mapping thing

Joey: Sorry for jumping into this thread (this may have already been addressed), but my Wahoo Elemnt absolutely does show offstreet bike trails. I ride almost every day on the American River bike path, which shows quite clearly. A friend and I rode across several East Bay cities on Sunday, and

Re: [RBW] clean-ish routing for generator lights

I did the silicone thing on a bike once. Holds the wire in place for sure. Downsides: 1) Takes a while to dry, and you have to hold the wire in place with masking tape, etc., until it does 2) Won’t want to come off. You’ll have to scrape it off, which could damage the paint. I never did manage

Re: [RBW] Re: Threadless Headset Questions

Try changing the height of your bars on the road with a threadless stem. If you set it up correctly (extra length in the steerer+ extra spacers), it can be done ... but it will take ten times longer than with a quill stem. OTOH, it’s impossible to get a threadless stem stuck inside the steerer,

Re: [RBW] Re: Threadless Headset Questions

You’re right—I don’t do this often. However, in 2007 when I was near the finish of PBP and suffering from some pretty bad numbness in my hands, it was *so* helpful to be able to raise the stem easily on the road. That took some weight off my hands and allowed me to finish the ride (although my
