Patrick: The narrow mouth caps are screw in to the tops leaving the outside of the top exposed. It looks like the wide mouth caps cover the outside of the top some, so it should keep any kicked up debris flavoring to a minimum. CHEERS! Wally in Maine On Tuesday, January 16, 2018 at 12:12:07

Sinewave had a booth at NAHBS with a nice set-up of the Beacon and battery packed. It seemed to work well for the few flicks of the switch I was playing with. Not that this helps, but as much info as I have for an answer. I had a Son 28 built up this past week. I just need to order the Bea

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg

Adding a dynohub just makes it extremely more useful. I was indecisive for years on getting a dynohub set-up. I've literally lost as many lights on the trail and to aged batteries than I have into a laced up dynohub. After the first night ride out I was so glad for the purchase. No worries

Capable? Ready for anything? INDEED! My dynohub equipped Quickbeam would get me into Isengard then onto Mordor and beyond. A dynohub and light is the Arkenstone for a bike. Yes, even 'My Precious' of an item to have. On Monday, April 29, 2019 at 3:19:50 PM UTC-4, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! w

Patrick, Since you are leaning towards the Schwalbe side of things also consider the Hans Dampf. It's now available in 27.5 x 2.35 / 2.6 / 2.8. A PhD in Rubberology is required though to fully understand all the compounds Schwalbe uses. OOOPS! I just re-read your post. NNs on the way. OK,
