Aha! OK, so IF I did snatch out the L-bar entirely the O-ring would
fall on the ground, but if I just slide it out past the center tube,
the O-ring stays perched on the tip, I remove the bag and push the L-
bar back in. Is that pretty much it? I get it.
p.s. your Rohlofftonneur is really cool.
The way the tubes are arranged you don't need to pull out the rod all the
way to remove the bag.

The O-ring does not need to be removed and on top of that eliminates rattle

(Of course maybe the cippiola clip helps with rattle too, not sure about

I notice that Henry died last winter and his family is filling order
from remaining stock. Does anyone know how plentiful the stock is? I
sent an email but haven't heard back.

Hey, wondering if anyone out there is using fenders on their Hilsen
with 700x40 Marathon Supremes. I've run 700x40 Marathons on my Hilsen
before and it really didn't want to accommodate fenders. I think Grant
uses fenders with 40s on his Hilsen but it sure looks tight. What
about with Supremes? Do
I agree; I feel insecure without some sort of retention.
Interesting: I went back to clipless (SPD and Look) on my two Rivs,
both fixed gears, and find, even now, after a year, that getting into
the clipless pedals is harder than getting into clips and straps, even
using slotted cleats. (The SPDs
Gola Harriers in Suede. They are indoor soccer shoes, similar in
style to the Adidas Samba but with a durable suede upper and trendy
good looks. :)
They are narrow. So, wider feet need not bother. However, they work
well on the narrowest track pedals and toe clips. Difficult to find
in the USA
Please put this Philly-based rider on the the list as well!

My favorite "shoes" for everything including commuting are the Chaco
Flip leather flip flops. Their only shortcoming is the fact that the
strap is made out of a double layer of very thin nubuck, and my first

judicious use of Proofide.

I have the "Commuter" sandal which has a stiff sole and can accept

Combat boots work well. I've got some older Carolinas, made in the
USA. Summer it is teva and keen sandals. Or anything really.

James,
I am a person whose fingers go numb prior to other body parts getting
cold (even though I live in the south). I have experimented with
several types of gloves/mittens/etc. and found, for me, the most
important thing is to have something to stop the wind. With my hands,

Grey with blue. Recently purchased, one ride. How's 50 bucks and
free ConUS shipping sound?
Would consider trade for MUSA pants in Large size, or MUSA shirt XL.
Wool arm and or leg warmers. What ya got?
Thanks,
Clyde Canter
