It's pretty neat to see the Joe Custom in the snow... not something I ever expected to see. I went for a ride today that was _supposed_ to become a snow ride based on the forecast, but it was just those tiny frozen pellets that just pummelled my eyeballs but didn't accumulate. However, since my

I should have ridden my Roadini today, but I hadn't planned on the road closure on highway 9 changing my plans --- I ended up riding over the top of Black Mountain instead. The Roadini with 38mm tires would have made short work of the traverse from Montebello Raod to Page Mill road, but instead

I had recommended to Pam via email the Saris Freedom 2 rack, the EX version, which tilts, if she can find one. Otherwise, she could buy the tilting add on and put it together herself, if that’s important. I can open the trunk of my Civic without tilting the rack. Th Rocktmounts Highnoon FC tha

Hi Doug! Yes, it’s waxed canvas with a PE stiffener going all the way around the bag. I think the lining of the interior might be X-pac. Not waterproof by any means, but good enough for me.

Thanks, Luke and Ryan, for the kind comments. There was enough of a break in the rain to take it out for a ride today. I’m visiting my mom in Florida next week, so I won’t get in another ride for a while. The 11 speed friction shifting with Silver bar-ends and my old Ultegra 9-speed RD worked

Paul, thanks for digging deeper. It does indeed look like it would work for me. I'd probably spring for the double bike rack; at $580, it ain't cheap, but it seems comparable, or less expensive, that many options out there. As to the Yakima Raptor: I have had one for 25- or -so years, and it alw

Well done. When Rivendell started their long wheelbase designs, I saw that space as perfect for a bag. Good to see it exists. Is there any coating on the bag facing the rear tire so keep contents dry? Sort of a faux fender? dougP On Thursday, February 23, 2023 at 2:05:10 PM UTC-8 brok...@gmail.
