I bought them for a Soma mtn bike when I was having some rotator cuff
problems.

Although they enabled me to keep riding by alleviating the shoulder
pressure, I couldn't sell them fast enough when I was feeling better.
That makes sense. I think my thumb shifters and bell may have been in the
way.

I love my Barlow Pass Extralights. The Bon Jon Pass tires came out right
after I bought them and I was disappointed that I missed the opportunity
for thinner and lighter (last road tires I had bought were 23mm on a
Bianchi). Now that I've adjusted to my "fast road tires" being 38mm wide,

Ken,
Installing a retractable clothesline in the garage or laundry room will have
you doubling down on saving the planet. Think of how much more you’ll enjoy
that Appaloosa with all that positive karma onboard!
Enjoy it

Sorry to hear about the accident David. Buy an old house. Based on my
experience, that’ll keep you busy for a solid decade. I’m just wrapping up the
last big project, the kitchen remodel in our 1924 bungalow. We hired some of
it but my wife and I are building the cabinetry ourselves. With a
I’ve got several years on my older, canti Sam and can’t imagine ever giving it
up. I’m always reminded that it’s the best bike I’ve ever owned every time I
ride it. Do yourself a favor. Get a second wheelset. Swapouts are a breeze.
Takes me very little time to swap from road Sam to dirt Sam
If you love the Ergon grips and your brown or honey saddle as much as I like
mine, you can always get the biokork Ergons

I usually observe Adbusters’ annual “buy nothing day” today. Instead, I
decided to swing by Riv HQ this morning and made a new pair of shifters (and
other things) my only black friday purchase. The shifters look fantastic in
person. Can’t wait to get them on the Hillborne.
It was also nice
I replaced my Saddlesack small with a Banana Sax and it’s worked out well.
Unless I needed to carry a fleece or a jacket, I just wasn’t using the space
offered with the Saddlesack. It’s surprisingly large. I hang it on the back
of a Brooks Flyer Special with the springs. I do find that the s
Wow! Wish I’d had that when I was racing mountain bikes back in ‘87.
Beautiful job, James.

I agree. Errands are a great way to get pedaling out in the fresh air. Most
of mine range from 6-8 miles ( hardware, grocery, the occassional doctor appt).
Even my commute is only about 8-10 miles of riding on a Brompton broken up
with a train ride. All these rides start and end on our grave
I also get to appreciate that these rides keep one more car off the road. I
wish our communities had more of that relief, seems cleaner and healthier.

Beautiful photos. Looks great in the graffiti’ed skatepark. What bars are
those?
I love that people are invoking the soda can shim. Fond memories of “Zen and
