Re: [RBW] WTB: 26” tires about 2.0” to 2.2” - mildly knobbie
Consider Continental’s “Double Fighter”. 1.9” with a bit of knobs, but so comfortable on both asphalt & dry dirt. Reasonable price too, in the $28.00 each range.

Re: [RBW] rack for Wald 139
Have you considered a “Soma Lucas 3”? Approx. $60 I believe. Comes in black and silver. I have one and use it with a 137 and like it a lot. Might work well with a 139. Do keep the amount of weight you might want to carry (for safety) in mind though.

I may pull the trigger on it anyway but wanted to check here to see what users of the 139 are doing to attach it to the fronts of their bikes.I already have an old Nitto R14 "Top Rack" that I know some people have used in the front and zipped a 139 on top. Mine is older and doesn't have any diving board provisions so it's only 4 struts but I assume it's strong enough if installed well. My intention was to use that rack on the rear of the bike though.Any suggestions for a support for the 139 that isn't $288?thanksJS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Thankyou
Hello Brendon, Your report is so interesting. Glad to know and see that you are well. Of particular interest is the trailer hitch on your car. Having never seen this type in the States, could you shed some light? Is the hitch also meant to support a bike rack?

Re: [RBW] Re: Thinking about cycling for me in the future....
Paul, I'm the same age as Bill and feel exactly as he does. Still sharp on the bike versus the car. I commute daily and on the weekends have "joy rides" with my wife on road bikesoften in high-traffic areas. We both frequently remind each other to ride (very) defensively and then focus on holding our lines, always expecting the unexpected from cars and sometimes a fellow cyclist. Perhaps if you found a riding partner or went out with a friendly group would alleviate the apprehension?
