Re: [RBW] New Year's Eve Wine Run
Excellent use of the Saddlesack! Now I really need one. -JimD On Jan 2, 2011, at 9:05 PM, Peter wrote: I have been a long time lurker and my new years Bike resolution is to finally contribute to this group!

Here is a photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/56340...@n08/5318948658/ For much of the past year I had the Sam set up as a go fast. It was fenderless with pari-motos. I love the tires. They got me through the 2010 California Death Ride without a flat. (They were also the widest tires I saw that day...) The bike also handled really well. I have never felt so confident descending before. Now that I am no longer training for a big event I have converted the bike back to a commuter. I try to ride a few days a week from my house in El Cerrito to my office in Oakland. I re-mounted Schwalbe Marathons and installed some VO Zepplin Fenders. I also mounted a nitto rack in the rear. I use a small trunksack up front and a Medium Saddlesack in the rear. I love the set up. (Although I must say – I am not mechanically inclined and mounting those damm fenders took me at least 7 or 8 hours and I am still not sure I did it right. Thank god Hiroshi at Jitensha talked me out of the Honjos. Mounting them may have killed me.)
