Good to know... I think I'll do the same during my upcoming trip to the US (buy Schmidt lighting wire + fancy quick disconnects). Sad that I have to go to America to buy German parts, because I am still not sure about how to ask for these things in European bike shops.

Re: [RBW] Re: AHH 2.0 w/ Modern Looking Nitto Rack
It's news to me that center pull (or, for that matter, cantilever) brakes have a complicated cable routing that interferes with handlebar bags. I have had four bikes with such brakes, two with center pull (one bolt-on Mafac Raid, the other brazed-on Paul Racers) and two with cantilevers (wide profile old-time Shimano Deore XT) that I've used the largest size Berthoud bags with, entirely without problems due to cable routing. The last time I had the bike with brazed-on Paul Racers serviced, I had the pads changed and in the process the LBS managed to totally ruin the feel of the brakes: spongy beyond belief. I brought the bike back, and a more experienced mechanic was able to restore the original feel (without excess squeal, by the way) in a matter of a few minutes. I'm not sure I'd call that fussy on the part of the brakes; it's possible to misadjust most things if you are incompetent. On 08/04/2013 11:09 PM, ted wrote: Thanks for the info.

The rack works fine with my size 11.5 feet and my Arkel Utility Basket rear bags. I do wish I could mount it lower without havint to cut it but the mounting tang gets hung up on the rear quick release. I mat still make the cut in the future, we'll see.

[RBW] Re: AHH 2.0 w/ Modern Looking Nitto Rack
Thanks! I really like the Hold Fast straps and have them on a second bike as well. Clipless SPD always seem to aggravate an old running injury in my knee, so these are a welcome solution for me. I like pedal retention but I also like being able to ride in most any shoe in my closet. I am looking forward to warm feet this winter!

I'm thinking of getting them for my winter fixie commuter (instead of traditional toe clips and straps, which have totally rusted out now). --shoji -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Here are a couple of bad photos of how I did it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/76454470@N05/8358830287/ It was a pretty simple job and I did not get worked up about it being pro level work. I removed the existing light's internals, sawed the Supernova tail light mounting tabs off so it would fit inside the housing, ran the wire out the back and used a heavy duty 2 part epoxy to attach the light the the back plate of the housing. after the epoxy cured. I surrounded the light w/ silicone to take up some dead space and to help adhere the light as well. Since I run my wire's externally, I ran the wire over the fender and down the fender stay.

Looks very nice. Pray tell, what about the function of the Tektros do you prefer over that of the Paus's?

The Pauls while stiffer, were more of a pain to get set up correctly. I seemed to be forever between spongy feel and squealing like mad. I did have them working well and then I swapped the wheelset to the current one w/ different rim widths and profiles and had to re-adjust again. Frankly, I am lazy when it comes to this kind of thing. Also, the Pauls required more complicated cable routing and it got in the way of the handlebar bag. I toyed with the idea of getting them brazed on but just figuerd it would be better to go ride the bike rather than turn it into a shrine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Brian: See if you can get the fender rack struts to share the lower (rear) mounting eyelet. If you look at the Nitto strut, the second hole is directly above the lower one, so you can drop the rack perhaps an inch (?). The way the rack strut angles, you have to start cutting it to the rest of the holes. That then moves the rack forward. I'm still playing with my R-26 on my 58 Atlantis. I'm trying to get it as low as possible for clearance at the seat and have been reluctant to cut the struts. Hard to take a hacksaw to a $150 chrome plated rack. dougP On Sunday, August 4, 2013 6:50:50 PM UTC-7, Brian Campbell wrote: I made some changes to my AHH.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard the paul racers were fussy that way. Well I knew how the cable routing differed, but the other stuff, not so much.
