I have a lightly used polished aluminum SON 28 32h hub to trade for either a polished aluminum SON 28 36h or SON 20R 36h. There are at most 500 miles on the hub. The bike was stored indoors day and night. Urban, paved road riding only. Thinking the best way to work with be an equal exchange

I did a 300k last year and one of the riders completed it riding on his homemade folding bike with 20 wheels wearing wool trousers and a pair of Oxfords. Here's a picture from a 100k although these trousers appear to be cotton. http://www.flickr.com/photos/natearm/417907869/ On Aug 24, 8:06

This article seems like one argument for using the Rivendell stickers on the downtube more liberally, instead of limiting it to the customs. Would have been a good bit of free advertising. Sure would be nice if they'd do this with the Roadeo. Sigh. Dustin From: jaybmc...@gmail.com

Hi, group, I just installed a set of tektro R538 big mouth 57 brake calipers on my wife's Ebisu which should take 700x28C tires with fenders. However, because the bottom of the caliper arms stick out below the brake bolt quite a bit to further limit the tire clearance. Currently the bike has

Yes Franklyn, you make perfect sense to me. Many of us have read GP's thoughts on placing the brake hole, and his belief that a lower hole extends brake clearance. For single pivot brakes this is completely true because the brake arms stay at or above the pivot/bolt. But dual pivot brakes, as

Michael, thanks for the advice, that's helpful. The paul racers reach range is 57mm and larger, and her bike's front brake reach is 52mm, so the racers won't work. I know for sure that there was one prototype Paul made for Rivendell that had shorter reach (i have pictures from a previous owner
