If you're in the bay area check out Narain's Outdoor Sewing and Fabric in Berkeley. They do good solid work and I've even had them turn down a job they didn't think they could do right. (Which is a good thing.) They can seem a little expensive. But it's good to support the American workers and

You say the zipper broke. Do you mean the slider? Are the teeth still in good shape? Replacing sliders is easy. I'd suggest the book, "the essential outdoor gear manual" by Annie Getchel - http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Outdoor-Gear-Manual-Equipment/dp/0071357122 Also, handsewing really isn't th

So the zipper on my Hobo Bag broke whilst on tour last month. This seems like something one could replace (preferably with a metal one) but I'm not really sure how to go about it. I don't think I can do it myself, I assume one needs a sewing machine. So any suggestions? -Robert --~--~-

This is all very interesting. I have bad fork shudder on one of my bikes (with Shimano BR-R550's). I bought one of those fork mount cable hangers a while ago because I changed headsets and wasn't sure if the hanger would fit. I'm going to try the fork mount hanger and see if it solves the probl
