It should work fine. The problem with the angle of mine results from a
hack to remove the crown mounting tongue from between fender and crown
(for more tire clearance) and shortening and bending and drilling it
for the caliper mounting bolt. I got the tongue a bit too short.
As for fenders, once
A man at our church was hugely obese, probably 400 lb at about 6', for

I could see that being the case because her atlantis would have cantilever

hi all
im selling my quickbeam. every bike has a story and heres is this ones.

I don't own these, but have considered buying a pair of the Tektro brakes
for a winter bike. The Riv photo, with the barkes installed doesn't show
the additional screw. But more importantly how do you like the brakes?
Stopping power? Ease of set up?

With the variety of people and eating habits exercise habits success
and failures with fat-gain/loss, it is easy and normal for the
discussion to lapse into we're all different, because in so many
obvious ways we ARE that. The hope that Taubes offers is based on how
we're all similar...and
Super easy to set up and very strong. I have them on all my bikes.
Gotta replace the pads though.

Agree with rcnute, these CR720 is easy to setup and quite powerful
especially with salmon pads and the straddle cable as low as possible.

I can't remember which bag it actually is - what is the difference between
the mini bar and the kevens? It looks to me like a kevens bag, so that's
why I call it that. Purchased it a few years ago when it was on sale I
think.
The use of the bag was definitely one thing that I learned - it's
Hey Patrick much of it was downhill and I had a tailwind but yea I was
feeling energetic but I have averaged 20 mph for ten miles on rolling
hills (taken from a calibrated bike speedo thing)...these days I just

distances. Keeps
Another plus is that (for me anyway) they seem to work well with non-
aero levers--sometimes it's hard to make those levers work with
cantis. I have some nice Campy and Mafac levers I wanted to use.

Hi,
I've tried a couple of sort of adhoc ways of carrying my yoga mat on my Riv
but they have been awkward. Does anyone have an easy and safe method for
carrying theirs? I'd rather ride to class but end up driving because of
that awkward pound or so of rubber mat.
Cheers,

Platrack looks very possible, thanks as I had never paid any attention to it
before. Andrew thanks too for the sling idea but I want to get it on the
bike so I will be as rested and loose for class as possible upon arrival.
;-)Does anyone know if a platrack will work on a Nitto R14?

Probably not so silly, if you think about why someone would want such
a thing. To move bulky, heavy items short distances? To carry

Tim,
I use the interrupter brakes on my noodle bars and have found that
rolling the mat up and sticking it crosswise through both drops of the
h'bars works well. I have also done it without the interrupters on
another bike, but I don't feel like i have the same amount of control;
totally doable
It's mine and I say it *is* silly. And geared too low. Will change
that; perhaps a high 80s time trial gear.

Well, it's hard to argue with THAT. :-)
Still looks useful to me with the low gear, though.

I have a Nitto made Softride suspension stem from a 1994 MB-1. It is in

My take: I think these are indeed the best straddle hangers out
there. Here's why. You position the hanger for optimum/even pull
from both brake calipers, then you set the screws and secure the
straddle wire so the hanger remains perfectly positioned; without it
the hanger can float and
If lashed to a saddle bag the long slender weight of the mat will
likely put too much torque on the leather straps and the whole thing
will sway too much, at least in my experience.
For short trips you can lay or strap it on the top of the drops behind
the hoods as well. If using a mat it is my
The argument that the Tektro hanger is the best...is a funny argument
at some level, because any decent one from the pas 70 years is 98
percent as good as any other, including this. The Tektro *wins*--my
opinion--the final 2 unimportant percent, because if for any reason
