The market is speaking very clearly to me with its deafening silence.
Therefore I am dropping the price of my remaining bags for sale. Please note
that these bags are so lightly used that they are as like new as you can get

I would set up one bike for the generator lighting for now and not
touch it. Get another light system for the other bike or use it in
warmer weather. When you start connecting and disconnecting routinely
you are asking for problems IMHO.

You need to use the anti-corrosion grease made for electrical

Regarding Cyo, how does it hold up under bucketing rain? Does it take

I wondered about this also when I received my Open Pro rimmed wheels
for my SimpleOne. I mounted what I had laying around, Panaracer
Paselas (700x35) and pumped them up to 80 psi. I'm thinking of making
a switch to a more flat proof (but not heavy) tire for commuting on
glass strewn streets. 700x35

Felt very nice and it didn't itch. Also, rode for the first time with a pair

Wow! I too had remembered this from an old reader but didn't know that there
were actual rims and tires around. Have/are 609mm BSD tires (been) used by
any other makers? Or did Schwalbe basically make the tires on spec for
Rivendell? Are the rims branded?
I guess if you're going to have such
I had a similar conversation with Grant last year. At that time, grant said
that Riv had both Rims and Tires on hand. It's a Schwalbe tire that they
had/have. If you look at the Schwalbe site I think they have only one 609
model.

My incident was just how Lee describes it. I had heard there was a
rash of Richmond/Inner Sunset bike thefts and made steps to secure
them. All three bikes where ulocked to each other and the bunch was
tethered to a beam in my garage. Two other bikes where in the garage,
unlocked and untouched.
When I read these two "knothole" items, I figured there'd be a whole mess of
speculation on here
