I've used DiaCompe 204's on mustache bars with Tektro 720's on a couple of
different bikes. Inexpensive, works great, and the quick release on the
levers is handy.

I wish I had a bike with fork crown rack brazeons, but given how the
struts attach to the Mark's with pivots, I'd guess that a Mini mounted
to the fork crown hole would actually be stiffer/stronger, no? Why did
you chose the Mark's for a cantilever bike?

Here is a photo of the setup you are looking for (but on a Mini, which
has the same platform as a Mark's, n? If you use the light mount
intended for the fork crown hole, it should be dandy.

The Kevlar ones have DoubleDefense, the wire ones RaceGuard puncture

folding bead weight advantage. Nice to see that the XR is back in a

I don't know if that question was for me or not, but I've had the Mark's

Hola,
I purchased a black Brooks Swift saddle off this list about a year ago and
I'm finding it's not my favorite.
I'd like to trade it for a used B17 Champion in either black or green...but
I'd entertain honey or antique brown.
It's well broken in and is quite moldable to ones sit bones. Here
I've used DC 204, Tektro R200, and reverse pull levers with mousy ache bars. My
favorite combo if the reach is shortish is the beefy R200 and riding primarily
stretched out on the hoods. With a longish reach I like the reverse pull
levers, so you can brake with your weight back and have that

Dear Riv Group;
This past Sunday October 23, 2011, we celebrated cycling with a Tweed Ride

I was fortunate enough to enjoy the beautiful day and rode A. Homer Hilsen.

They say that happiness is best when shared. Riding your bike with a
group of friends pretty much sums this up pretty well. A group of
friends and I have random rides sometimes to a event, or a new place
to but every once in a while we have a Jersey Ride. Where we ride for
the sake of just riding.
And enjoy seeing them I did! What a great showing!

After 8 years of commuting on the WOD, the last 4 daily, I finally
invested in studded tires this year. While it is true that the number
of days when studded tires are absolutely necessary is limited, those
days tend to come in blocks of 3-4 days or a week at a time. It
doesn't take much to feel
No sway is encouraging - I may try this!
Should I worry about the longevity of the leather straps?
How did you manage to keep the straps from sliding down the rails?
