I had a string of tubes failing at the valve stem. I think it was
caused by the tube creeping when the tire pressure was too low.
Sometimes it was a hole, sometimes it was more like the valve attachem

When planning a ride up the tramway, take a look at the times of
moonrise / moonset also. We had the good fortune to come down the
tram a couple of hours after moonrise, on a full moon. During the
winter, the air is cold clear and the moon can light up the valley
in spectacular fashion.

The reasons for the proprietary bolt circle are simple: None of the
common bolt circles allow useful combinations like 48-32 and 46-30.
That's not exactly true as stated. Some of us run 94/58 triple cranks as
compact doubles. Perhaps that doesn't qualify as common but there are at
least a

I've not heard of any WI failures either and I live 15 miles up the

In which case four failures are relatively few.

Hi,
I have a Nitto Big Front Rack on my Hillborne and would like to mount
my BM Cyo on the side of the rack, ahead of where you'd normally hang

the rack, which does not seem ideal for me. Are there any well made
clamps or
Why not ideal? I mount a Supernova there on my Atlantis, and it works
extremely well -- never any blockage of the beam, which is at a good height and
provides excellent illumination. Here's a side pic:

Highly recommended!

The RH cranks are probably outstanding. I see the Sugino OX801D as
functionally similar - low Q, low weight, 46/30 or similar chainrings.
The differences relate more to one's personal taste:
- classic vs modern appearance
- square taper BB vs Hollowtech/outboard bearing BB
- silver vs choice
- silver vs choice of silver/black
Don't forget the Sugino offers the choice of BLUE RED or *GOLD *chainrings,
too! I'm sure Steve Palinscar's MAP would look just delightful with
colorful chainrings. Kidding! Kidding!

Not at all. The main draw for the RH cranks for me is the ability to run
48/30, 48/28 but the Sugino OX801D can only go down to 34 like regular old
110 cranks.

Not true, the Sugino OX801D takes a 110mm big ring, and can take a 110mm
small ring OR a 74mm small ring. They come stock with 14 different

Thanks for the correction. So 90 bcd cranks can go as low as 28 AND the OX801D
is a 90? Sweet! Any other suggestions besides the OX801D that are good
