I'm curious of those who bring a small SLR or mirrorless camera on trips,
have you found a good way to carry it so you have it ready quickly? I've
always used a small point shoot kept in a pocket or the small pocket in
my acorn boxy rando bag. I'm looking for a way to have a larger camera
ready
I've been commuting for the past few weeks with one of the new Rene Herse
cranks on my AHH. http://www.compasscycle.com/cranks_bb.html I haven't
seen any reviews on this yet, so I figured I would share a few
thoughts/opinions with the group. I'm not really a crankoholic, and have
mainly ridden
Very nice looking bike. That copper color is lovely. The cranks do seem
narrow, but if they feel right to you, and don't rub from flex when you
pedal hard, you have a winner.

I still ride and your review is helpful. I assme that the double could be
converted to triple? I think your 44/28 set up makes a lot of sense,
although I find I much prefer the shifting pattern with a 14 tooth drop
Seem to remember Grant was using a second strap to go around his chest to
keep the camera in place. Tried it, but found it sub-optimal for my riding
style. First, I sweat a lot, and that gets all over the camera. Not a
good thing on a digital. Even my rangefinder looked pretty ugly very
quick.
Brian,
When you say chain line is adequate do you mean OK or that if you had a
110 BB that you would use that?
I experimented with a TA Carmina triple recently purchased from the list on
my Atlantis last week and don't know if it was mental but thought the lower
Q factor felt better than my
Brian,
I'm tempted by these, but hesitant since I have 175 on all my bikes.
I'm curious what tread/q you get with the 107 BB. Did you measure it?
I prefer ALARA Q. (as low as reasonably achievable!) and reasonably for me
includes things like using the wrong spindle taper or crimping my

Chainline isn't that critical when one has multiple cogs on the rear wheel.
Modern chains are designed to be run-off line and to tolerate
$50 each plus actual shipping CONUS.

In its current configuration, the Motobecane has a 44 low gear. That was
enough to get up the steep parts ... with a few stops.
As Grant says in Just Ride, it's possible to make do with fewer gears by

luxury compared
How ready to go are you thinking of? a rando-bag is the natural option,

I think the new Herse crank is even nicer than the Pro 5 Vis that I
use on my Rivs, AND they have modern hardware and adequate room
between outer ring and inner arm for modern derailleurs. If I ever get
a nice derailleur bike, those will be at the top of the list.

I've always wondered what exactly people mean when they say they feel
more at one with the bike if it is a fixed gear. I've always
suspected this was bogus, but then I though riding fixed on the road
was bogus, too, until I first tried it some 15 years ago.

Hi Rex,
I use mostly two positions on my Albatross:

- on the flats just inside the bend (I think I can, I think I can)

Sometimes coming down steep dirt roads I lock fingers around the brake

Ryan - the Q is 142mm on this guy with the 107BB.
Mitch - I wouldn't use the inner chainring with the outer cogs, but if you
would, you may want the 110-113 BB to get it out a bit more. I don't have
any noticeable rub in the gears I typically use. I'm happy with the 107.
