Thanks to Alex here on the list who sold me some Honjos, I finally have my
wife's Glorius mixte finished! Only took six years, but nothing like pacing
yourself through a project!
btw, here's how I solved my front fender dilemma - had a lot of twist at
the daruma, and the long cantilevered front vibrated like crazy.

My ability to get away will be dependent on what is going on with my

I've been toying with differentiating the hilsen and the romulus some more
and I decided I would try some radically different bars. I had a pair of
these inexpensive arc bars on a tandem and I really liked the position I
ended up in. So I thought I'd try it out on the hilsen.

I like it! I put some similar bars on my Quickbeam a few months and now it
feels really dialed. Flat bars get a bad rap around here sometimes but
they can be just perfect sometimes. I've found that with swept back flat
bars I don't need the stem as high; with drops my bars are just about

I just looked at the beam comparisons from PJW's page -- man, what a good

nearly as good. Today, even the lowly IQ Fly original is pretty damn'

Hi,

term NOS, because 10 years, for example, isn't old stuff to me.

No, what causes problems with lights is the light shining in the eyes, not
the width. The Luxos has a cutoff, which keeps the level of the light
below the eyes of the pedestrians and drivers, so it doesn't blind them...

That makes sense. I have the IQ Cyo R, with the same cutoff, its really
nice but not so wide to disturb the pot smoking teenagers on

Amen to that. In my own one on one with clients experience, very few
clients are true assholes and most problems (mine or theirs) come from
conflicting, unexpressed, and confused expectations. Be careful to

You should be able to feel it if you are shoving the stem's bottom and
the wedge into the butted portion. To be safe, let it drop all the way
down, then pull it up a cm and tighten.
Otherwise, get a stem with a shorter quill.
See also *Hands Up! Adjusting Handlebar
Hold the wheel between your legs whilst you twist and push and pull the bars,
as if trying to force the stem to move in the steerer. If it holds, you should
be ok. If you break it loose, then reposition and tighten as needed.
