I just looked at my Sam again.
It looks like an eyelet that hangs down from the brake bridge. Looks like
maybe 4 turns possible, which should be plenty I think.
Looks like no problem, if I can just get the hole drilled in the fender in
the right place and as long as it won't crack around the

Hi Eunice,
I did not know Seth, but when a fellow cyclist is killed riding a bike it
deeply affects me, and I have had a heavy heart ever since reading about
Seth's accident. When I clicked on one of the links to his photos, I saw
several pictures of you, and I felt great sorrow for your

won't pull back far enough away from that big 36 cog to drop the chain on
it.

Try pulling the cable where it runs along the chainstay by hand. If it
shifts up into 34/36 then you may need to take a little slack out of the
cable.

Double check that the gear cable didn't hop out of the cast-in guides on
the bottom bracket. In the work stand I tend to move the shifters unlike I
do on the road and sometimes advance the cable without crank rotation to

I haven't tried shifting by pulling on the cables, but I have tried to

there once I rotate the crank.

What shift lever are you using? Knowing that, I (or several others here)
could give you a very specific step by step procedure to follow.

William,
I am using the Shimano bar end shifters that came off my son's LHT.

You'll find lacing will bring the tension back up nicely and if you do it
well, it will still look classy. You might be very happy with the overall
result of comfort and looks. Just make sure you use the right tool for
making the lacing holes - they need to be perfectly round so they don't

OK, great, that provides an excellent clue. Here is a very common mistake.
Sometimes when you pull OFF the bar end shifter from a bike, the shifter
is in an up position, like it was in the middle of the cassette. Then,
when you reinstall it onto the barend pod you put it in the down
If this were the case, could one switch from index to friction get all
the cogs? Or does incorrect position of the washer alter the travel of the
lever?

The listed max cog for current 105 long cage mechs is 28 teeth..older ones
were 27. I've never seen one rated to 30, and I don't think it will work
with a 34.

William,
That is great info. I could have certainly done that with the washer, I
wasn't even aware of this. I am novice bike mechanic at best. However I
wasn't able to shift into the largest two cogs in friction mode either.

Shawn,
Thanks for these great looking photos. How's the bike working out for you?
How is it on hills? I love looking at your photos, very tempted to buy one,
but concerned if I'm strong enough to ride it on steep hills, whether it
would wear me out or not. Would appreciate a report if you see

Just to prove I could do it and to leave a hectic week in Boulder behind I
decided to try an overnight camping trip with my Yves Gomez. As it happened
it turned into more of an s26o. The flatland campsites were all full so I
decided to head up the mountain where I knew I could find a nice site.
I did it with my Longboards, no problem. I had to cut down a std 5 mm pan
head bolt to fit. I think I used locktight and a lock washer.
