a little off topic (sorry) but I am looking for something like this that

Great point Steve. As it is, I was able to get the parts in position,

Also I didn't want to attempt to install my breaks while I was

short. So, today I will get grease, re-thread everyt
Spend that $30 on a Brooks saddle cover for the WTB?
If you changed your bar tape to gray or black "modern" cushioned tape and
deleted the twine, the WTB saddle would probably look fine as is.

Thanks for the comments. My brother, who has a vast experience of old

It seems like a cool bike to have in an N+1 bike fleet, but if you intend
to log serious time on it and the geometry doesn't seem to work for you,
then passing is a wise decision. You are much wiser than I am when it comes

If this is a dumb question, I apologize, but which tires do you have on the
Atlantis, and what tire pressures do you ride on?
I was just wondering how much road vibration was maybe an issue with your
Brooks saddle?

Doug,
It has me really looking at all online platforms, what I've noticed is that
they all have extensive user agreements (written obviously by lawyers) that
remove them from having any liability whatsoever. You can't use a site

Same for me on my Gunnar StreetDog.
I've had Phil track hubs on that single-speed for 15 years now, I don't
ogre (love the word in this context!) tighten them either, although I
tighten them firmly.
And they've held fine.
You are talking the rear hubs that have 6mm hex head bolts, yes?
Dave
The most common applications for bolt on Phil Hubs are BMX and trackbikes
which both, almost by definition, have horizontal dropouts.
I don't remember the exact layout of your dropouts, so I will just throw
out there that the only bike that I ever had a serious slipping problem had

I use SS Phil hubs on my Surly steamroller and custom titanium CX bike.
Both have horizontal track ends. Both have held perfectly for years after
much abuse. I've had QR's slip on those same frames, but never the bolts.

Curious what the credit card company's reason was, I guess PayPal did not
tell you that? Seems like it would almost be better to *not* use PayPal
and get some other credit card clearing service that gave you more of a
voice in the process.
I think the A23 (same width) & Atlas (same style box construction) fit as 2
better, distinct rims compared to the Synergy, and the Dyad as a happy
medium between an A23 & Atlas. While I like supporting Riv & Rich, I wish
Velocity could sell the 650b Dyad to all shops. My LBS can generally get me
The Atlas is a lot heavier than the Synergy at 610gr, so not really a
direct replacement. They do have a similar physical appearance though and
I have a bike in the stable that has a front Synergy and a back Atlas and
it's not noticeable unless you examine the rims closely. I peeled off the

I'm riding on Pasela Tourguards 26x1.50 tires. I generally inflate them to
about 60 lbs, but have also ridden them softer. It's not the road vibration
or bumps that gets me. The saddle ends up feeling like cement. It becomes
hard to sit on.

Phils are definitely designed for horizontal dropouts so I doubt you'll
have any issues. If you do have slippage, Phil also makes oversize axles
bolts+washer kits called "chrome domes," specifically for bikes with
chromed dropouts. I think they also ship stock on their SS mtb hubs.
