[RBW] Re: Tested 6 pairs of 700c (29in) tires - results and impressions

When I put on my Compass tires for the first time I sure as heck noticed the difference. Vittorias always seemed harsh and uninvolved. Compass smooth engaging. Not sure how those impressions could be measured under controlled conditions with power impressions. On Sunday, September 6, 2015 at

Are you using the stock Tektro pads? I found I had really bad brake judder with Tektro CR720 cantis and Koolstop Salmon pads, but when I swapped back in the stock Tektro pads, the problem went away. Anton velolumino.com somervillebikes.wordpress.com On Sunday, September 6, 2015 at 12:23:02 PM

Manny, Looks like you may have to wait for the "*Wald Unobtainium*". What about wood? (http://bentbasket.com/) This was designed by one of our graduates while he was a student our program. He kept at the project for a couple of years after he graduated and launched it on Kickstarter.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS - 61cm Atlantis, complete.

Interesting observation about the worn middle ring. I had annoying chain suck on my Atlantis, & managed stop a couple of times before it had jammed. It looked like the chain was "hanging up" on the middle ring, failing to release. The ring didn't look that worn. Later I replaced both the

David, Recent chain suck problem solved. I had 3 - 4 cases in the last couple months, but in preparation for (possibly) selling, I took the middle ring off and inspected it carefully. Noticing what looked like shark teeth - (funny how hard that is to detect while mounted on the crank!) - I
