I.never thought I would EVER ss ride.
But I recently changed to DT shifters on my bike. Too lazy to frequently reach
down and shift, I shift less than ever, learning to ride in easier/harder gears
without blowing up my legs. I can now see how one could manage ss riding in
hilly terrain.
Good thinking! Nighttime visibility is extra important in rainy Portland
because everyone's windshield is fogged up.
I got a $12 light (USB rechargable!) for my hub that allows people to see me
from the side. I commute on lots of side streets and this really helps. This is

Well there were many admirers of the All Rounder at the swap meet this
weekend but no takers. If anyone here is interested in the bike and can
help me figure out how to ship, I am willing. It is a nicely setup bike in
great shape completely ready for commuting or multi-surface adventure
rides.
The wheel is sold with pending payment.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the link Joe. I’m going to try the twine thing soon. Deacon Patrick,
it’s hard to see how you did the wrap but the photos of your excursion are
awesome. Is that an Albastache bar?

First - I thought you’d passed on the ENO? If you’d still like to wait and see,
I’ll put it back in the box till after Xmas-ish.
Second and third - that’s my experience of fixed off-road, too. It’s an
advantage that people think is a detriment, so the random awe of strangers
seems unearned.
Here ya go. Excellent soundtrack, too.

There's a bar-wrapping video from Mark somewhere on the Riv site. He wraps to
the lever, cuts, then starts a new wrap on the other side. This eliminates the
baffling figure-8 stuff going around the lever, which drives me crazy. Of
course I never would have thought of it myself ;-)

Lowest Common Gear is the one gear every bike comes with. Even without a bike,

I've struggled with Barlow Pass on Synergies. The issue wasn't getting them
on, it was getting the tire to seat evenly all the way around when inflated.
Based on previous threads, I believe this is a rim issue. As for A719s,
they've been very easy every time. I was mounting Smart Sams and

I am also curious as to whether you already have fixed experience. You seem to
have taken to it immediately, almost without a transitional learning phase.

There's a product Stan's No Tubes sells just for this problem as I've
encountered this with setting up tubeless. Can't remember the name but a
small bottle with applicator rubbed on the rim/tire and whatever the liquid
really does help with getting the tire on. Take a look.
