John, I do the same with my saddles, though I don’t feel the rivets (I ride a Rivet Diablo and a Berthod Apin). I’m comfortable with my saddle exactly where it is, and simply shift positions for long steady climbing (no pace lines for me though), compared with cruising or descending. Perhaps try

Troublesome, at best, since (IME with Stan's and Slime; haven't bothered with OS) the sealant dribbles out and is hard to clean off, and keeps the patch from adhering. Much easier simply to remove the locknut on "non-removable" cores and fill that way. On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 4:26 PM, 'Clayton' v

Yes I ignore that rating. I have put a gallon of milk in that combo. I have put a 21 pack of cans there. But if you want to put 10kg in there every day for longer stretches, you might look into a more sturdy rack, but for short trips here and there, I have found it sufficient. Edwin On Friday,

With the Atlantis you can use the Nitto 32F model that mounts solidly at the fork legs and center hole. I believe the 4.4 lbs. rating Riv lists for that one is an error, it should be applied to the Mark's Rack which mounts on a slider. I think the 32F with a strap around the bars will be fine ca
