I agree with your experimental method, especially for non paved roads. My
75% value was an attempt to provide the same protection against snake bits
and ensure the tire does not collapse for a range of total weights and tire
sizes. I forget to mention it was for paved roads.

My buddy had one so bad it offended me - found in the pedal. I've had two
pedal occurrences solved by rebuilding pedals. Have one intermittent now -
disappears after the pedal warms, but there's no free play in the pedal,

Minimum pressure is dictated by two things - enough pressure to protect the
rim from shocks, and enough to prevent hinge at the bead, the cause of
pinch flats. You feel it in your butt if you're getting hinge - the bike

Nathan,
I had a similar insanity-producing click a few years ago. After much
systemic searching, eliminating one variable at a time, it turned out to be
a water bottle bolt that was not lubed and not tight enough.

Ditto to the posters who pointed to the saddle or seat post. I have a Trek
MTB that was driving me crazy with a similar kind of clicking and I was
almost certain that it had to be in the drive train. It kept getting worse
every year. So finally I decided to bite the bullet and start at the fr
Lightly grease all contact points lightly in your seat post. Saddle rails,
seatpost rail rockers, bolt, nut etc. If you have a leather saddle, loosen
the nose nut and grease the tensioning bolt and where the nut hits the
frame body. Grease your seatpost, and seat post clamp bolt too.
As others
I also have a Miyata 1000 for local sale:

My most puzzling click was fixed by greasing the post, too...about 42 years

Hi all. I’ve decided to get a Brooks B17 for my Sam, however, I’m not sure if I
should go with the B17 or the B17 narrow. I’m interested in knowing if height
and weight make a difference or is it simply personal preference? Any
information, advice and sharing of experiences will be appreciated.
I bought a 30" Ottolock pretty much as soon as I saw them available
mailorder. My first one was replaced quickly and easily by Ottolock,
because the default combo didn't work and it was impossible to set a new
combo. The replacement has been flawless so far, though I haven't used it a
ton. Even
I've found it's a mix between anatomy and bike posture. If you have
narrower sit bones (ischial tuberosities) and/or have a more forward

you have wider sit bones and/or have a more upright bike posture then you
may be bette
I’ve always loved the regular b17 on my Sam (3-4 years). When I moved it to my

loved the shape of the regular. I now love having the same seat sprung. It
does smooth some bumps. The only thing I don’t like about it is
Rich S recently had a post on Minimum Tire Pressure: "For those of you who
ride 700 x 32-35 size tires (with tubes) on roads, what is the minimum tire

reported pressures to the press
I had one of these annoying clicks and it stopped after I removed my crank,

@redsydude That's the White River in Indianapolis. I'm not sure what the

Take and apply a few drops of thin lubricant where the springs touch or rub and
on the nut.
That should take care of the squeek.

I used the graphs in the BQ article showing F Berto's work Tire pressure vs

Sorry, Kai. I was typing my previous response as you were sending yours. So,

The sockets on the new Clem lugs are shorter, and point whatever direction they
need to for straight seatstays. If you look at the listing for Clem H at
