I have Avid V-brakes on my Atlantis, with Kool Stop Tectonic brake pads. They are beefy, and they don't squeak. They have a good feel and are easy to adjust. On Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at 7:46:28 AM UTC-7, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > My stock R559/539 typr hollow shaft snapped upon

I love it! Classical build with a neat mixture of modern components. I also have a couple of of early Stumpies...a TIG frame ‘82 and a lugged ‘83 Sport. I will get to try out non-aero levers for the first time once I finish freshening up an 82 Sequoia. How well do those Bon Jon Pass tires

I had a 2013ish 51 Sage Sam sidepull. I was able to run both Fatty Rumpkin Stouts and the earlier version of the Compass Babyshoe Pass EL with SKS P50 fenders. Not a lot of room with the fenders, but passable especially after I installed Sheldon’s Fender Nuts and switched to Paul Racer

I’ve used 45mm Smart Sams without fenders on my older canti-Hillborne (orange). It might take a 47 tire but it’d tight. When I had a double kickstand on it, the 45’s rubbed when I pedaled hard. The rubbing wasn’t on the frame but it’s still pretty tight near the bb. John -- You received

I’ve taught kids to do both and think that I’d rather give a kid a hatchet before a hammer. Very easy to read off a finger nail or smash a finger tip. YMMV and each parents decision is their own within reason. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

My suggestion would be to get him a hammer, a box of nails, and do a couple of simple building projects together. That lets you see what level of physical coordination he has and also... his approach to problem solving and safety. On Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at 8:36:45 PM UTC-6, Steven
