Re: [RBW] Re: Carradice Super C Pannier question

+1. I bought a pair of Super C front panniers from SJS and paid a small fortune in shipping. Buying from Carradice directly can result in lower shipping costs, but SJS seem to have lower prices on the same items, so paying the higher shipping can more economical than buying direct. SJS is

[RBW] Re: WTB Shimano 9 speed STI shifters

I can't vouch for them personally but I have read that the Sora R3000 9spd shifters are pretty good considering their price point. Not fancy looking but they do apparently perform well. KJ On Friday, February 22, 2019 at 5:08:27 PM UTC-8, dylan alverson wrote: > > Looking to try out

Re: [RBW] Re: Carradice Super C Pannier question

They'll last you decades. SJS is a great company. Good products. Good service. BUT, unless you're willing to pay the shipping you have to keep yourself to small sized purchases. Shipping prices increase exponentially with box size. Craig in Tucson On Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 8:28:45 PM

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for satellite mapping thing

There are some (randonneurs) who find the lack of re-routing if you get off course to be a feature, not a bug. If you’re riding a brevet, it’s against the rules to ride anything but the official route. For randonneuring, you want a computer that has only the official route and seeks to have

Ok, sorry to have assumed that was the case in your situation. I don't know the specifics of your interaction with Riv other than what you've explained, which is that you had less than satisfactory interactions, and bought a bike from not Rivendell. I assumed an order which I now know was

Re: [RBW] Re: No response from Riv ...

I dislike assuming a critical customer's motivations as much as I do a complaint without full context. I think it's fair for everyone to take a breath, back away from their keyboards and go for a walk. [image: duty_calls.png] On Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 7:49:51 PM

Re: [RBW] Re: No response from Riv ...

Perhaps it's best to understand the full picture before making such assertions, Darin. I had spoken to Rivendell for several weeks with every intention of purchasing and shipping a bike to Australia. In fact it was the lack of help/feedback from them that actually encouraged me to look elsewhere

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for satellite mapping thing

The ELEMNT doesn’t do that—it won’t recaculate anything, it’ll just beep and flash at you that you’re off course. It’s more like a hugely featured cyclocomputer of old, which is I think why so many people like it. It’s solid & reliable, the display is as easy to read as you want to make it, and

I think I remember that you bought your Clem used from a member here, right? I wouldn't expect much in response from any company about their goods I bought used. Rivendell's are unique and exciting and may make you want to reach out to them directly for help or whatever, but your purchase of

Anybody on the list out there today? I saw 3 or 4 Hilbornes and a blue Cheviot with a grey tweed Carradice. Must've been at least one grey Clem in the mix, but a lot harder to ID that one going in the other direction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Re: [RBW] Secu clips for front fender

I second Patrick's "shove hard" advice, with the added suggestion of squeezing the two stays together while you do it. It makes the loop in the stays where they meet slightly narrower and thus slightly easier to get back into the mount. Daniel M Berkeley, CA -- You received this message

Re: [RBW] Secu clips for front fender

Your problem may not be the one I experienced just a bit ago, but I popped the stays out of my clips a month or 2 ago when installing my 65s, and found that I could "not" get the stays back in place. Went online; scuttlebutt was: "shove 'em hard." Shoved; perhaps used pliers for better grip --
