I bought two sets of X - O shifters (aka Silver 2) today at RBW HQ. One set is
going on barcon pods and the other on the IRD stem shifter mount. I’m going to
put one set on my Atlantis but I haven’t decided which set. I’m leaning towards
stem shifters.

I've got a 650b wheelset built by Analog that uses quill rims. They are
fantastic rims and incredibly stiff. The first rims that I could actually
feel a difference in especially when climbing out of the saddle. And you're
right! They are very wide and can handle whatever your riv frame could fit
Thanks for the advice, mine is a non-canti version with centerpull brakes.
Think I'll try the Mark's rack

I suppose that if you can read my post you can click on my name and get the

I now have a 62 MIT Atlantis frame. I'm gonna order a new Rich-built

I'm leaning toward Quill because they fit a wider range of tires, esp.
narrower ones in case I want to go crazy and fender it. Also, Quills are
lighter by a pound, seem to be

Haha, Joe, I don’t know about *that.* More likely is that I just don’t know
what the heck I’m doing and prefer it that way. 🤣 But Mas, you look like you’re
handling that front load really well, so there’s hope for the OP! (And sorry
that your bike tipped over; I shudder.)

Many of the bike shops in Seattle have shifted more to
maintenance/repairs. Lucky for them, an astounding number of bicylists
(present company excepted, of course) barely know how to add air to their
tires, let alone do anything more complicated.

A year ago I bought an RBW Atlantis frame, but never finished building it
up. When Alex Wirth posted a "For Sale" notice of his remaining RBW bikes,
I fell in love with the Appaloosa, especially the fork crown. Sure, the
Atlantis has a lovely fork crown, but it's the same as the crown on my

Well, I think it depends.
I have been terrifically satisfied with a Mark's Rack M1 on my
caliper-braked Sam...easy setup, looks great, and versatile, should you
want to run a small bag instead of a basket. Always worked great, never
failed.
But I overload my basket on a regular basis and haul
Yep, the doohickey is only of use to folks like me who already have Paul
mounts. I'd like to have tried it, but the Silver2 is working splendidly on a
bar-end pod so I don't envision getting the new mount later.

Thank Joe - hopefully one will become available soon! Looks like the
internet it out. But also, didn't Grant or Will say they're coming out
with their own thumb mount in February hopefully? I do hope

The obvious answer is the RBW Nitto basket rack, but spending $250 to hold up a
$20 basket seems antithema.
My recommendation and a solution I've used regularly is a SOMA Lucas or Lucas2
rack. Inexpensive and well made.

The answer though, at least for the time being is Microshift. Surly's have come

Interesting generalization of the connection between tool technology and

There's a lot of stuff in the Blahg post. I'm glad I took the time to read

It's been mentioned here a couple times already, but it doesn't have to be

the reasons that Patrick M. and Mark R. are stating. There's a
I like the constructeur front rack from Velo Orange. I have it on multiple

on the rear and used it as a saddlebag support. Works great.

Thanks guys. I've ridden studs when I used to commute in town, but now
that I live rural (with a much longer commute), the roads seem to have way
less glaze ice. So I think it's worth the foray into supple knobbies
instead of jumping right to studs. Enjoy the brisk weather no doubt coming

I expect you have the problem I frequently find myself with which is the bike I

flat fixed or some other maintenance done! 🤣
