I try to teach my wife that but I haven’t been successful yet. She hates being cold and will start off every activity severely overdressed. Ten minutes in and we’ll be stopping for her to shed some layers. And I go back to being slightly cold... Robert Tilley San Diego, CA Sent from my iPhone

I have a few Edgevale shirts and pants and have found the fit to be loose but not baggy. Hopefully this batch holds to that. My Riv fit comment was based on the old RBW shirts - I would be a medium in those. As I have a couple of shirts on the way I hope that fit will hold up on these. If

Paul — There’s an itty, bitty graphic image of a ruler that links to the sizing chart for each shirt. The chambray “Small” is about ¾” larger than the other small shirts. Perhaps because it shrinks in laundering and the others are pre-shrunk fabric? I ordered a Small Railroad short sleeve.

I may be more likely than most group members to use cheap and inelegant solutions. I would look for a reflector bracket that goes on the fork under the headset nut. They used to be used to take the place of the headset washer and often served as an unsuitably flexy cable housing stop. If a big

I would definitely go to 700c/622 myself, both for the tire options and the fact you can fit a little more tire too! Probably 32mm but at least 28mm tires, and since the overall diameter will be pretty much the same as original, geometry will be preserved. -- You received this message

Roberta: If you go with the Nitto rack, be sure that the bag is supported by the straps, not the rack. It can hold a little weight, but its main purpose is to keep the bag from moving around. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy > On Nov

What to wear is very subjective. With that said, when I start out on a ride, if I feel a chill when I start out I’m generally dressed appropriately. If I feel cozy and warm right away, I’ve overdressed and am going to be looking to shed layers in a few minutes. All in all, be chilly for 10

I think I understand the problem. When you install that bag, the back/bottom tilts against the head tube and brake cable? If that's the issue, I solved a similar problem by just getting a piece of flat aluminum piece, 4"-5" long and maybe a 1/2" wide, bending it into a Z shape (with 90
