Re: [RBW] Re: A Raspberry Racing Platypus and a QuickGrilver Clem Vs.A Roadie on Killer Hill

You guys are funnier than I am. Baby Bear needs a racing Platypus, don’t you think? That green one might do the trick - we need a catchy name. We’ll wait at the bottom of Killer Hill for roadies to appear and then we’ll throw down the gauntlet. Or something. What do you call a gathering of

Not great! There should have been a dropout block in there so it wouldn't crush even if UPS screwed up. I'd do whatever legalities you need with them and take it to a framebuilder to reset the triangle. It's not broken, just a little bendy at the moment. On Monday, March 15, 2021 at 4:49:15

I have “opened up” the clamp on MTB shifters to use on Drops...it works just ok...if you had an accurate way to enlarge the diameter it would be better, If you don’t get them right, they slip. I agree with Joe Bernard, there is so much “leverage” on the brake lever perch that you might stress

Roberta Patrick hit the nail on the head about using liner socks inside a pair of wool socks. I'll add this: The liner should be a very thin polyproprelene sock, like Wigwam Gobi Desert Dri. It wicks the moisture from your skin. Try a thinner wool sock (main sock) to provide space for air
