I don’t know the rider at all, but I’ve been really happy with a 90 mm stem and
Billie Bars. If you plead with Kai on this List, he likely has the only pair
available Billies in the world. Sold out everywhere. Otherwise, Boscos will do
just fine
Canada shipping is fun!
It would be interesting to see how the brakes felt with non-Paul levers but
I'll say this: I had the Paul levers first (replacing Shimano) with the
Shimano XT v-brakes that were on the bike and there was no difference in
feel and modulation. All the change was in
Great upgrade! I would say that it's a little bittersweet that you love
them, because that means I can't buy them for my Hillborne, but I think

I went with the Seahawk since the brim was similar in width to other hats I’ve

Hey Doug. I'm in the humid south as well and will vouch for the Hydroflask
bottles being great for the heat and humidity. They don't sweat so you can
throw them in a bag with your phone/stuff without worrying about moisture.
If cold, room temp, or hot water is your thing it will keep it that
Curious to know when model you purchased, Robert. Nice that they offer
different brim widths. I purchased the Firebird V2. I like the hat shape
(5 panel sports crown) of it and the Raptor V2. More aerodynamic. :>)

Doug, there are a lot of nice handlebar bags out there with different features.
For big bottles I like my Oveja Negra the best. For subtle, understated
classiness I like my Cycle Cats products. I don’t thing Greg Newland is making
bags for sale right now. Now that I have these, no one in my
The cold shock response from sudden immersion is a recognized phenomenon that
is emphasized a lot in boating safety courses, hence the mantra “dress for the
water, not the weather.” I’m not aware of a similar danger from drinking cold
water, although so-called ice cream headache is possibility…
And I specifically avoid insulated water bottles because someone convinced
me once that cold water, particularly on a hot day, is a shock to the
system. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Because running low on water stinks, I use a 48oz nalgene bottle in my
Mojave cage with a 32oz backup in the summer or on a longer ride. Works
well in my large triangles, maybe less so on smaller frames. The larger
bottle also provides a little more space to blame for the weight of my
bikes.
Leah,
It's hot and humid here in the sticky south so I go through lots of water
too. I like the handlebar bag/pouch idea and may look at one of those.

Thanks Rich! Now that I've seen Mike's orange spring tensioners I'm
thinking some red ones on my custom would be sweet. Cuz apparently I

To answer your question, Yes. I used Motolites on a 26" wheel Atlantis for
a 650b conversion. Worked fine.
Joe, the red cable end caps are a nice touch!
Best,

Thanks to everyone for reaching out and picking up some parts. Here's

02. Nitto Dirt Drop stem, 8cm x 25.4mm: $45

Yes, you got me thinking about bottles and cages but I wanted to start a

My preferred headwear is a wide brimmed cloth hat, like a boonie hat, when
riding. Too much sun in my youth means battling minor skin cancer spots on
the face, temple and ears. Last week I came across an add for a company
call Shelta Hats that makes boonie style hats with a stiffener in the

Nevada's got a lot to love, as do these bars, but I kept gravitating
forward and to the center of these bars because I couldn't get them quite
as forward as I wanted, so the wonderful width was lost on me. Nobody's

There's certainly room on the post to run 700c on my 650b bike, but then
you start running out of room for the tire under the cable. Maybe a skinny
road tire would fit.

I read that you can use them to run different wheel sizes assuming you star
with a 26 inch wheel. Anyone try it? And would the higher pad position affect
performance. I’d imagine it would introduce some flex. Any insight?
