Thank you, Garth! I hoped if I held out long enough someone would come through with a site that offers "bush shirts" in 100% rayon. This site looks very promising. On Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 10:55 AM Garth wrote: > Try this place Patrick, I've never shopped there but the do have what > appears a "m

This just in: The size 10 American $20 Target plimsolls (bought, again, for clips and straps off road) are *very* big for 10s, and *very* wide. They are much bigger than the size 11 Specialized "2FO" SPD shoes I bought earlier in the summer. A 9.5 would have been better, and I daresay they run 2 fu

Hey John, Thanks for writing. A little push is welcomed by me. I gave it a crack maybe two weeks ago with atj ~127 mm wide spindle. As I tightened down the bolt into the driveside crank, the 30T inner ring crept closer and closer to that curved chainstay that I love. I thought about not cranking

Agree on the minimalist shoes and flat pedals. I wear Xero shoes. They are wonderful and grip well. Enough sole but not too much. On Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at 11:58:17 AM UTC-4 thoma...@gmail.com wrote: > I have to second the recommendation for Merrell Trail Glove shoes for flat > pedal rid

Yep, good handy material to have around. I added supports to my trunksack with it because it was a bit too floppy when empty. Always plentiful in recycle bins and piles. --ben On Wed, Aug 25, 2021 at 11:30 AM Pam Bikes wrote: > > The signs on the side of the road are usually coroplast. Use o

I'd like to finally get around to doing a Riv ride Sun Sept 5th Labor Day weekend. It'll be a long, slow ride and I'll bring along my S24O set up in case anyone would like to see it. I'd like to see other people's gear as well. I love to get ideas from other people. I'm thinking about 40 mil

The signs on the side of the road are usually coroplast. Use one of those if it's not being used anymore - think an event that has past... Reuse and it's free. On Tuesday, August 24, 2021 at 11:35:47 PM UTC-4 Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY wrote: > Seems like you’ve got your necessary measuremen

I have to second the recommendation for Merrell Trail Glove shoes for flat pedal riding. I’d been having all sorts of weird foot numbness and, after noticing that my PT was wearing Lem’s and asking about “foot shaped shoes”, went to try some on and ended up with some clearance Merrell Trail Glov

I bought a pair of Merrell Trail Glove minimalist trail running shoes to try with my bike (has bmx pedals). They are super light and have a "rock plate" in the sole that makes it stiff over the arch of the foot. It basically makes it better for supporting your foot on flat pedals. Typically t

That looks like a quintessential Clem decked out as Grant envisioned. Even the scratches on the fenders are apropos. I doubt you'd find a complete build nicer than that specimen. Doug Athens, Ga On Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at 9:25:57 AM UTC-4 Andrew Huston wrote: > Yes! Many thanks to the n

Yes! Many thanks to the numerous notices I received about the posting. I have reached out to the seller and waiting to hear back. eBay is not my favorite medium for discussions but such is life. I will report back, hopefully with good news! On Tuesday, August 24, 2021 at 10:14:50 PM UTC-4 Bicy

Hey Matthew, Did you get the width of your axle figured out for your double crank? If so, I'd like to hear (and see) how your build came out. Cheers, John On Friday, July 9, 2021 at 1:09:13 AM UTC+9 Matthew P wrote: > Awesome John. > Neat crankset. I'm almost done building up my Toyo Atlantis.
