Stock Ram for sale. I'm in Nashville TN but willing to ship at buyers expense. Reasonable offers considered. I had no idea about the value of this but decided to start at $2,250 knowing it takes a willing buyer and a willing seller. Carey Rogers careyrog...@comcast.net

Chris, There are some books that are so enriched by the audiobook version. For instance, I’ll never buy David Sedaris’ books on iPad/paper. Only audio because he reads them and his delivery is just perfect. I also get annoyed by some narrators, so, understood there, too.Doug - I’m gonna check this

Any of the fenders you list will do the job. In my experience SKS require the least amount of effort to fit while still achieving a good fender line. You don't indicate if you're installing the fenders yourself but if so and you're a first timer keep in mind metal fenders require patience -

Thanks everyone! Seems like I'll probably go Gravelking Slick non-plus. The price is nicer, too. I'll read up on Cavas, though. Thanks David and Johnny. Patrick, I haven't used ultra-light Rene Herse, but my standard-casing knobby 26x2.3 Rene Herse tires do weep through the sidewalls. Not

I imagine there may be many stories among us of shipping mishaps. I have found the Bike Flights folks quickly responsive. The shippers themselves, however, do not always seem to take care of what is being shipped. In two cases in the past year, the box on arrival had clearly been broken open

I think it could be really useful to the group, and maybe to you, if you could describe what problem you are looking to solve. The implication is that you have decided you need higher gearing, because you ride too fast for the gearing that is on the Clem. Depending on what tires you are

Ease of set up? My favorite is PDW fenders. And they come with quick release tabs. For looks on a Riv? I’ve used all 3 and they all look good. Can’t say I have a preference. Just get whatever is on sale. On Monday, July 8, 2024 at 7:07:10 PM UTC-6 F Mac wrote: > Hi folks, I'm looking for

My Sam came as a 2x9 with 26/38 rings on a Suguino XD2 crank, and a Claris FD. I went to 3x9 with 26/36/46 by replacing the bashguard. The Claris FD was NOT capable of handling the 3x. After trying a number of things and learning a lot about FDs and chainlines, I went to a Shimano Sora FD-3030
