Re: [RBW] Re: Best mitten design for very cold weather

The best mittens, hands down - for warmth and cost are the Kinco Ski Mitt . They can be broken in so they aren't super dextrous, but as far as warmth goes, I've used them well into the negatives (-14 up to -20) and every other mitten breaks down at that point,

I started as soon as they could hold their head up to have a helmet on, so typically about 5-6 months. Using a DIY kid seat adapter on my Surly Big Dummy - raving success with all four of my children. https://www.instagram.com/p/Crs5-qwuVxl/ On Friday, September 1, 2023 at 8:58:35 PM UTC-6

[RBW] Ron's Ortho vs. Nitto Albatross

Hi there, I've been using the Nitto Albatross now for over 13 years - and love it immensely. But recently I've been intrigued by the idea of going wider, much wider. Was wondering if any one had made a similar transition and would mind sharing their thoughts, reflections. Thanks hive mind!

Re: [RBW] Your preferred handlebar for longer rides

Albatross for everything. Have done four day tours with them, and short rides. Everything in between. Super super comfortable. On Friday, October 21, 2022 at 10:23:36 AM UTC-6 larson@gmail.com wrote: > In the past I have ridden mostly with drop bars and still do. I have done > some touring

I don't have a Sam - but I do have two Surly front racks and love their ruggedness and function. Perfect for lowrider, and also mounting a basket. On Monday, October 10, 2022 at 3:45:12 PM UTC-6 John Bokman wrote: > I've been super pleased with the Tubus Tara setup on my Sam (converted to >

Weird - I wonder if it was optional - I swear based on that link that I can see dual fork-tip eyelets, but some without. A mystery! On Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at 10:50:55 AM UTC-6 weste...@gmail.com wrote: > Yes, I think that is the original fork. I think the bike on eBay is an > early

[RBW] Re: WTB: Atlantis 61cm Toyo

Is that the original fork? It doesn't have mid-fork brazeons - or eyelets on the top of the axle like most? Odd. On Tuesday, August 2, 2022 at 2:01:19 PM UTC-6 Will M wrote: > Vince, > > Did you see? Posted Monday. And located in Minneapolis. > > https://www.ebay.com/itm/115481524046 > >

[RBW] WTB/ISO: Carradice or other Saddle Bag

Hi There, I'm looking for a saddle bag for my son's bike. He saw me putting mine on my bike after a recent project, and admired mine. I decided I couldn't say no to such a noble request. Not having a lot of luck on ebay - would love to buy something pre-owned or under used. Let me know what

This is a great story - I love your open mindset to put yourself out there. It's easy to feel like "I don't belong" to these types of groups when you see people riding differently than you. So commendable. last year I did a "Gravel Race" on my surly long haul trucker with upright bars. So many
