The Wald bags aren't bad and relatively cheap at $41. I've had one for a couple of years now. It lives outdoors a lot and the color has faded but it seems to be holding up well. I'm not real hard on it. Waldsports bag George in NoCal On Sunday, October 29, 2023 at

[RBW] Free for shipping, Rivendell Readers 21 to 34.

Hey all, I'm moving into a smaller place and need to make room so I'm hoping somebody here may like to have these old Rivendell Readers, issues #21 through 34. If you're in the Sacramento area, we could arrange some sort of drop off. Otherwise, I'll ask for the cost of shipping these. I

I second, (or third?), the recommendation of Shimano SPD's. They work great and you can easily walk with SPD shoes! George in NoCal On Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 8:10:55 AM UTC-8 JohnS wrote: > I have Speedplay zero pedals on my road bikes and I really like them. Easy > to clip in and

Shipping will be tough not because of weight but because of the size of the package. I just sent a rear rack via USPS and almost fainted at the cost! Better to find a new one online or at an LBS. George in NoCal On Thursday, December 15, 2022 at 2:02:18 PM UTC-8 phoen...@gmail.com wrote: >

[RBW] Re: Good pedals for both SPD clip-in and street shoe riding?

I use these, Shimano PD-EH500's, although similar to the a530, they have a pretty flat platform with replaceable pins for "stiction" in your street shoes.\: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/shimano/PD-EH500.html I've been pretty happy with them, they live on my gravel bike.

Here's another data point...I have a PBH of about 88, longish limbs and average torso. Also, I'm 63 so not as spry as I used to be. however, I've used bars around 42cm consistently for nearly 40 years! So maybe those 42's will work fine for you. I didn't care for the 44cm Noodles I was given, I

[RBW] Re: Entirely on topic: A good book

A great book. Downloaded on my Kindle a year or so ago and loved it. I understand it became a sort of guidebook/reference in the Gold Rush, it being practically the only reasonably accurate, albeit dated(by 1849), reference available! Loved the description of the Mission in San Diego. George

Re: [RBW] Single speeds

I prefer riding a fixed gear on windy days. I kinda believe in the "flywheel" affect, it seems to help in those conditions. It also helps in climbing over short hills. One other benefit of fixed gear riding, for me anyway, is that it helps in dialing in your riding position... especially true

[RBW] How do you track your mileage?

I've been pretty happy with the free version of Map My Ride. I have used it for a little more than 2 years now and it has been pretty easy to use and reliable, well, except when I destroyed my phone on one ride! Phone apps just seem to be the most convenient and practical way of tracking

Lum, That article you mentioned sounds just like a story I read in an old Cyclist magazine from the mid 80s, it was written by Ed Stiles, an episode from his excellent Tourlines series for that mag. Cyclist was a great read for a while, and Tourlines had a distinctly BOB-ish flavor to it, way

[RBW] Help pulling Sugino triple crank

I have found that same problem. Your solution of sticking something on the end of the spindle should work. I used a large ball bearing to do the same thing and it worked. I now use an old Sugino crank extractor which seems to work better, for some reason! George in NoCal -- You received
