Hi all,
I have a 1st year Sam (canti brakes, green paint) and I recently noticed
that the rear wheel isn't centered between the chain stays (down by the
kickstand plate). The tire (38mm Marathon) is almost touching the right chain
stay. Everything is centered between the seat stays up by the
Bill, thank you for taking the time to give such detailed advice. What you said
makes sense. I measured everything, flipped the wheel and measured again.
Everything was the same both times. So I've established the wheel (it's true)
is dished corrrctly and thus not the problem.
The wheel was cor

VO Left Bank are nice bars. I had them on my Sam for years. I recently switched

I've had one since the first year they made them (2009?) and I still love it.
It's been my commuter, errand runner, day ride, and trail bike. I've toured on
it a bunch too (about 20 days total) and it was great for that. I've always had
upright bars. It really is a great and versitile bike.

Hello all,
Does anyone have experience with ChocoMoose bars on a Sam? I'm wondering if
the grip area sits level or tilts slightly downward. They seem like my ideal
bars, but it's a big investment without being able to test them out. Any
opinions or thoughts would be helpful. Thank your!

Thanks Joe, I was wondering if that picture was a example of how they sit when
