Out of the 3 pumps I have, none of them fit this Waterford frame I'm building up the way I like, (btw. the rear QR skewer lever and seatube cluster as recommended above). So I submit to the group my Campy-Shiv made out of the much-unwanted 53t chainring. The cherry on top is that it saves me a

As someone who’s had the Neo Retro (& Touring), I definitely miss the adjustability, but also love the lack of adjusting. I took a wrench and bent the front Mafacs to adjust toe-in and, now that I have the dual compound Eagle pads from Kool Stop, I never worry even in a torrential downpour. Plu

Nice, Luke. I agree, having a black frame pump between the tubes on a double top tube Atlantis interferes with the nice lines. On Monday, January 23, 2023 at 1:56:38 AM UTC-5 Luke Hendrickson wrote: > [image: B372A765-5F4B-42DE-A241-4387D0682850.jpeg] > I like the use of an alt mount option eve

[image: B372A765-5F4B-42DE-A241-4387D0682850.jpeg] I like the use of an alt mount option even though I have a pump peg on mine. I love the double tubing of the Atlantis and don’t want it crowded with a pump. On Saturday, January 21, 2023 at 11:01:26 AM UTC-8 J C wrote: > I like the QR idea. > >

I like the QR idea. However, on my 2020 Appaloosa the dropout design prevents a shimano QR lever from easily closing at an angle other than forward or backward, approximately level to the ground. Curious if a similar design is used on other newish models? On Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 1

I made a pump peg for one of my bikes out of an old spoke. The pump was a little short for the quick release trick, plus using the quick release trick can have the handle of the pump fill up with water in the rain. The pump never fell off, even while on rough fire roads. Link to picture of the

I like these solutions Nick, Kim and Andy. Absent a pump peg mount I do think that using the QR skewer is the best, so elegant and minimal. I read about that on iBOB and it really got me. Then I forgot about it. I'll have to see if I can make that work. Wes: It's not necessarily better! It's

I'm a big proponent of using the rear quick release as the peg and stuffing it between the seat-stay and seat-tube. Much cleaner. I add some elastic paracord as added security down near the QR. On Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at 10:12:26 PM UTC-6 krhe...@gmail.com wrote: > I own a Clem Smith Jr.
