Re: [RBW] replace top tube to improve ride

As your framebuilder said, probably best left alone. But, as an amateur brazer, I'd solve the "problem" by cutting the tubes a bit less, leaving nubs to use as lugs for a tube with a outside diameter that matches the inside diameter of the existing toptube. This wouldn't get you down to 1', but

With the sloping toptube, the 65 rides HUGE. I'm at 100PBH or so, and I've not a ton of clearance with 60mm tires. And you're right, you should get the low, you won't regret it. Not sure the H in 65 will ever be made again, or the L... -Kai On Thursday, April 1, 2021 at 3:28:41 PM UTC-4 Kevin wr

It was mentioned before, and I'll put my vote in for VHB tape (very high bond). Not a pro, so I can't make a pro tip, but as an enthusiastic amateur, let me recommend that you first stick it to the badge, carefully trim it back from the edge, and stick it, hopefully not upside down, because- ve

This is a great bag, maybe the greatest of all the sackville line... I sewed a buckle to my kangaroo pouch to secure it down using the tail of the bag's strap and it works magnificently as a front bar bag. No hold down means the kangaroo jumps around, I guess that's why they call it the kangar
