Someone recently commented about the UK not having gravel roads like the US. In New England this is what passes for “gravel” roads.

Brevet mitts- Any good? Doesn't look like they have much padding?

I bought a pair, they’re going back. They just seam bulky.

I’ve seen the rackstands in person, they’re actually kinda cool in that klunky Japanese commuter kinda way.

So paint question here. I need to get some work done on the rear end of a bike, could a competent painter blend in a white fade from the rear into the original dark blue in the front half? Or am I better off just repainting everything?

This bike made me make an audible “yuck!”

That’s too bad, in the US Patagonia have a mobile repair van that does events and a few stores have in house repair and then there are are big repair centers in Utah (I think?) and NYC.

Arcteryx pissed me off because (in the US at least) they have warranties brought to a store, then mailed to Canada to be check out, then mailed to the US third party to be repaired, then mailed back to Canada, then mailed to you. Total waste of resources.

Why does snow look more dense IRL then thru a lens or a photograph? It’s snowing right now, but every picture I take of it looks denser with the naked eye.

Neither of these statements is true.
Mavic M33×1.0 is 1.30"×25.4TPI
Phil/Campag 1.32"×24TPI
There's more than enough difference in both diameter and pitch to make swapping either way impossible. The ISO 1.29"×24TPI is closer to Mavic than Phil is, but still not compatible.

Yeah those are supposed to both be 24tpi, lack of proof reading and fat farmers fingers.

1.32” = 33.5mm, no? Mavic being 25.4tpi makes more sense why they’d be incompatible.

Mavic lockrings are 33mm x 24tpi, Phil Wood are 33.5 x 24tpi. Is that enough of a difference to make Mavic specific lockrings the only option?

Wound Up at least are still making them.

Wow because I had a brain fart and was processing horizontal as vertical... damn.

Doesn’t this company make it? https://btpbartape.com

I’m interested in this one:

Did you scroll they the pics? There is a horizontal option.

Here is the manufacture btw: https://framebuildersupply.com/products/blemished-supernova-e3-schmidt-son-tail-light-brackets-all-sizes?variant=31439312257086

That may be limited to early 90s. I believe that they are currently painted by Joe Bell.

Are you trying to say the freewheel is backwards?

If so uhhh yeah, it’s one of the cheap freewheels that don’t have 2 or 4 slots to be removed. Dicta, ACS, and Shimano all make them like that. They have to be disassembled usually to remove.

First thing first, how did you manage to fit a 120 spacing to a 130/5

You are aware that road bikes have been spaced 120/126 in the past correct? And if you’re worried about compressing a rear triangle you can always add spacers to an axle (and a wider axle if needed) to fit it in a bigger rear? And that 130 and 135 spaced fixed and single speed hubs exist?

2nd sprocket is that the right side?

Im sorry , you might need some help.

WTF does this even mean?

Pretty sure you sure it, you sure about that?

Yeah VO sells a couple different sizes, their made by some company on the West Coast of The US.

My boss ownes a Cippolini raced acqua sapone biked. He also gets a yearly birthday card from Mike Sinyard.

Well there’s this.

Too many words, not enough pictures. At least post pictures of your scar.

Pancenti Brevet (19mm) vs Velocity Quill (21mm) vs HED Belgium Plus (21mm)

So gonna be running 38s and 42s on some 28 hole wheels. Upsides, downsides to these guys? I already have a set of HEDs on my FC.

Anyone have pictures of bike with racks incorporated into the fender?

In the US they only sold well in a few cities, Boston, SF, Seattle etc.

I’m not a philistine.
