Yeah, I've looked at the Bikebuddy in the past but thought they were too fussy and that it would be easy to loose a part out on the road.rifraf wrote:These bottle cages look the biz and I can see one in my future:

Could work well for my 1 litre Trangia fuel bottle. And might let you mount a Nalgene Silo low enough on the downtube to clear the front mudguard.

How long will it take to break in your butt to match the saddle ?

to get the drop from the fork crown daruma bolt;

down to where I want the fender, keeping an equidistant gap throughout the sphere of the fender.
The fender is now once again removed awaiting a replacement stainless steel Hex Coupler, larger daruma washer/spacer as well as hardware for the rear fender.
The Berthoud daruma is suited to a one inch steerer where the Surly is 1 1/8 hence the need for the larger washer spacer to keep movement (flex/fatigue) to a minimum.

The Avonguard 200km Audax in 2 weeks would be a good test for the saddle (or your rear) - good range of terrain and road surface. Even better if it rains since this should be a Brooks that isn't allergic to water. Hopefully that's a firm saddle and similar length/width dimensions to the standard B17?Aushiker wrote:My Brooks Cambium for testing finally arrived

Hang on, a plastic Brooks saddle ?
You sure it's not a Chinese rip-off

Looking forward to its arrival.
The order confirmation email was nice and prompt.
A yahoo search will find a promotion code saving 5%.
Better than a slap with a tripod stool I reckon.

I first looked at that and thought that someone had made a modern looking Sanyo Dyanapower generator and rigged it up to a battery to turn it into a motor. Until I got a look at the scale. Still the same principle though.
