Sorry, with all the confusion I just couldn't help myself :) Last weekend I had my rear wheel apart to inspect the bearings and reset my preload. I have a habit of checking because many years ago one of my races spun in the hub. At the time I was unable to find a suitable replacement, so I peened th...

For those interested and not familiar with the "Canyon Dancer" style strap, the best things about it are: 1. They pull to compress the forks from the same point the rider's hands and arms push 2. They slip over the bars at the outer ends to help keep the forks straight 3. They are designed...

I'd post a picture of the one I test fit today, but I've already wasted enough time only to find out "the boards attachment quota has been reached".

The one I have is stainless, measures 6 7/8" in diameter and fits my /5 headlamp quite nicely.

A friend of mine down the street has a set of those Moss stone guards. I plan to test fit one the next time I ride over.

The price, look and size of these might be just the ticket:

For the yellow lens you might consider applying a yellow UV tint/film to the inside of your stock lens.
