What a disappointing end, after all he’d been through.

Current record is 64 days, he's at 60+7hrs with 759km to go (est). It's going to be close but he seems like he's on pace for doing it.

AnPost (Ireland) is saying that the recipient still needs to pay, but they and their logistics partner will be collecting (for up to 5 calendar days before it's return to sender)

According to AnPost (Ireland), they're still shipping, but packages are being held for 5 days pending payment from the recipient. It's really more than the de-minimus exemption going away -- the tariffs need to be paid prior to entering the US, rather than while clearing US customs. Most postal...

This shows a level of skill and dedication that's frankly beyond imagination...

> but still it was heavy, Yep. Had one of these bought new in 21", bought for the color, it was like 35lb when heading out for a ride. Wound up riding it for about 6 years until fatigue failure at the chainstay bridge ended the frame.

Are they 32 spoke?

I've been wondering if there's some combination of Hope hub parts that would get me to 142qr spacing. Should have thought of it before I built a new rear wheel around the Phil Wood FW rear. Might be worth putting a rear disc brake on it, but honestly the only really subpar braking performance...

Same here -- 20+ yr old tandem, went from the two of us, to two + trailer, to gap years, to me + kid. Now it gets out 1-2 x per week in the summer, with me and the 18yr old. One long ride, one mid week blow out the cobwebs ride. Ours barely fits in a Ford Galaxy, mainly because it has full...

I rode with him back in grad school (UW) when he was getting his PhD, and he was a little crazy even then with riding RAMROD and the S2S. Now that I'm in Europe, I actually really miss the Seattle cycling scene. Recycled Cycles was awesome, and there were a ton of local frame builders. (I...

Ok, those mountain bike tandem cranks are beautiful. I do sort of wonder how all 4 of them fit on the one BB that is included in the grouppo...

How robust are RH tires? It depends. I’ve had 10 individual tires, in 5 sets. I ride road, but the road quality is a step above gravel. I didn’t notice that they were unusually susceptible to flats, though I have had a couple of bad days out. Hawthorn thorns will go through them. I usually...

Rene Hearse has a 1.25" (Elk Pass) and a 1.8" (Naches Pass) in 26". They're quite light (185 and 295g, in extralight), and really not cheap. I've got a Naches Pass on the front of my tandem, and I'm completely happy with it.

A friend had one of these BITD, when I was riding the neon yellow Trek 830 with Exage. I envied his Deore and Smoke tires.

Yeah, but they're on a tandem. And I don't think they're that much worse than the Araya 1.75 that was on there before.

I’ve got a pair of velo orange voyagers and they built up into quite mice wheels. A little spendy.

Yep

Selling a lightly used Berthoud Aspin Open -- I'd say VGC, as there's one mark on the rails, but otherwise looks basically new. It's got about 1000km on it, and sadly, it's not really the right shape for me. €125

The Rene Herse tandems run the drive chain from the Captain's crank as well. The only think I can think of is front shifting, because they had the lever based front mechs.

Looking for a Sachs Maillard Aris 8 speed freewheel, in 12-28 or similar wide range.
