Decided to rebuild both wheels rather than just replace a spoke, but the LBS didn't have the right size spokes in stock, and I started looking at all the wheels hanging from the ceiling and those Weinmanns were perfect. The 37s don't fit under my fenders either though, so in the winter, both sets of wheels have 28s on them. Anyway, always a backup set so I never have an excuse to miss a bike commute.

Why is your basket attached to the fork and brake mount? Could you not run Yuba's bread basket? The one that attaches to the bosses on the top tube and down tube?

my daily ride
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all this is my daily ride. Its a 2009 cube sl road comp. Its equipped with a (love it or hate it) suntour swing shock which i love very much. It has 8 speed claris groupset. I use it every day to work. My favorite bags are the one pictured. A rose handlebar bag and an apidura saddle bag. I also fitted a bottle dynamo plus b&m lights. Very powerful but sometimes i feel the drag. I m really considering a hub dynamo.

1) You will not regret the investment in a hub dynamo. I highly recommend you investigate. 2) (Unsolicited advise) You might wanna give yourself a bit of room on the rear of that front fender. Bad things can happen when the fender is too close to one's front tire. -Kedosto |
Geez, even I throw out bread before it gets that furry.

Thx for posting -- never heard of a Suntour Swing Shock before. That apidura bag looks pretty cool too
I may post several pics of the T C sometime in the future, after the next modification;) This was the original Speed Metro' III, from which the T C was born. https://img.grouponcdn.com/deal/fWvg...1/c700x420.jpg |
This is my 1999 Trek 800 Sport. I commute with it in all weather conditions be it heavy snow, -30°C, +30°C or heavy downpour.

Very nice! I commuted for years on a 1989 Specialized Rockhopper. Older, rigid framed MTBs are quite possibly the best bang-for-your-buck commuters available. Yours looks very well appointed. Well done!

Thanks.
Yeah, that pseudo-denim fabric doesn't inspire much confidence. I've got some other choices if need be. |
I'd been using this Trek 850 for year-round commutes the past 25 years,

@emptym, that's really sharp. Is the frame stainless steel?
|
Thanks guys. Credit for the great pics (and bike of course), are due to the very talented maker, Roberto Aznar.
The frame and fork are titanium, which I'd been lusting after since the early 90s. The low maintenance belt drive and internal gear hub have also long been a dream. I still can't believe I'll be getting my dream bike after many years. Not sure I'm worthy! |

Just curious, but how the heck do belt-drive bicycle manufacturers get the belt on there? do they weld the rear frame together after threading the belt through, or ??? IF anyone has the answer can you post it?

The replacement is a thing of beauty. |

Just pull the belt off and hose it off. No grease. No oil. No wax. Dirt gone. |

Look carefully at the lower part of the seatstay. If you look closely, you can see that it can be split and that on the inside there are screws that hold the seatstay together. That's how you get the belt in there.
