    Aero Garbage Wind Resistant a lie

    There is no way I could ride an aero bike. I did a 12 hour time trial and watched the guys with bikes that weighed like an empty beer can, laying down, shifters on the far end of lay out bars. They had on weird helmets and shoe covers. I used 4 different bikes to get saddle and a little riding...

    Aero Garbage Wind Resistant a lie

    All them fancy scientists with their degrees can’t even figure out what a radish is good for. They tried but found nothing useful for you when you eat a radish. I like the taste, good enough for me.

    Any idea what this is? - 1920s Radior

    Those Phillips brakes work well. Better than a lot of modern rim brakes.

    Any idea what this is? - 1920s Radior

    I don’t have a bucket of them but I have a few. Real vintage ones are rare and expensive. I put a real one on the late 1920s Gloria frame I built up as a gift for my sons birthday. You can make a reasonable facsimile thereof with a steering strut for an RC vehicle, around $6 each. I drill out...

    Any tips on repairing vintage brakes?

    I’ve tried retro fitting brake springs and such. Didn’t work as well as the original. Spring steel has a mind of its own. A po welder might be able to TIG weld a bridge. He would know if the heat would cause it to get too brittle or soften the spring temper. TIG has a little less heat spread...

    I just found this in one of my storage containers. It’s the same guy as above but 57 years earlier. I cropped out the license plate, but it was a 1968 plate. I was on leave from the Army. My buddy who had the same model and year Triumph took the picture. Right after he took the photo I drove it...

    Morrow coaster brake heat sink

    My storage shed has arrived. Interesting how they put it on my gravel pad. Getting gravel delivered out here was what slowed down the progress. Today I’ll start filling it up. A lot more room to hold junk.

    Morrow coaster brake heat sink

    I found an electric motor heat sink that has the same size opening as my Morrow coaster brake shell. I cut it in half, trimmed it from 50 mm wide to 36 mm and filed a grove for the retainer to sit in.

    BoTM Canuckbiker's 1988 Brodie Romax is the April 2025 Bike of The Month

    Yeah, when I last visited, mid 90s, people thought nothing of driving 200 kilometers one way for dinner on a Friday. It actually seemed common.
