Let It Rain 1

Larry Varney, BROL Co-Editor, has written an informative article, titled: Let It Rain [this article is no longer available at BROL] , on the new Catrike front fender. He likes to new support bracket; but, would like a longer front fender. There is a BROL thread and a Catrike thread discussing the article. The discussions are fruitful.

Given the above information, I have asked Dana, if he will alter my order to get the new brackets and 20″ rear fenders that I’ll alter for the front wheel. I’m up to the challenge.

My New 700 deserves a new helmet. 1

The Specialized S-WORKS Helmet is my helmet of choice. I saw it first during the Tour de France and wanted a red, white, and blue one to match my cycling club colors. My FestiVELO tour guide wore one. Last summer I ordered an RW&B 2D helmet through my LBS; but, they could not get it. I’ve been told the U.S.A. helmet may not be available through retail channels. Today, I ordered a matte black S-WORKS Helmet through my LBS. Hopefully, I’ll have it by mid-February.

Apparently, the reason I did not get my helmet is a recall of the Specialized 2D Helmet Specialized changed their product name from 2D to S-WORKS after the recall.
