yes, but you may be able to fix your rear brake hose with different routing. the rear brake like should be able to zip tie to the brake arm, you may want to try to do this and then try zip tying to your toptube. it will need a little extra line near the far back for movement through its stroke.

like this on the back part, but you might have to zip tie to top tube. or get a new hose/bleed

goodrich, yes. especially since your hose is too short anyway.

the photo dhs posted looks like a perfect guide.

I don't know yet. I'll weigh it when I get home from work.

But it just looks light, there's no ti on there and there are heavy duty tubes in those tyres.

Right now it's rain-in, blow-in and snow-in:nopity: Tony just called me for a ride and snowball fight in our local mountains tomorrow. Here's a current picture of our favorite place.


Anthony, looks like that wall is at the Capri by the Sea in PB?
