I would expect them to want 15% before they deliver

My plan has been to hang tight until Bike24 starts shipping to the US again. I was just looking around at buying stuff domestically and unfortunately 50 Euro shipping + an extra 15% is still cheaper for B&M and Tubus

Maybe it was baked into the price (or maybe bc Etsy?) but I didn’t pay anything extra on a rando bag from NL

Can it wait a few months for SCOTUS to rule on tariffs?

I think it can but I have no idea how the hell that is going to go lol

It is going to be a fun case to watch the “Originalists” and “Textualists” twist themselves in knots.

Article 1, Section 8

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,

If you change your mind, leave a message, pretty sure that was an option last time I called. They’ve always been good about getting back to me (all of two times).

Nah, realized it was 2025 and sent an email.

Which rim brakes do I need for:

  • 36mm (or more) tire clearance
  • short caliper…stack? width? needs to fit behind a front rack with a tombstone and crown support tang but tall enough to clear a headset cup
  • nutted axle

I have R539s installed now and the front caliper arm has like 2mm of clearance with the rack, and won’t clear these Strada Bianchas.

That’s a lot of words that could be a picture

why not full truss?

i like the look of diamond with truss, feel like the spaceframe is a bit busy but i probably could be swayed.

i have a similar issue i’m planning to solve with sram red aerolink brakes and a 7mm offset brakeshoe from Taiwan

(i also emailed cane creek asking if they had any of the small run of “gravel” ee brakes they allegedly did for rob english the other year, not exactly holding my breath)

buddie’s older brother who has a fleet of custom stuff that would make you all cry had the full truss ti . he came with us to ride trails and right after we left the cars he cracked the faceplate on his thompson stem so he had to go home and I didn’t get to try it.
