But if your begging money please go elsewhere.

At 45mph it felt stable and I would have let her go to 50-55mph if the hill had been big enough:) What slowed me down was rain, felt like needles, but I don't think there was much more speed anyway. The GX fairing may have helped stability. One of these days when my knees are back I'll do some A-B-A testing. I did forget the hinge lever one morning. I noticed because I though the frame was broke and flexing on a climb!Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312701794088202569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-89900757210105787402012-05-19T18:24:38.445-04:002012-05-19T18:24:38.445-04:00Wow, "every few miles" something was wro...Wow, "every few miles" something was wrong. I just finished 805miles. I checked the skewers daily but can say I only tightened them a couple times. Could you send a picture of your solution.

When ...I'd say something is wrong on the right. When I get the pads adjusted, first the caliper then the offsets and then the cable, the lock is a tight squeeze but not superman. So maybe your caliper isn't set up correctly. As for length, when my cables, calipers, offset are set right, I've got plenty of stopping power. At below say 20mph, I many times use just 2 or 3 fingers. Any more and I might lift the rear wheel, which is easy to do at under about 4mph:)Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312701794088202569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-29717108550825378642012-05-10T07:52:05.698-04:002012-05-10T07:52:05.698-04:00I wouldn't mind longer brake levers on my TS1,...I wouldn't mind longer brake levers on my TS1, but they'll do. My left parking lock works well, but the right side takes a mechanic's grip on the lever, and then it only partially engages the pin.Jim Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921565578005985618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-22074618707801792102012-05-10T07:43:28.717-04:002012-05-10T07:43:28.717-04:00Tom is indeed helpful and timely in his responses....Tom is indeed helpful and timely in his responses. I couldn't keep the skewers tight, so every few miles(literally) I had to stop and tighten them. So I replaced the skewers with stainless steel cap screws over steel washers to avoid eroding the aluminum spacers. A hex key doesn't take up much room in my pack.Jim Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921565578005985618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-79800311860382041662012-05-10T07:34:36.518-04:002012-05-10T07:34:36.518-04:00With my ST1 toe-in set near zero I've found it...With my ST1 toe-in set near zero I've found it unnervingly twitchy, but controllable at over 30mph. Here in Montana's Flathead valley, the county roads have no shoulders, and in town where I hit that speed the traffic was running about three feet to my left while my right wheel was in the rain gutter all the way down, with the usual drain gratings, dumpsters and mail boxes sticking out over the curb. A less traveled hill gets me to 27mph, but with turns, and a sharp left at the bottom. That's where I discovered how positive my brakes are. As hard as I hit them, I was amazed I didn't nose-dive. I love my Stowaway. BTW, if you ever experience an intermittent creaking sound from the frame, re-tighten the hinge locking lever. Amazingly, the frame still felt solid with the lever hanging completely loose.Jim Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921565578005985618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-29079920203683960582012-05-10T07:13:55.879-04:002012-05-10T07:13:55.879-04:00My TS1 came from a different retailer' left-ov...My TS1 came from a different retailer' left-over stock with the radius rods' inboard joints attached to the wrong holes, completely throwing both the Ackerman compensation and the alignment out of whack. After I corrected the attachment issue I made an alignment tool out of a rod w/ a wooden pencil zip-tied to it so the eraser was at the end. My alignment is now near zero toe-in and steers neutrally, with little brake steer. At full steering lock the outside tire still scrubs, but as I rarely go more than a mile or so at full lock the tire wear doesn't bother me;)Jim Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921565578005985618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-90089133049894617432012-05-10T06:51:39.007-04:002012-05-10T06:51:39.007-04:00Thanks for your thorough treatment of the TS2. Obv...Thanks for your thorough treatment of the TS2. Obviously, my TS1 has the same issue with the boom's cable holder, and I intend to eventually reroute the cable to the boom's opposite side using a clamp-on holder. Until I can find the part, I've temporarily installed a LONGER cable jacket and routed it OVER the holder, taking the cable tension across the low-friction cable jacket instead of metal - metal. This mod also increases the cable's radius through the 180 deg. turn, smoothing the action while still keeping the cable loop smaller than the chainring. If my description is obscure, I'll snap a photo of my current workaround and e-mail it to you.Jim Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921565578005985618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851769966172925562.post-33322423398815532772012-04-13T19:53:21.288-04:002012-04-13T19:53:21.288-04:00Hi DED, As far as I can tell the ACA POIs are list...Hi DED, As far as I can tell the ACA POIs are listed as waypoints in Garmin BaseCamp and they can be uploaded to the eTrex 20. However they are generic waypoints. So if an ACA has the little tent symbol for Searsport CS it's listed as F0BHA0 it will not show up in the eTrex search for Camp Ground locations. In the case of Searsport CG the Garmin CityNavigator has it listed and is uploaded to the Garmin when I installed the Maine maps. <br />So really unless your looking at the BaseCamp on a computer the ACA POI's aren't much help on the road IMHO. <br /><br />If anyone knows how to make the ACA POIs appear as POIs in the Garmin PLEASE let me know because I have found some ACA POI's that are not in CityNavigator.
