If your into these kinds of bikes you should definitely check out Bicycle Quarterly. They specialize in these vintage randonneur bikes along with currently produced bikes that take their styling and functional cues from that era and riding style. I also really enjoy their book "The Golden Age...

I also just put 5160's, thuren springs, carli trackbar, steering box brace, and a hellwig swaybar on my '06 2500 CTD. I did it all at once so I can't say how each component improved the ride, but washboards that I used to feel my brain rattling around in at 15mph I can now smoothly drive at...

I just put the Thuren springs, Bilstein 5160 shocks, Carli trackbar, Steering box brace, longer swaybar endlinks and Kore bumpstops on my '06 cummins 2500. It rides SO much better. I no longer feel like I'm going to be catapulted through the roof of my truck with every speed bumpish type bump I...

I've also been desiring to put a flatbed on my truck, but I've heard so many second/third hand stories about having to stop at weigh stations. Does anyone know the actual states that enforce those laws? -Chris

Yep and most shocks are measured in inches. Let me know what you come up with for the two measurements, I may have a shock that'll work for you. -Chris

The two primary measurements you'll need to know are the eye to eye length and the stroke length. Some of the new air shocks will need to know leverage ratios, but there are only a couple that specific. You could also check with hippietech about rebuilding your current shock... -Chris

New Yakima cores are stamped on the inside of the core. You need to have it out of the rack to see it. Are your racks locked? If not you can use the master core removal key to pull them out. If their locked, I guess a trip to the locksmithy. -Chris

For someone your size stay away from anything that has a freewheel(except for a singlespeed) on it. Get a cassette rear wheel or else broken/bent axles are in your near future. This will eliminate all bikes under $400, and some that creep into the fours(Fisher Tarpon). I sell quite a few of the...

Borrego Springs as someone already mentioned. I've done a couple trips on the backside of Santa Barbara when I lived up there. Head out towards Big Pine mtn, and then you get alot of nice singletrack coming back. Where are you located? -Chris

I have been planning on building my own hardsided popup truck camper for over two years, and I have the sketched out the floorplan,along with most of my components spec'ed. Watching several of the recent camper builds such as Pods8 and Homeskillet's has really peaked my motivation. I have long...

That is a great video. I'm trying to wrap my head around some of this new'ish hd video stuff. Why are they using DSLR(still??) cameras for shooting video? Do the provide a higher resolution than a "video" camera? Do cameras at the level of a Canon 5D blur, or totally eliminate, the lines between...

That's a good question. I have a bucket of saddles sitting in my garage that I've tried and didn't work for me. Now saying that on my "touring" bike I run a Brooks B17 aged. I like the standard B17 abit more, but this one works well. For what it's worth, Bontrager aftermarket seats come w/ a 90...

I just checked their website and they have changed it to state the above. That's good to hear. I was very surprised when their website said(not anymore) they were closed effective 3/31. -Chris

I saw some Stockton Wheels that looked like that once on an older rig, but Stockton is out of business now. The were the custom backspaced heavyduty wheels they made. -Chris

If you remember Basinrangers Fuso build. He had a pretty neat overlapping door solution, but unfortunately he deleted his entire build thread. I did download a bunch of the images he posted before that happened though. Hope this is legit... -Chris

I get mine at Grainger. Their price is one of the best I've found and they get them the next business day(at the latest). -Chris

Surly crosscheck. Pics a couple of years old. It currently has some 29 x 1.75 tires and totally different handlebar/shifter settup. -Chris

A 60 gallon water tank is huge. 60 gals * 8lbs = 480 lbs of water. I have a 30 gallon tank in my camper and I find it to be plenty for the two of us. But anyways there are several callen camper builds around here. Callen builds nice strong untis. -Chris
