Sure it does. I've fixed that by finding the best price/endurance ratio. Cheers Pretty astounding that someone thinks 70 bucks is expensive for hiking boots. Maybe I'm used to the the CA exchange rate though... That's 7c per mile. Even my MTB rear tire costs less per mile (but only the Asian ones). -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Pretty astounding that someone thinks 70 bucks is expensive for hiking
boots. Maybe I'm used to the the CA exchange rate though... not hiking boots. Big Bend asks for an interview or 2 before proceeding to Point A. I survived excessive snarling n solicitation during interview 1 and went on to a scheduled 2. at interview 2 where I was asked to sign a loyalty oath, have a photo for corps ID taken, and a photo of my sneaker bottoms. Tarzan of the Outback before me had $350 boots suitably broken in ... My sneakers were $100 sand treads of AAA construction. None better. I left the $100 water resistant teva sandals in the van. The photographer sneared n expostulated at me for wearing weenie desert footwear....'are you hiking in that ? he threatened ... the crowd threw stones... a voice from the rear called wearily, 'John, he's canoeing.' a place for J on vacation. call Texas Sports for a ride in the oven. |

The Sugino of that style has teeth, Ritchey and Campagnolo do not, relying on dissimilar curves between post and bottom plate. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 I don't have it any more but I'm pretty certain that I had a Richey that had teeth on it. I got rid of it because holding the saddle level was exactly between two of the teeth. I never had a problem with the friction fit ones. But I had all the trouble in the world with the Richey carbon one bolt system that would NOT hold. Until I had re-tightened it about the twentieth time and I think that it finally engaged enough of the mechanism to have sufficient friction. |
