Chicago-Milwaukee-Madison Tour at Clark Square Park

May 25, 2013 at 6am to May 27, 2013 at 9pm
Hey Folks!  Yet again and in this ride's fifth year, we are going to get our wheels rolling for a three day tour through Wisconsin.  This time, however, I have finally accomplished a crucial goal by connecting with the Wounded Warrior Project and we're set to ride for our nation's soldiers.  It's a 175 mile ride with two camping stops along the way.   Camping fees and a donation towards "Wounded Warriors" are required.   Riders…See More

"Seems interesting. Its $70 for camping fees, donation, and transportion (for you and your bike) back to Ohare/Downtown?"

"Get the canti brakes people recommend and stay away from the caliper brakes.  Properly set up canti brakes blow away a side pull when it comes to stopping power and ones with as long a reach as you need are always going to feel spongy."

"Long reach DP side-pull or vintage centerpulls seems like a better solution to me if all else fails at this point.  Cantis just aint all THAT to begin with IMHO.  "

"To extend my response, we at Comrade have tried most all types of brakes to remedy this situation with little permanent solution outside of new cantilever posts on an old frame. There just ain't much room for adjustment while retaining proper…"

"Jesse at Comrade Cycles has plenty of experience brazing new canti posts on old frames built around 27" wheels. It ain't the cheapest, but it's by far the most effective solution. Stop by or call us @773-292-2522."
