Handlebars, hydration and quick release bolt

Thanks all for all your help on my Y26 convert. Rides really good and am very pleased. I do have a couple of questions I hoped someone could answer for me.

1. Where do I get a longer quick release/skewer bolt kit for the rear wheel? 7" or so. I ride a lot of long distances and don't want to carry all kinds of tools for tire changes.

2. What other recommended handlebars for the Y26? I don't like the stock ones a bit. I see Posts for Wald 8095 and North Road in some of the post. Any more suggestions from the riders out there?

3. What about hydration system mounts/racks for water on the conversion? I mounted 2 bottle racks under the back of the seat but that is not enough for 30+ mile rides here in Texas. Maybe a Topeak type rack with water bag like Camelbak or such?


Any help would be more than appreciated.
Loving the conversion and getting more and more used to it everyday .

Hi Chris,
As far as hydration


Hi Chris,

As far as hydration goes, on my Sofrider, I attach (with two straps) a Camelback Unbottom to the seat. I do have a rack, but one should be able to do the same without one. I like it and would (well, I guess am) recommend(ing) it to others.

Cheers,
Charles
