Can't help you with the switch, John, but I enjoyed reading a bit
about your bike adventures. *I'll have to give it a proper read -
looks great!

I am another one that was very disappointed to find out that a lot of
my bike touring stuff deteriorated after only 30 years. *They don't
make things like they used to. *

Yeah... only 30 years and the stuff turned into useless stuff... I'm
actually going to throw some of it away rather than continue to warehouse
it! LOL

Make sure you check eBay before you toss anything. It's funny how
some old pieces of kit can bring some bucks. Years ago I gave a buddy
the original Campagnolo aero water bottle. He used the things for
years and still has it and uses it. I ran across one on eBay and I
was shocked to see how much a used water bottle could fetch.
