Thanks for this remembrance of Sheldon Brown, a true mensch to all cyclists and a godfather of rec.bicycles.tech. In the spirit of Sheldon Brown I found some little-used tools & bits and dropped them off at the Bicycle Kitchen.

Any time I have a mechanical question, Mr. Brown's website is the first place I look. He has a matter-of-fact way of explaining things, and isn't afraid to tell you what 'innovations' are more marketing than substance. I've never met the man, but I'm thankful for what he has shared with the rest of us.

Wherever you are-- tailwinds, Mr. Brown.
