Re: [RBW] Re: I have questions

Hmm... 1. Fenders – if you have enough clearance with 48s with the fenders on there now, no problem. If anything, 42 might increase the gap to the point of being less useful / aesthetically pleasing?.. Dunno. But mostly I was wondering which type of fenders you're using. If metal, consider

That Reston Homer is nicely appointed and a good deal for someone right for a 47cm! On Thursday, March 21, 2024 at 9:43:22 AM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay wrote: > Your patience continues to earn you money. Now the price is down to > $6000. Wait until September and you'll get paid to take it. > >

Re: [RBW] Re: Rapid rise derailleur suggestion

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks to JJ for the general rapid rise write-up. I've already tested and made up my mind for myself but I think his post from Mar 20, 2024, 1:14:26 PM really does a nice job of breaking things down related to how these mechs work, how they might work for you, as

Re: [RBW] Re: I have questions

Max,1. Yes. I try to live without them. I never can.2. I need a Randi Jo bag on the stem/bar. I was planning to put the front rack on because I have it and because it might be useful for travel. I’ll also have a rear rack that can take the Backabike Bags. This bike is kind of set up for multiple

[RBW] ISO/WTB/WTT: Tange (or other) good quality 127 mm square taper bb with ~2 mm right offset.

The headline says it: does anyone have anything like this, Tange or otherwise? This sort of bb is the most efficient for my Matthews Road Bike For Dirt, giving good chainline with no excess crankarm clearance. I have a 130 mm Phil with ~200 mile bearings and a NIP 125 mm Suntour Greaseguard bb

Sometimes it's nice to fuss, and sometimes it feels good to just dirt-bag it! For full effect, you should do mismatched bar tape and water bottles! - Max "occasional dirtbag" in A2 On Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 2:08:52 PM UTC-4 Ted Durant wrote: > On Monday, March 18, 2024 at 9:57:32 AM

[RBW] Re: I have questions

Leah, Coupla questions back to you... 1) is the travel set-up going to use fenders? 2) do you need the front bag, or could you get away with just a saddlebag, and/or bar bag strapped to the handlebars? - Max "simplicate, simplicate, simplicate" in A2 On Thursday, March 21, 2024 at 2:45:54 

[RBW] Re: I have questions

This sounds very interesting; sort of an updated version of the B Luxos U, with a higher power collection from the dynamo, brighter standard and highbeam lights (have LEDs improved that much in the last decade? I know that batteries have), and a MagSafe-type connecter for USB peripherals. The

Re: [RBW] Re: Rapid rise derailleur suggestion

Thanks all for your clarifications! Agree with the comments regarding the reliability of shimano components - I've usually had little reason to move on from my Altus/Acera RD except durability of the pulleys on the Acera perhaps. Shifted very well every time. I have received a nice RD from a rbw

Re: [RBW] How do I know when a saddle fits?

I will second Patrick Moore's recommendation to consult with a fitter. Dozens of saddles over 15 years and never being able to do a 20-mile ride pain-free? That's indicative of something else going on, IMO. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 4:18:09 PM UTC-7

Re: [RBW] How do I know when a saddle fits?

This is a tough one. My personal experience has been that I can get along with almost any saddle. There are shapes that I like better for longer efforts (I like flat and narrow, so Fizik for plastic or Brooks Pro for leather, Ergons on my mtb), but most saddles are tolerable. I think we all

[RBW] Re: I have questions

Yes, use the 48 tires you already have. A 42 would classify as a "marginal gain". What's overlooked in all this talk of weights and rolling resistance is the aerodymanic drag from the rider. Above 10 mph aero drag increases *dramatically, *whereas the rolling resistance of a tire rises only
