Agreed on the wheel stabilizer thing. I put one on a bike I built for my son because of the aggressive front wheel flop, but I'm probably going to take it off and hunt for another solution. It's not attractive.

Thanks all. I remember reading something from shimano about the rapid rise's functionality, how instead of fighting the spring tension to shift the rapid rise's reverse action allowed for a more natural movement to the larger or smaller cogs. I'm sure someone somewhere would dispute this, but it certainly feels better to me, and I do wish they would have stuck it out. It seemed to get some support from the mountain bike people, but so it goes. Also, thanks for the wheel-stabilizer thing on the VO site. It's a bit bigger than I remembered it, and Though I'm not super ultra finicky about aesthetics when a necessary solution is at hand, it ain't pretty. Instead of just adding more parts, I may readjust/reassess my current parts, as Patrick suggests. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
