[RBW] Re: Susie W. Longbolts Build video

[brendonoid]

Thanks Eric, I have previously used these Neo Retros on my Appaloosa and on 
an old GT. I didn't like them either time, I have used a lot of canti's 
over the years and I would have put them at the bottom of the list. With 
these different pads and perhaps a more agreeable rim-to-brake-pivot ratio 
on the Susie they have transformed to some of the nicest cantilevers I have 
ever used. Pretty bizarre how fussy they are that such a simple change has 
totally transformed them. The lever feel is good now, too.

Keith, racks, fenders and dyno lights are always the hardest, slowest part! 
I think most bike shops charging extra for such things indicates we are not 
alone.

Alex, how’s the attachment to the basket on this bag? You think it would
work with one of the 139 half baskets?

[RBW] WTB/WTT: a few used parts for a commuter

[Patch T]

Hello! In search of the following, used but functional is fine, looking for 
low prices on your unwanted bits here before I go searching online for 
deals:

- right-side top-mount thumb shifter, like an Suntour Power Ratchet, or 
maybe your used Sunrace M96, ideally silver/mostly-silver. Will be shifting 
7 speeds, friction.

- Short-pull brake levers for 22.2 bars, something like a silver Tektro 
FL750 would be great.

- front rack that mounts to fork crown and fork ends, such as a VO 
Constructeur, silver preferred. For attaching a basket.


A few random comparable bits I have to trade:

- VO Left Bank hbars in 23.8, with VO city levers, generic 80mm SR stem: 
either as a cockpit with grip area wrapped with cork sheet + red Newbaum's 
+ amber shellac, or parted out. 

- Shimano Altus rear derailer

- Shimano 600 short-reach calipers, 6208's I think.

Thanks!

[RBW] FS: Deore LX rapid-rise rear derailleur (RD-M580)

[Elisabeth Sherwood]

Hi all,

I changed out the shifters and drivetrain on my Saluki, and can't think of 
another use for the rapid-rise rear derailleur.  So, it's looking for a new 
home. 

It's in good condition and went through the parts washer after I took it 
off. :-) 

$25, including shipping?  (I'm basically just looking to cover what I hope 
will be worst-case mailing costs...)  Paypal friends/family preferred

Re: [RBW] FS - NOS Shimano M732 7-speed shifter set

[Ryan Stanis]

How that’s a very cool part to have been stashing away. Definitely
the right time to be selling these since the “vintage” mtb market is so hot
right now. Long gone are the days of $15 XT thumbies from the local bike
co-op. Good luck with the sale!

Re: [RBW] High bars at a club ride

[Steven Sweedler]

I’m another rider who started wirh drops on my first 10 speed that I got
for my thirteenth birthday. Still on drops 58 years later, always level
with my saddle. Twice I’ve built up bikes with flat bars and always went
back to drops. I do spend most  of my time on the ramps or hoods but
whenever descending, once my speed reaches 25-30 mph I always reach for the
drops and feel much more secure. I’m curious how others feel on upright
bikes while descending. Steve

 It was that way the whole ride. Most club riders assume their drop bars

[RBW] FS: Quickbeam Orange 56 - $1250 plus shipping

[Valerie Yates]

Have you always wanted a Quickbeam? This orange size 56 QB has great 
components and is priced to sell. I purchased it used from a list member in 
2016. I’ve ridden it lightly since then, mainly as a townie/errand bike 
with a small rack and front basket. As anyone who has ridden one will tell 
you, it is a super-fun ride. The Bosco Bullmoose bars are great for 
leverage. Has beausage appropriate for its age, including paint chips and 
scratches, some covered with nail polish. The decal on the downtube is 
deteriorating.  Lots of pictures here 
. 

Price depends on options, described below. 

$1250 (net to me) for the bike complete as shown, *minus pedals, saddle, 
and seatpost*, and *plus shipping* (or free local pickup). This includes 
the following: 

Bosco Bullmoose Handlebars 54

Misha Cork Grips with shellack

Tektro Brake Levers

Front brakes– Paul neo-retro cantis

Rear brakes– Paul touring cantis

Crankset: Sugino triple 170 with chain guard-40-32

Wheels: polished SunRims CR 18 with Paul high flange black hubs and DT 
black spokes

White Industries Dos Eno freewheel 17/19 (red) and Miche Technology  (made 
in Italy) 16 tooth fixed on the flip  side. These have worked great in my 
hilly neighborhood. 

Tires: Compass 700-32  Stampede Pass (lots of life left in them)

Saddle and seatpost – not included. It takes a 27.2 seat post.

If there’s not interest in it as shown, I can offer some flexibility to 
reduce the price. I love the Bosco bullmoose handlebars so if you are 
planning a different cockpit, I will reduce the price by $150  if we 
exclude handlebars, brake levers, and grips. 

For boxing and shipping, I will pay to have it professionally packed by my 
LBS, a bike flights partner. Buyer to arrange and pay for the shipping / 
insurance directly with bike flights, who will pick up the bike from my 
LBS. 

Happy to answer any questions either by reply to this thread or by email. 
Interested in buying? Send me an email and let’s work out the details. 

Val in Boulder, CO

[RBW] Re: On Brakes and Bosses

[JohnS]

Hello John,

I recently had a frame/fork powder coated so it had the same problem, the 
powder coat paint partially filled in the holes. So I used a drill bit to 
ream the holes out. I don't recall which size I used, but I can check if 
needed.

Good luck,
JohnS

Re: [RBW] High bars at a club ride

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Marc Irwin stated:   "The point is that riders don't use that position (I'm 
assuming drops).  Even against the wind, only one with drop bars actually 
got into the lower position.  They all stayed up on the hoods or the flats 
the whole ride."

Typically, this is because their stems are too low and the drops are too 
low to use, unless your a pro rider or a top athlete.   If you raise the 
stem to get the tops at saddle height, the drops are very usuable.  I 
believe Grant P made this point in a RR in the past.

Also, above 15 mph, I can feel the increase drag from the wind resistance 
and go down to the drops to reduce it. Others may be content with being 
more upright, but you need additional energy to do it.  

Just remember, wind resistance varies as the square of the velocity:   15 
mph has 2.25 times the wind drag as at 10 mph ( (15/10)^2 ), even though 
you are going only 1.5 times as fast.If you a going into a headwind, 
the wind speed adds to you wind resistance.

Re: [RBW] FS: Tunitas 139 Basket Bag

[Alex K]

I wish I could say it would work with the half basket, but honestly it's 
gonna be best with a full-sizer.  You'd have to really cinch it down, as 
the bag is already maxing out every square cm of the basket.  It's a 
surprisingly voluminous bag, when fully maxed out and it gets quite tall 
when filled with, say, a large load of laundry.  So, yeas, it would work, 
but if you filled it fully, I'd reckon it might want to lean and/or sway.

Hope that helps.

[RBW] Re: On Brakes and Bosses

[John Rinker]

Thanks John! Actually, it's not the holes that are the problem, but the 
base of the brake bosses, just before the holes, is where the boss is too 
wide to allow the brakes to slide down far enough so that the pin goes into 
a hole. 

Cheers,
John

[RBW] Re: FS: New helmet, bartube, tools, $50 each

[Joe Bernard]

PayPal Friends or Venmo. Prepare to be shocked by shipping, I've calculated 
for two potential buyers so far and it's not cheap!
