[RBW] WTT SON 28 32h for SON 28 36h or SON 20R 36h
I have a lightly used polished aluminum SON 28 32h hub to trade for either a polished aluminum SON 28 36h or SON 20R 36h. There are at most 500 miles on the hub. The bike was stored indoors day and night. Urban, paved road riding only. Thinking the best way to work with be an equal exchange of money via paypal.

[RBW] Re: For Sale: My Quickbeam's Stock Wheelset
I would like to purchase if its still available. -Rocky On Aug 23, 8:09 pm, Mike Shaljian mikeshalj...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings All, I am looking to sell the stock wheelset from the Quickbeam I purchased directly from Rivendell in May of this year. I had the wheels on for just a couple weeks and rode definitely under 100 miles on them. I've since replaced them with Phil/Mavic A719 custom wheels, so I just have no need for them -- there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, they're 99.9% true too. The wheels consist of a 32h Mavic Open Sport rim, Suzue high - flange track hubs w/ quick release skewers (120mm rear/100mm front), and I'm sure very good spokes of I - don't - know - which make and gauge. They have a Polylite plastic rim strip. I would be happy to get a picture up for a prospective buyer, but I can't get to it at the time of posting, right here and now. The wheels are in like new condition with no significant blemishes or defects. When I spoke with John @ Riv before buying and I asked him what the estimated value of the wheels would be if they were sold as a standalone wheelset, he said about $350. Being that they have rolled off the showroom floor, I'm offering them here for $250/set + s/h. I believe the shipping will be $20 per wheel. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] standard (long) reach brake questions
Hi, group, I just installed a set of tektro R538 big mouth 57 brake calipers on my wife's Ebisu which should take 700x28C tires with fenders. However, because the bottom of the caliper arms stick out below the brake bolt quite a bit to further limit the tire clearance. Currently the bike has 700x28c pasela tg tires on (which actually measures 25.5mm on Mavic Open pro rims) and I doubt I can even put 35mm fenders on! I know the benefit of these big mouth brakes is that it opens wide enough for wide tires to come off without deflating, but are there other long (47-57mm) long reach brakes that have caliper arms sticking down less beyond the brake bolt? Does this make sense to anyone? thanks, franklyn --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: standard (long) reach brake questions
Yes Franklyn, you make perfect sense to me. Many of us have read GP's thoughts on placing the brake hole, and his belief that a lower hole extends brake clearance. For single pivot brakes this is completely true because the brake arms stay at or above the pivot/bolt. But dual pivot brakes, as you have discovered, slope down from the hole, and, if the hole is set low, as GP recommends, the brake will be below the fork crown, crowding fenders and tires. My wife, Patricia, runs Pasella speedblends (32mm actual, 35 mm stated) under Esge fenders and Suntour Superbe single pivot brakes on a 1983 Specialized Sequoia. I have run both Campy Grand Sport Single pivot and Ultegra dual pivot on my Rambouillet with Honjo fenders. The Ultegra work but the Campy GS offer better clearance and do not contact the fenders. The Campy's are actually 59mm brakes so they give more than the standard 57mm. DP brakes have a lighter action than SP. I know that many people have found single pivot hard to live with, but that has not been my experience. Centering SP. brakes requires a 13mm offset cone wrench, but once you have that it's pretty simple. The brakes don't come out of alignment, but like DP, they get knocked out. I carry the cone wrench with me for the Campy's but the Suntours stay aligned so well that I don't bother, unless the bike is likely to be stuffed into our car. Bottom line, if you want to maximize brake reach, keep an eye on ebay for a set of late-mid '80s single pivot brakes and buy a 13 mm offset cone wrench from Park. Maybe some on this list has a pair they would part, but I don't. Of course there's always the center pull option. If she has a birthday coming up maybe someone will spring for a set of Paul's for your wife! peace; keep the rubber side down the sunny side up, michael On Aug 24, 12:53 pm, franklyn frankly...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, group, I just installed a set of tektro R538 big mouth 57 brake calipers on my wife's Ebisu which should take 700x28C tires with fenders.

[RBW] Re: standard (long) reach brake questions
Michael, thanks for the advice, that's helpful. The paul racers reach range is 57mm and larger, and her bike's front brake reach is 52mm, so the racers won't work. I know for sure that there was one prototype Paul made for Rivendell that had shorter reach (i have pictures from a previous owner to prove it). If someone on this list happens to own that and want to part with, i would be happy to pay good money for it.

[RBW] Re: For Sale: My Quickbeam's Stock Wheelset
This wheelset has been claimed by Rocky.

I had the wheels on for just a couple weeks and rode definitely under 100 miles on them. I've since replaced them with Phil/Mavic A719 custom wheels, so I just have no need for them -- there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, they're 99.9% true too. The wheels consist of a 32h Mavic Open Sport rim, Suzue high - flange track hubs w/ quick release skewers (120mm rear/100mm front), and I'm sure very good spokes of I - don't - know - which make and gauge. They have a Polylite plastic rim strip. I would be happy to get a picture up for a prospective buyer, but I can't get to it at the time of posting, right here and now. The wheels are in like new condition with no significant blemishes or defects. When I spoke with John @ Riv before buying and I asked him what the estimated value of the wheels would be if they were sold as a standalone wheelset, he said about $350. Being that they have rolled off the showroom floor, I'm offering them here for $250/set + s/h. I believe the shipping will be $20 per wheel. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam in Denver
Hey Leslie, That might have been mine. I've seen one other QB (orange, I think) in passing since I moved here last month. I had been looking forward to RMBS for a while, but a crazy busy weekend keep me away. Look forward to seeing your pics! -Jay Denver, CO On Aug 24, 1:46 pm, Lesli lesli.lar...@gmail.com wrote: Saw a snappy looking silver Quickbeam in downtown Denver yesterday in full Riv regalia.

not sure why, but somehow the bike photo reminded me of the famous 2001 Space Odyssey scene: http://tiny.cc/ZDDJ3 On Aug 23, 7:08 pm, CycloFiend cyclofi...@earthlink.net wrote: It just seems like every time I go onto the Rivendell Bicycle Works site of late, there's an even more enjoyable image on the main page.

[RBW] Looking to purchase a Rambouillet Frameset
Hello, I am on the hunt for a 56 Rambouillet Frameset. Or a Romulus (I know they were odd sized, I would be looking for a 57). I'd love to just buy a frameset, I have enough parts at home to build up four bikes at this point, and am willing to pay a reasonable price as well as shipping. I also have a stockpile of Riv related parts, Grip Kings, some Albatross bars, and so on that I would be willing to trade for a bit of a price reduction. Let me know off list. Thanks! -Aili --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Looking to purchase a Rambouillet Frameset
Did you try checking the Frame Specials area on the Riv site? http://www.rivbike.com/products/list/frame_specials#product=50-172 I know they were selling several left-over Rambouillet framesets. Some of the left-over frames were size 56. You'd probably have to call them to see if they still have that size in stock. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
