[RBW] Re: 650b All Rounder
My experience is roughly the same as Tim's. While the chainstay and fork clearance looks to be more than enough for wide 650B tires, my stumbling block has been the canti brakes. My preliminary measurements indicated that none of the canti's I own has enough vertical adjustment to reach the 650B rim. Can anybody recommend a canti brake that has enough vertical adjustment so that it can reach the 650B rim using canti posts designed for 26 inch? At the moment, I have Avid Shortys on the bike which I don't love, so I'd be happy to switch to a canti that is 650B compatible Thanks, ...Roy BTW My All-Rounder is definitely 1-2mi/hr slower than my other roadbikes, (even if I run 1.25in tires) but sometimes that's what a ride calls for.

Roy, this has been covered in the past on this list or on the 650B list so a search of archives should disclose those cantis that have more adjustability.

[RBW] Re: 650b All Rounder
Ron: Thanks for the Dave Moulton article about BB height. Grant has many times made the case that a bike with a lower BB has some handling advantage, which I never fully understood, and, since it came from Grant, I never questioned the wisdom. In recent years, however, I have had quite a bit of experience with higher BB bikes, and have come to slightly prefer the higher BB (feels more stable, easier to go no-handed, easier to run over stuff). Of course, I live in Minnesota where the terrain and road layout is generally different than it is in Walnut Creek. Perhaps a daily diet of steep, winding roads would change my tune. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: 650b All Rounder
I did this with my early 80s Specialized Stumpjumper, and I concluded it was a bad idea on that bike. Ultimately, I went back to 26 for the greatly increased variety of suitable tires. I used the Paul Motolite brakes (not worth the $$$ IMO), but it could probably be done with other cantilever brakes. In my experience, V-brakes tend to have more adjustment, generally. You need only a half-inch of upward adjustment, and I'm just guessing Grant designed the bike around having the pads closer to the bottom of the slot for typical cantilevers. My sense is that brakes are not likely to be much of a stumbling block. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: 650b All Rounder
You can do lots of things with brakes.

Both descriptions state that they can take wheels up to 40mm with fenders. Yet I see many Sam with hetres and honjos. But from what I'm hearing for all of you is that Betty may not do the same? Has anyone tried the hetres and honjos on the Betty? Is it the extra stay that is causing the clearance problems?

They don't fit with the Honjo fenders Jan recommends, and then the question is can everything work with Hetres and narrower Honjo fenders or SKS fenders... maybe. IIRC, the largest Honjo fenders that fit are 47mm, so the fit between them and the Hetres may not be as good.

[RBW] Re: Helmet Cameras Capture Bad Driving
I just watched the video again and didn't hear the cyclist banging on the side of the van. I guess if I was being crowded off the road by a panel van (with the driver on the ride side of the vehicle) I'd certainly be likely to try to get the driver's attention in any way practical. I don't think cyclists should be so deferential that they become road kill. Jim Cloud Tucson, AZ On Feb 1, 8:32 pm, robert zeidler zeidler.rob...@gmail.com wrote: Banging on the side of the vehicle?

[RBW] Re: Rivendell All-Rounder - 54 cm PIN STRIPE
I'm sure that the All-Rounder was available with pin striping. I had my 1996 Riv Road Standard pin striped as an option when it was purchased (this was, of course, a Waterford built frame).
