[RBW] San Marcos clip in Bicycle Times
Whoa, they've been and are still are as different as the US is to the UK or East Germany was to West. Yes there is shared history but for over six decades, they've been operating as two separate nations with two separate cultures and writing systems. And bringing it back to bikes, two different levels of attention to detail and simple craftsmanship! I'm looking forward to building up my San Marcos frameset this fall as my go-to quick, rando/charity ride/fendered but rackless steed. Will report back in a few months with pics and my own thoughts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rode to work today in flip flops
God, how I hate snobbery on either side of the divide. If you want to ride in flip flops or Bikenstocks, by all means do so. I like riding, sometimes, in floppy Hawaiian shirts. But don't call those who use retention systems fools -- that just shows resentment and meanness. There is a purpose for retention systems, whether one prefers to forgo it or not; just as there is a purpose for pneumatic tires and thinwall tubing (Rivs are made of thinwall tubing).

Re: [RBW] You really will like this video ...
In my view there isn't anything wrong with praising and enjoying bicycle racing. The women's road race in the Olympics was fantastic. The problem with the racing paradigm is that it really becomes a problem when it is the only model for riding bikes. I know folks who are totally into 'all training all the time', they don't race, they won't stop to smell the roses. They don't know what they are missing. If skiing worked like this it would be destroyed as a family sport. If all fishermen were all working to be 'bass masters' it would be sad. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. -JimD On Jul 31, 2012, at 9:00 AM, PATRICK MOORE wrote: You are welcome: I enjoyed it so much I watched it about four times in a row last night.

[RBW] Super geeky tire Q...
The 559 X 60mm Schwalbe Fat Franks on my Surly Big Dummy are getting close to retirement. I've never had a negative issue with their width but I'm open to going a little skinnier... or not. I love the Marathon Supremes on my Hilsen. I saw a tandem with 559 X 50mm Supremes http://www.flickr.com/photos/russroca/7674248186/in/photostream/over the weekend and came down with a serious case of tire lust. I'm considering the Dureme in 559 X 50 that Riv sells. Riv does not sell the Supreme in that width. I'm also tempted to go with the 55mm Big Apples (the standard cargo bike tire around PDX). I would love to hear comparisons/opinions from anyone who has ridden any 2 of Supreme, Dureme, Fat Frank, or Big Apple tires in the 50-60mm width.

[RBW] Positive review of sneakers and tires
Just wanted to let the group know that I'm enjoying two products: - Evolv Cruiser Shoe - Super grippy on touring and king grip pedals, even when wet. Fantastically comfortable to walk around in all day, multiple days. Light weight and breathable. True to size. I got them on sale via Zappos under $50.00. - 37mm Pasela Tires w/out Tourguard on my A. Homer Hilsen. It's so nice to be able to fit a tire this fat with lower pressures under fenders and still ride this bicycle. The bicycle still feels swift and quick but even more comfortable. Really enjoying these. Roughly 200 miles and no flats.

[RBW] Re: Super geeky tire Q...
Hey Andy ... I have the 26x2 Supremes on my LHT and the same size Duremes on my Hunqapllar. Both tires are really good, by which I mean they roll well and provide an abundance of float-ation. I've had the Supremes for over two years with only one flat that's still a mystery (flat the day after the ride with no indication of the cause anywhere). I've had the Duremes for 8 months now, no flats or issues of ay kind. Although I like both tires, my personal preference is for the Dureme. Both are great on pavement, with great grip on either dry or wet surfaces, but the Dureme is a lot more versatile on the trails or sandy areas, where it slides less and has better bite. The Supreme also makes an odd noise on smooth roads ... a medium-pitched hum ... but not annoying enough to worry about. To me and my rather unhurried approach to riding, they both roll equally smooth and fast, and feel about the same. Just better dirt/trail performance from the Dureme. I've posted a review here for the Dureme, which has some comparison, as well as a link to a previous Sumpreme review : * http://velozen.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-schwalbe-marathon-dureme-tires.html *http://velozen.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-schwalbe-marathon-dureme-tires.html Hope it helps ... I'm pretty confident in Schwalbe at this point, and unlikely to buy a different brand when these tires wear out. They do wear out eventually, don't they? I'm starting to wonder ...

[RBW] Trade my large MUSA shorts for your mediums?
I have two pair: green w/ blue accents, blue w/ black accents. These are the old, discontinued style, bought two years ago. Lightly used, they are just too big for me. I have the mediums and they rock. No photos at present. I wore them a handful of times and managed not to drip spaghetti sauce on them. :) I will take either old or new MUSA mediums. Let me know the color and maybe we can do a trade. Last thing- I am touring all weekend, so if I don't reply after Wednesday night, that's why. Back on Monday.

[RBW] Tubus Cosmo Rack Tall bikes
Some tall bikes have really steep seat stays making it impossible to mount most racks nicely. I just replaced my month old Velo Orange steel rack (you can have it for 55 bucks shipped) with a Tubus Cosmo with room to spare. I debated over this one or the Nitto but after some photoshopping I decided the Nitto might not fit either. Highly recconended for tall frames without the extra chainsray length your Riv may or may not provide. - Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
