[RBW] Re: Bar Ends vs Paul Thumbies? Anyone tried both?
Thank you everyone for your info opinions. You've all been a big help. It looks like reversed Thumbies under the brake levers might be the way to go with the Ergons. And thanks for pointing out the GC-1's, I had forgotten about those, and they look near perfect for the Alba's. It's also good to know I'm not the only one who keeps bumping their bar end shifters. I felt like a complete klutz. I think I'll ride my current set up a week or two more before I make up my mind, but I think it's a matter of my aesthetics arguing with my hands. My aesthetics are so darn argumentative! Thanks again, John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Boeshield and resistance?
Will: seriously, does cold weather affect air density and tire rubber flexibility enough to make a noticeable difference in effort required for a given speed? Dear Patrick, Air density: yes. It decreases about ten percent from zero C to 20 C. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air for a chart. Power dissipation due to air resistance is linear with respect to air density, so a ten percent increase in density equals a ten percent increase in drag. Rubber, don't have the numbers, but the rolldown tests Jan Heine did had to be corrected to a standard temperature, and he was working over a range of ten degrees F or so. Does it matter? Only if the engine decides it does.

The liquid version. I figure it dries as a wax and sheds so let me get alot on there to make as big a barrier as possible against the salts.

[RBW] Re: Question on Big Ben handling
One alternative thing to check before you completely give up on the big bens: are the tires evenly seated all the way around the rim? Sometimes big, low pressure tires can have a bit of a wobble on the rim, caused by the bead being stuck down in the rim in parts. I wouldn't be surprised if you could be feeling that wobbliness in cornering. There is a line on the tire just above the bead called the witness line. If you spin the wheel and examine the tire/rim interface as it's spinning, the witness line should sit just above the rim all the way around, not dive into the rim at any point. If you have any low spots, try pumping up the tire to maximum psi, or even a little bit higher, so see if you can get the bead to seat. If there's still a low spot, deflate the tire and apply some soapy water between the bead in rim in the area where the low spot was before re-inflating to maximum psi (don't forget to wipe off your rim when you're done). Once the tire's evenly seated, you can deflate back to your preferred riding pressure. On Sunday, January 25, 2015 at 2:29:09 PM UTC-8, DS wrote: Does anyone notice or have any input on handling with a Big Ben or balloon type tire? Especially on cornering on fast descents? Reason I ask is, I just bought some Big Bens (26 x 2.15) for my Hunqapillar for mixed ride use. Took them out for a first ride a few weeks ago, had a bad crash while on a somewhat but not terribly fast descent on pavement, turning into a curve, though I'm 95% sure it was due to a way under inflated tire (I had a flat about 20 minutes before that on the trails and replaced tube but feel I did not inflate enough for the ride home). Today, went out with properly-ish inflated tires (34 front, 40 psi rear), but still felt like the bike was squirrely on turns and it felt like the bike was going to slide out underneath me on some moderate turns, so I took them pretty slow. But, it was also my first ride back since the crash, so maybe that had something else to do with it. Anyone else have any comments on the handling of these? Am I imagining things and being overly sensitive due to the crash and this is user error? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Tubeless Rims for Oregon Outback
I picked up a pair of SL23s in Pacenti's post-Christmas sale, the silver are sold out but they still have the black on sale on Amazon. Half off MSRP...

[RBW] Go with the flow
Sadly I have earn a somewhat interesting reputation for having ridiculous rides. Not always the case but whatever. Thing is the rides continue to bring like-minded crazy folks looking for something dumb. The original ride was suppose to be just a road ride to a dirt hill, but much to the groups general restlessness, I unwittingly went with the flow. And the flow was good. John Potis, rando-guru, Knower of Trails, led us through the foothills or beautiful Mt.Tam and ended up where we needed despite losing a few due to burrito emergencies. The extra time gave way to cooler temps on the 680 trail and helped us blast our way to the last Ferry home. Only one flat and one minor spill. Pretty good way to spend the Super Bowl weekend Pictures Proved that when Potis leds it's usually going to be good. https://flic.kr/s/aHsk7wyH7k Manny The kitty bowl was amazing Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Big Mid-Atlantic Bike Swap Meet
I plan on being there. I'll have to check if I have to register an individual bike for sale, I thought they had a special spot just in the door for that, but its been years since I went. I have an Adams signature (local MD builder in the 80's) I want to give a good home. -Dave On Monday, February 2, 2015 at 5:52:35 PM UTC-5, islaysteve wrote: In case local folks aren't aware, Stop Swap Save in Westminster MD is next Sunday, 2/8. I haven't been before but it looks like fun, so I'm looking forward to attending and hoping for decent driving weather. The event is indoors. The website is stopswapandsave.com. It's too late to get a selling space, don't know if individual bike spaces are still available.

[RBW] Re: Go with the flow
I started using the term stand around ride. Because we usually regroup and make jokes and drink water, rather then rando style go-go-go mode. Both are super fun and for someone like me with a really packed schedule, every ride with friends is worth gold. My bikes now reflect the stupidity of the majority of rides I do, fat tires for road rides, lights for riding in the day, food carrier for short rides and down jacket in good weather. PS-let's get another camp out in the books. On Monday, February 2, 2015 at 10:18:01 AM UTC-8, Manuel Acosta wrote: Sadly I have earn a somewhat interesting reputation for having ridiculous rides.
