That is great that you were able to dial up the wattage and make your 
escape!

Are those Caribou?

Nice shots, as always! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your rambles.

Re: [RBW] Less expensive 650b alternatives to Compass/GB tires?

$51 for Extra Leger Lierres, $37 for regular ones, per current
exchange rates on xe.com, that's pretty good.

How do you get them shipped to the US?  The Grand Bois site is very
Japanese heavy.  When I try to use Google Translate it tells me the
page is already in English.

Re: [RBW] Less expensive 650b alternatives to Compass/GB tires?

[Deacon Patrick]

The quest for cheep and "good enough" often costs more than "spectacular." 
Why? Spectacular is accomplished by so few, there are 1-4 in any given 
market and slight research will narrow that down to 1-2 for specific 
desires. But everyone does "cheep" and claims some version of "good enough."

You may have a point. But most reports that I have heard say the Cols are

I might have to just shut my trap and come up out of the pocket for those Loups

[RBW] Re: BBH Closing?

[Lungimsam]

It is sad that they are closing. Maybe it is the economy-to-price-of-goods 
ratio these days. I don't know.

I think it is difficult to sell bikes/parts in the USA these days. If you 
have read the Rivendell readers, you know of RBW's struggles through the 
years.

Quality cycling gear is a very expensive now *in the USA*. I don't know if 
it is the economy or what. 
I'm not talking Target/WalMart/Sears. I am talking *LBS and up*.
*Go into any LBS*. How many people *in the USA* can afford to shell out 
900$ for an entry level road bike these days? 40$ gloves? A 65$ helmet? $80 
shoes?

It is too bad that these great bikes (LBS, RBW, Boulder, Weigle, 
Litespeed, etc.) aren't financially accessible to everyone.
*Maybe it is not so much the helmets keeping people from cycling, but the 
prices the market bears these days.*

CIA factbook today says that "per capita GDP of $54,800" in USA. How many 
want to/are able to buy a 1000$ US bike and the parts? How many can you 
sell in this economy?

Sometimes I think the US cycling industry is going to implode on itself if 
the prices get much higher.

Re: [RBW] Less expensive 650b alternatives to Compass/GB tires?

[Joe Broach]

​Lungimsam​ bemoaned:

I have enjoyed mine, but they...are...soexpensive When you add in
shipping it comes to like 70+ bucks per tire for the Loup Loups. Love these
tires and highly recommend them, though.

If the expense is taking the fun out of it, put on a $40 pair of Col de la
Vies and enjoy the next 10,000 miles. Everyone used to love 'em before they
knew better, and they're still leagues better riding than the average tire.
They will degrade if stored in the sun, though. Just a thought!

[RBW] Re: Line of Sight movie has atrocious cyclists. What is going on?

[Wayne Naha]

Thank you for brining this movie to my attention.  It was a delight to 
watch.  Was I ever that young, dumb, and full of such reckless energy?  A 
*little* disappointed not to see a Clem being ridden, but so it goes.  I 
can see this movie being used as evidence at a Senate committee hearing to 
outlaw these dangerous bicycles and keep our streets safe.  But one only 
has to look at how many pedestrians are injured or killed by bicyclists as 
opposed to cars, the number of bicyclists killed by cars to see where the 
real threat is coming from.  But yeah, these guys are not helping, and many 
times are saved from a crash by the good reaction times of others.  It does 
seem selfish and self-centered to me, to be riding around the streets like 
like that, with very little regard for the safety and well-being of the 
other users.  But they are young and dumb.  There's plenty of kids who have 
wrapped cars around telephone poles and smeared themselves across the 
pavement on motorcycles.  This is doubtless a much safer adrenaline rush 
than an overpowered car or motorcycle.

[RBW] Re: Less expensive 650b alternatives to Compass/GB tires?

[franklyn]

I just responded to a similar question on the 650b group:

1. Schwalbe Kojak. In 650b/27.5 size, it comes in 1.35" width. And these 
tires measure ~ 34mm on Synergy rims. 

2. Soma B-line. I have never seen these measure more than 37mm, even on the 
wide-ish Pacenti SL23 rims.

3. as a replacement for Loup Loup, you can also add the new Pari Moto. They 
have become more robust than the first-gen event tires, and they are pretty 
modestly priced (you can get on for $35 per tire from Boulder, Universal 
Cycles or eBay).

Best,
Franklyn

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

[Joe Bernard]

I believe the blue one I saw Grant riding has a Hunqa fork; #3 is smaller and 
uses a Sam fork (road brakes). Other than size and brakes, they look like the 
same design to me.

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

[David Banzer]

Looking back at photos of the first prototype, it's a different bike than 
what materialized - the prototype had a much taller front end and used a 
cantilever-brake fork.

[RBW] Re: Anyone try the new Maxxis Torch 29 x 2.10 tires?

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks for posting this!  I love Big Apples so I suspect I'll like the 
Torch tires even more!

  For frank or anyone who may have these tires what do they actually 
measure in width and height and with what width rim are you measuring them 
with ?  

thanks !

How many at a time are you trying to upload? From what I have read of others 
with this issue it seems best to not do more than 20 or 30 at a time.
