It is very handy for road side adjustments. Fully loaded I have a klick stick stand. Some guy makes them out of his garage. They are real light aluminum designed similar to tent poles with a open end that fits where the seat tube and top tube come together. The stick comes with bands that hold the breaks against the wheel. It has worked great for me with up to a 65 pound load.

I guess for the $8 it cost I should really only expect it to keep an unloaded bike balanced. I just picked up an old Raleigh 3 speed Sport that has an after market rear triangle stand and I can tell already that it is more stable than the center mounted greenfield.

Is that right? But it looks wider and more stable than the Pletscher, which I found inadequate -- certainly not as good for eccentric rear loads as a cheap Greenfield rear-triangle-mount stand, and certainly *certainly* not as good as the VO. I opine that, for the price (~US27) the VO is value king, but we'll see how long it holds up. It is a bit lighter than the Hebie at 1 1/2 lb of good ol' Amurkin aluminum. (Actually, that's good ol' Amerkin *Chinese* aluminum.) The Greenfield is great in stores. I wheel the bike through the store as my shopping cart with the stand down despite the eternally circling fixed drivetrain crankset; I can simply let go as I browse the aisles of plenty, AND it supports even a way-offside left side load if you turn the wheel all the way to the right. Cheap, black and effective: what else do you need? I'd put one on the Sam Hill in place of the VO but the SH has that bb plate which just demands to be used.

The Hebie is truly panzeresque in both its build quality and weight, but an extra kilo won't hurt too bad on a utility bike. I did have to shim a bit with a piece of aluminum bar stock so the inside of the bipod wouldn't rub on the 700x37 tire on her bike, but it works great to keep the bike stable when the Burley's attached. --dlloyd On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 16:43, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote: Note: large, heavy, clunky and, since the legs don't retract as fully as the Pletscher's, your chain may rub on them, though you can adjust the degree to which the legs do retract (or their retracted angle, if you prefer) which is what I did to solve the rubbing problem -- there is a set screw that allows you to reduce the degree of retraction. But, still, if a stand's job is to support a bike, IME, the VO works considerably better than the Pletscher. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: contemplating change: 1999 longlow
Or perhaps 650A ? As an interim measure- Both the Sun CR-18 and the Col de la Vie are available in ISO590 from Harris. A set of the 55-73mm dual pivot brakes /might/ work with the brake bridge where it is. You would lose about 1cm BB height, and 3mm trail, or so. On Dec 13, 11:24 am, doc gspi...@aol.com wrote: 650B?

My 1999 LongLow could be much more bike, and getting a framebuilder to add canti braze-ons and perhaps raise the rear brake bridge a touch would -- SHOULD -- probably cost me less than buying another bike (sorry, Grant). To that end, how much should I expect to pay for these modifications? I have another bike to ride in the meantime so I can handle a couple months' wait but probably not much more than that. Also, while I live in framebuilder-glutted Portland, the builders I know personally are all heavily booked into the next decade. Suggestions for a second-tier builder whose wait-list is shorter would be welcome.

[RBW] Re: panniers
Rivendell News, August 20th 2009 http://www.rivbike.com/blogs/news_post/148 We WILL have panniers and a messenger bag (--maybe on that) in the Spring. There are still some mounting details to work out for the panniers. The big companies use plastic hardware that their in-house industrial designers design, then they order millions of them to get the per-piece cost down, and that's not in the cards for us. If we can work out a dumbed-down version that works 95 percent as well, we'll go that way. We're about 75 percent of the way there now, but it's not on the front-burner right now.

[RBW] Re: Looking for that String in The Custom Color Labyrinth
Your choice of blue appears to be a great complement to the Sam Hillborne graphics. It would be interesting to see a picture of your SH, next to a standard blue AHH, in unbiased lighting. The August write-up detailing your 3 month experience and observations on the Hillborne is very insightful- thanks for posting that.

I first found something that was the right color (for the life of me I can't remember what it was), used the computer to look at the paint chips vs. the real thing.

I ended up going with post office blue 2 from this pagehttp://bit.ly/CjsGk It was a bit hard for me to imagine the paint chip from the web page on the bike but in the end it seemed to work out.

I have taken part in several enthusiast forums in the past and hope to enjoy getting hooked up with other riders. My reason for posting: I really would like some direction on how one selects and communicates a custom bike color! I have placed my money on a new AHH, but have not told RBW whether I want the standard blue color(s) or custom. Now, I have ridden the same bike (1974 Fuji Finest) since high school. This is the first real new bike I will have had in all these years, so it is something that I have to do right for myself. Blue is good, but a rich earthy green is what really appeals to me. Like this bike identified as Blue Lemon Photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/eldukedegreaser/3516760819/in/pool-12565... ). How and where does a guy go to look at colors? I look around me every day, but how do you identify and communicate a color to the RBW folks? Thanks for any help on this project. It is a big commitment for me and I don't want buyer's remorse just because the color isn't just so!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
