[RBW] Re: 64cm Clem L ( should I preorder)
Since you're asking, that probably means you "need" one; I'd order one if I didn't already have the 65 Clem H.

[RBW] Re: Admissions of Things You Ought to Have Known But Did Not: A Thread
I'll play; I learned two things on one incident with square taper crank removal. First thing is checking for a washer after removing a crank bolt is a step whose importance should not be underestimated. Second thing is when turning a bolt is ridiculously difficult, especially on a bike, you should (nearly always) stop trying to turn the bolt. I stopped after crank removal tool removed crank dust cap threads, caused by tool pressing on the left-behind washer instead of bottom bracket axle. I remember seeing little silver threads right before it became much easier to turn the crank removal handle. I guess I learned a third lesson - how to use drill chuck wedges to remove a stripped crank arm... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lighten Up: Clem Edition
You're correct, Patrick. My un-lightened gigantic 65cm Clem weighed 30.2 lbs, as delivered from Rivendell; no fenders, racks, etc. Not a lightweight and not ridiculously heavy; I like it.

[RBW] Re: Lighten Up: Clem Edition
As a Clem H owner (65 cm mustard), I just wanted to share that I am loving this thread; what a wonderful distraction from real life. I agree the concept may sound a bit ridiculous (I mean that in the best way, I love ridiculousness, especially with bike things) and that's what makes it so much fun. A great way to fill part of the day, play with the the bike, and learn. Keep it up, Leah.

Very nice gesture, and excellent price on some nice chainrings. On Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 2:41:12 PM UTC-5, David B wrote: > > Bumping up this deal.
