Re: [RBW] Weight weenie report. Dia Compe 980 brakes

2020-03-16 Thread David Hays 
Hi Angelo,
In just went out and checked my RB-t. I had gone with Shimano of similar style 
but not exeactly the same as my model and especially tight canti post 
clearances.
I have ordered a set of these for my Appaloosa that’s on it’s way.
I’ll let you know how they are.

[RBW] Weight weenie report. Dia Compe 980 brakes

2018-08-22 Thread Bill Schairer 
Compass claims their Rene Herse to be 75g if you want to shave off another 7g 
per wheel.  Don’t know what the $/g might work out to be...

[RBW] Weight weenie report. Dia Compe 980 brakes

2018-08-22 Thread John G. 
Any thoughts on the vertical adjustability of the pads?  Wondering if they’d 
suit a 27inch to 700c conversion. I guess Canti post spacing is also an issue 
that is have to consider.

[RBW] Weight weenie report. Dia Compe 980 brakes

2018-08-22 Thread Bill Lindsay 
I've got a road build coming up that will use cantilever brakes.  I've got 
a TON of cantilever brakes in my stash, but even so I decided to buy more.  
I really like the super simple, minimalist design of the Dia Compe 980s 
that Riv now sells.  I decided to buy two bikes worth and I'm going to 
shape and polish one set.  They seem about as light as cantilever brakes 
can possibly be, so I decided to do a weigh-off compared to some Paul 
Touring cantilevers in my parts box.  I weighed two arms, with springs, and 
with the mounting bolts.  I did not include straddle cables or straddle 
hangers or brake pads.  Arms to arms, the 980s are a few grams lighter 82g 
vs 91g.  I'll post photos and updated weights after they are polished.  
After I've got them on my new build, I'll report back on how well they 
work.  I like that they are forged, light and cheap.  Hopefully I can 
polish them pretty, and hopefully they work well.

[RBW] Weight weenie correction, or Pendo, ergo sum et sunt

2013-01-27 Thread PATRICK MOORE 
(That's pendo', not pendejo).

My trusty digital luggage scale now tells me that the Fargo, sans luggage
and repair kit, is a svelte 31.58 lb with the Kojak wheelset. To make up
for that, I carried 44 lb of groceries home just now.

That's an average of 31 lb, which puts me smack in approved Rivendell 
territory.
