[RBW] Samuel Hilborne 2013 Christmas Ride

Somehow, I may had made adequate attribution to Our Lord at services and DW at home, and time was allotted on Christmas day for Sam Hilborne's first Christmas run. We are having one of those once in a decade warm spells. My Bike computer usually runs about 10 degrees warm, so the real air tem

Re: [RBW] Bleriot First Ride

I've ridden all the tires mentioned and reported my own findings. The G.B. Oursons use the same tread as CdV but on a better body. Also ride nicer and to me quicker. On 12/25/2013 4:50 PM, Steve Palincsar wrote: On 12/25/2013 05:35 PM, Bruce Herbitter wrote: The CdVs are slow tires. Nifty Swi

I agree with fullylugged. Throw some Grand Bois on it and give it a run. I also think (with me at least) it's splitting hairs but the Grand Bois tires just seem to ride nicer and hence probably feel faster. A Bleriot is the bike that converted me. Enjoy it! On Wednesday, December 25, 2013 1:39

Re: [RBW] Bleriot First Ride

The CdVs are slow tires. Nifty Swiftys are flat resistant but the Maxy Fasty is nicer in my book for quick riding. Looking forward to the rest of your impressions. On 12/25/2013 1:39 PM, Eric Norris wrote: Here are a few quick shots of my new-to-me Bleriot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyo

Re: [RBW] Bleriot First Ride

I'll be interested to hear how you feel it compares to a 700c ride. Patrick Moore, who got two pairs of DeFeet Wool Duragloves and a badger hair shaving brush for Christmas. On Wed, Dec 25, 2013 at 12:39 PM, Eric Norris wrote: > Here are a few quick shots of my new-to-me Bleriot: > > http://ww

Here are a few quick shots of my new-to-me Bleriot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/sets/72157639017448075/ This comes to me from Chris in North Dakota. I added a Brooks saddle and fenders, changed the bar tape from green to leathery brown, swapped the Nifty Swifty tires for a set of

Re: [RBW] Re: Winter Solstice Hike a Bike S240

I think if your going to go off road then in the 650b it's either some iteration of the marathon or another Schwalbe tire and the Fatty Runmkin's for durability.It's always a compromise between supple feel and flat resistance...when your touring the last thing you feel like doing is unloading panni

My mistake. Synergies are actually 23 mm. I plan to use the 23 mm rim/ 38 mm Soma tire combination for road riding. Merry Christmas, Tom On Tuesday, December 24, 2013 8:47:05 AM UTC-8, Michael wrote: > > 26mm for th

Threading a steer tube is not a big deal with the right tools. It's not a bike shop capability normally, but most framebuilders and metal working shops have the right tools. Cut threads are plenty durable too, they are used extensively all over the Space Shuttle Main Engines. I've had it done

Excellent! I'll probably be riding my newly alba-equipped Atlantis. Any more takers? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsub
