[RBW] For Trade: Paul brakes/levers

I find myself with a pair of Paul Love Levers (silver) for long pull brakes, and 2 wheels worth of black Paul mini-motos (short pull linear brakes). Ideally I would like to trade the levers for Paul canti levers, or the brakes for Paul motolites. I don't care about color. My components have

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!

They're a perfect fit for me. I tested a Chicomoose which I just purchased but it seemed the ends were too close to me and restrictive. I couldn't figure out how to set up the shifters so decided to postpone that test and install the complete cockpit from the Betty. It feels even more perfect on

[RBW] Re: Hypothetical albastache handlebar setup

I agree with Scott. Had the Choco been out when I bought my Albastache, I would have seriously considered them. Since I was changing from Albatross bars, it would have saved me buying road brake levers. That said, I believe they come back farther than the albastache so that may cause the

Just to give an update on my knee... The MRI showed it was not a meniscus tear. It's an ACL tear. It is not likely to be going bone on bone anytime soon, but it will delay recovery. I will be getting reconstruction surgery late October or early November followed by six months of rehab. I kind

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!

I find it interesting that you are using the Ahearne bars. I have the Nitto and Soma versions of that bar on 2 of my other bikes and for a while that was my default go-to bar. I wouldn't have thought that it would fit well on a Cheviot just due to not much back sweep. I recently a Cheviot

[RBW] Re: Hypothetical albastache handlebar setup

No experience with the albastache but I used the moustache on my commuter for many years. With bar end shifters and brake levers on the curves, I found it to be the very best bar I ever used for riding in heavy traffic. The quick transition from shifters to brakes and the semi-upright riding

[RBW] Re: Hypothetical albastache handlebar setup

Hi Jeremy, I think the reason the Riv came out with the Choco bars is so that they could fill the space of the albastache but be able to use mountain brake levers. You may want to consider. On Sunday, September 25, 2016 at 8:49:32 PM UTC-6, Jeremy Tavan wrote: > > I'm putting together a

Thanks all who replied! For clarification, this is for a 26" wheeled 1" threaded steer tubed fork. There's lots of clearance on the rear wheel for smart sam 2.1"ers but up front the wide rim I put in barely fits between the blades. I never thought to measure that and I'm bummed because I

I Have an original Hunqapillar fork (700c) version that will be for sale shortly or faster, if you want it. It was for 58cm Hunq so you would need to probably have the steer cut to size, threaded and then have the canti posts moved to where you need too for a 26" wheel. Send me a message if you
