Re: [RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

I've used both on different bikes, the berthoud feel amazing and install easy. I find them very easy to make completely silent and they stay that way. The VO's are more fiddly but I suppose are lighter. It's not a contest for me, berthoud all the way. Mine took powdercoating matching my

Re: [RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

Buy the VO fenders and use Berthoud stays and attachment hardware available at Ben's cycle. That is what I did. The VO stay attachments are clunky looking and on the front. cn contribute to toe overlap depending on the bike. It did on my Hilsen , so I switched over to the Berthoud stays. On

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam vs. Simpleone: What's the difference?

Simpleone is canti as well. Earlier info before it was released suggested it was going to be long reach calipers, but it ended up being built with canti brakes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam vs. Simpleone: What's the difference?

I'm partial to canti-brakes since I bought my first Stumpjumper back in '82 (I had two more in the '90's), so I'm glad to have a QB. It's a blast to ride! I've started a job near BWI airport and I'm planning to ride the BWI and B trails with it next week. May have to up the chain ring or size

Re: [RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

I've used (up) about 3 pairs of Berthoud stainless steel fenders on my '03 Riv (3d time lucky) and I used another pair on another Rivendell. Oddly, they dent more easily than the 2 pairs of hammered Honjos I've used; whether this be the aluminum or the texture. Too bad no one carries Honjo 559 X

[RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

I am eventually going to get around to putting bigger fenders on my Appaloosa, and was looking at VO's 700x63 and Berthoud's 700x60 from Peter White. Any experience or differences? It looks like the Berthoud's are predrilled in the same way, for the stays, so you have to add a hole for a rack

[RBW] Opinions on Dove Bars

Hi all- I wanted to know if anyone here had any experiences with Nitto Dove bars? If so, I’d be interested in your thoughts. How did you like them? Do they have as much backward length as the Albas? Similar sweep angle? Enough for a forward position? Hard to find much info online. I’m an

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!

Hi Steve, Personally I love drop bars. They are my favorite bars to use. :) The bike falling over can move a lever out of place. Then it is up to the rider if it matters to them or not how perfect they realign it, and the procedure they use. Drops are not, in and of themselves, hard to set

[RBW] Re: question re hub-dynamo drag

In the last year, I have converted at least 7 bikes to dynamo hubs. Initially I was worried about drag, but it is very minimal when you are on the bike and moving. My first hub was a SON. Since then I've laced up 3 Shimano & 3 or 4 Shutter Precisions. The SON is probably the best overall

[RBW] Re: Rat Trap Pass tubeless on Atlas rims?

I had issues setting up Blunt 35 rims tubeless. Any little bump seemed to make the tire burp. So I went split tubeless using 20 or 24" tubes and have had no issues since, even running super low pressures. Super easy set up, no tape to worry about. That's what I'd recommend. On Sunday,
