[RBW] Re: 1st Bombadil on Treasure Island

No shuttle needed if on bike. But be careful riding down the hill to Yerba Buena. There are some deep holes for storm drain grates that could send you over the bars. As to finding the path, if you're at MacArthur BART, just head towards the bay on 40th street and you'll see signs when you

[RBW] Question about tandem chains

If you get off bart at the west oakland station, you can then ride the "bay trail" around over to the bridge. That portion of the "bay trail" is interesting, some might say sketchy. But Middle Harbor Shoreline Park is kinda interesting to check out as well. Take a look at the bottom portion of

[RBW] Re: VO Randonneur Front Rack on Sam Hillborne

As a data point the strut leg end meets my forks on my Bleriot at about the 11 1/2 cm, as measured straight down the side of the fork blade from the top edge of the fork crown lug. And that is with the rack set as low as possible with the tang bent as low as possible over the break calipers.

[RBW] Re: In search of trade: Long shot, at that - 56cm Hillborne for something that fits me better

Close, but knowing what my perfect bike frame is, with a 100 or 110mm stem is, the Bleriot would have me too stretched out as well. On Monday, October 24, 2016 at 10:37:31 AM UTC-4, jeffrey kane wrote: > > Igor, Igor, Igor ... you should have just snapped up my Belriot when you > had the

Re: [RBW] Ultegra Bar End Question/Conundrum

Bob- Thanks for eliminating my suggestions. If you're encountering a "hard stop" about halfway through the lever travel, it sounds like you did assemble the shifter wrong, specifically the chrome "castle" spacer between the pod and the lever. Try rotating that spacer 90 degrees, and

Re: [RBW] Ultegra Bar End Question/Conundrum

Thanks, Tim. 1. I haven't adjusted the limit screws at all and the previous shifters pulled plenty of cable for my xd2 triple, so I don't think this is the problem. 2. I noticed "hard stop" of the shifter around the middle position prior to tensioning the FD cable, so I don't think this is it,

Re: [RBW] Ultegra Bar End Question/Conundrum

Bob- There is only one version of the Shimano bar-end shifters, and it has enough cable pull for triples. 1) The cable pull may be limited by the limit screws on the front derailleur. 2) It may be that you tensioned the FD cable while the shifter was not in the full-down position. 3) You may be

[RBW] Re: VO Randonneur Front Rack on Sam Hillborne

Not sure if it's a perfect match, but Tubus sells some mid-fork eyelets for mounting their racks on forks that don't have the necessary eyelets. I bought some to mount the Tubus Tara on my '09 canti Sam because the mid-fork eyelets don't allow for a level mounting of the Tara. Perhaps you

I like the way it is starting to go crusty. You can't buy that kind of finish - it is special and has to be earned. In the classic car and motorbike world people seem to be over highly restored, immaculately presented examples and originality and patina (in Riv circles you might call it
