Re: [RBW] Cork grips shellac - clear vs. amber

Just another data point. I have several sets of those grips. Two sets were done with amber and one with clear. I can't see a bit of difference between them. Ray Vallejo CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] Re: Do I need tire fatter than 650B x 42?

I use SKS 26" 60mm fenders over Compass Switchback Hill 650bx48. That was the widest size that would fit between the seatstays and fork blades (the actual measured width is 60.5mm):

Andrew, If you can I'd advise you hang on to it. As pondero points out these are unique bikes with fine characteristics. Though they aren't always immediately snapped up when they become available, they usually aren't available. If you let yours go cheep and later find you want one, your

I like the way POCs fit my wide head. Good ventilation. Pretty light. Fairly costly. Team Cannondale is riding them on the Pro Tour this year. Cheers, Bill in Roswell, GA On Monday, May 8, 2017 at 11:32:03 AM UTC-4, Eric Norris wrote: > > I recently purchased a POC helmet, in part because it

Andrew, I can't figure out why this hasn't sold yet. Quickbeams are magic. They glide. And this one is in such fine condition. Wow. I've got my 56 QB, and don't want to let it go. Surely, someone will see the value here and snatch it up...and they'll enjoy it. Chris Johnson Sanger, Texas

Many thanks for the quick replies! I think I'll go with amber, as Philip's photo shows. I agree that the Selects will darken fairly quickly, and will follow the (unknown to me) advice of the steel wool between coats. René On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 5:59 PM drew wrote: > I
