[RBW] WTB musa wool striped longsleeve shirt

Rivendell used to make a blue and grey wool striped long sleeve shirt. I used to have one but it disappeared about a year and half ago. It was my favorite shirt, if anyone wants to get rid of one please let me know! Mine was size large. Jamin Nashville, TN -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Fancy grip-making (starring my bike!)

I used the Dutch Grips for bit. Comfy but short even for my itty bitty hands. They probably work better on the flat bars they're designed for. I don't like cork, either. My favorite are the paddle Ergons also mentioned in the article. I'm only replacing them on my Chev because I wanted some

These woolies looks like some comfy, beefy grips!! Nice! As for the others briefly mentioned: I don't think I would use the plasticy/rubber Dutchy grips though. I remember as a kid getting blisters from my rubbery/plasticy grips. I would not use solid cork grips either - no cush. Rock hard, at

[RBW] Re: Which tire was ridden on your first excursion into 650b?

I remember in 2012 when I first started 650b riding there weren't that many choices I could find. Can;t imagine back in 2006!!! I think it was mostly Fattys, Soma New-something, Schwalbe green guards, Swiftys. Hard to find tubes back then too for me. All I could find were Conti Tours. At least

Headset for a Rivendell. Years ago I had one break. Shimano 600). Now the ring on my IRD RollerDrive headset also broke. I guess every time you take out the stem the wedge can snag and break the plastic ring. Bummer. See this thread to see what I am talking about:

I know the silver lever part has some lateral play. They can wiggle by hand a little side to side. Since they are mounted sideways on your bike, I wonder if the rattling is from the levers being jounced. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Rattly levers on moustache bars. I haven’t noticed that with my couple different sets of non-aero levers. I’d probably try an Ultegra lever, assuming tighter tolerances. I might also disassemble the rattling lever and see if a couple layers of Tyvek (fed ex envelope) as bushings/shims might

Ah, the brakes in the uprights of the new Moustache bars. Gotcha. I want to the brakes in the curves. Apart from fast stopping in traffic, the only time I need my front brake is steep, often jouncy technical descents, and grip of the bars is far better in the curves than the upright/back
