Re: [RBW] Film cameras on bike rides?

Back in my film days, the 35S was my favorite cycling, hiking and XC skiing camera. The lens is fantastic. But you do need to be very careful with it. The body dents easily. Mine is fine, but when you do see them for sale, they usually have little dents at the corners. On Sun, Jun 30, 2019 at 4:31

[RBW] Film cameras on bike rides?

Dear Phillip, The iiic/iiif are pretty sturdy, and my iiif with a collapsable Elmar has turned out to be a stickier camera than my Ms, thich come and go. I put mine in an old lens bag and toss it into my handlebar bag on top of my rain jacket. If I am riding with a jersey, it goes in one of the

[RBW] Converting a triple to a low/low

Johnny, I recently did this. I had a 170 double with chain guard. I bought a 165 triple, and I just swapped the cranks between them. Works great! I think you could just take the big ring off, like some here are saying. I have it if you’re still looking for one. It’s disassembled. Rings are new,

[RBW] Re: rebuilding the SimpleOne

Looks great! I'll echo Patrick on tire size. On my Quickbeam, a 40 tire would really limit my ability to use the full extent of the rear fork ends. I used a 40/32 up front, with a flip flop 16 and 22. That resulted in only needing 2-tooth adjustability, and gave me reasonable dirt and road gea

This Sam has been on Craigslist a couple times now with a good price, I'd take it but its WAY to tall for me. Just thought I'd share! https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/d/seattle-rivendell-sam-hillborne-62-cm/6913850126.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Go

[RBW] WTB/ISO 64 Clem L, Rosco MTBubbe, other mega mixtes

Hi folks, I know the Gus/Susie are coming, and that there may be a Clem or two left this August, but I just wanted to see if any early adopters out there are looking to sell a used frameset in anticipation of these releases? I'd need a big 'un, and the new frames are out of my budget at the mo

I've used a Silver guard on a Sugino with a 36t ring. Works great, looks great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...

[RBW] WTB: UN72 68x127 bottom bracket

Or something similar quality for use with a Sugino AT triple on an Appaloosa. Assuming I’ll find a cartridge set, but I’m open to cup/cone as well. Wishing those new IRD/Riv BB’s came in a spindle that long. Anyone have anything sitting around? Thank you -- You received this message because you

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

I've removed teeth from a chainring without power tools. I clamped it in a vice and used a pair of channel lock pliers to bend each tooth until it snapped off. It was easier than I thought it would be (with an aluminum chainring, I doubt it would work for steel). After removing the teeth I used

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

Liz asked about how to go about removing teeth. I would say that is a topic for another thread. I use a bandsaw with a metal blade and clean up with a belt sander. With power tools it's easy, but without I would recommend buying one from Riv, BBG bashguard, Salsa or one of the euro dealers. -Da

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

Yeah it will be a standard 9 spread in the back. I have an Atlus rear I was planning on using. I have used a Wide/Low on a Sam Hillborne for awhile and it covered everything and that was a 40 largest. My plan for this was largely easy trail usage. Some pavement for errands and such. There are

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

Johnny, What else are you going to do to the drivetrain? What rear cluster are you planning on using, 9 speed and 11-28? Is this a utility bike where you will just coast downhills, and will it see mostly paved use? I have found 36-11 to be a bit limiting on the pavement and I am not a strong
