Those Ortliebs would be even more spectacular on an orange Appaloosa or Susie/Wolbis! Is that a Bartender Plus bag from Rivelo? David Lipsky On Friday, February 21, 2020 at 4:09:13 PM UTC-8, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Hey, let's see new pics of my massively enbrightened Clem, shall we? > > --

Interesting, they're not supposed to work with those mounts without the Paul adapter thingy they don't make anymore. Sometimes it's good to not know you can't do it!  -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

[RBW] Re: eClem again

I thought my mid-drive Clem L 52cm was a smidge flexier, but that could be down to it being a longer frame. We can take into account me being more used to it now, too: on today's ride with the bags loaded up with groceries it flexed a bit and didn't bother me a bit. -- You received this

Looks good. Joe, do you think a mid-drive kit would reduce or increase Clem L flex? -- 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] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

Hike barefoot for a month. Then you'll know if: - you need ankle support - you need beefy souls - you need shoes at all I prefer barefoot, but given the sharp (pun intended) increase in drug paraphanilia since legalized marijuana in these parts, I also like to have extra protection.

[RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

More suggestions! Thank you. My use will be quite light; no long-distance walking on very rough terrain with heavy backpack; just =/< 5 mile hikes unencumbered on groomed trails, though perhaps sandy. I gather that some of these will be overkill, and that I ought to limit myself to the "light"

[RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

Personally I like Redbacks over either rossi or blunnies (had them all). I got 10 years of use out of a slip on redback boot. Would have lasted longer if it wasn't for a salt water bath. They also make lace up versions. Fantastic boots, but very different from the original requirements of the

I’ve also heard good things about the similar Rossi brand, which is made in Australia and assumably of better quality than Blundstones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

[RBW] Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

I really like my Blundstones for riding. They’re the basic 500 model. They’re lightweight and comfortable, though they can’t be resoled and the leather gets beat up and they don’t take a shine well. They’re also weather resistant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Thanks; the suggestions are certainly worth investigating; I do like what I see about the Danner Light. I'd be grateful for others' recommendations based on their use and personal satisfaction. On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 3:37 PM Patrick Moore wrote: > I am thinking of replacing my walking

I have to say, I love this bike. I had a Univega touring bike in the same color, circa 1982(?) It was my first brand new road bike. I remember poring over the Univega catalog and really wanting one of those top of the line racy road models. I keep an eye out for them on Craigslist, but don't know

[RBW] Re: new wooly sweater large

They were, for the most part, "pre-sold out" from what I understand. It took a minimum order of 250 units to have these made, and Riv couldn't go out on a limb like that. Apparently they ordered some extra to have on the website, but probably not a whole lot. I ordered one, love it. Full review
