[RBW] Rear derailler hanger threading issues

If it's in there tight and straight I think you're ok. I've owned/fiddled with a few of these frames and always find that hanger to be a bugger. I think the paint is thick in there and you sure feel it screwing the derailer in, I've scared myself a few times thinking I've done something wrong.

[RBW] Rear derailler hanger threading issues

Wheels Manufacturing makes an insert for replacing stripped derailleur hanger threads. Called a “Dropout Saver” or “Derailleur Hanger Saver”, it is widely available, at about $22 for a pair. You drill out the damaged thread with a 15/32” bit, slip the flanged and threaded insert into the hole

Is it cross threaded? Did the derailer seat nice and square to the dropout. Ray -- 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] Rear derailler hanger threading issues

I have a first gen Clem, bought as frame and built up in 2015. I don't remember if I had issues installing the derailler at that time, and I haven't removed it since. HOWEVER, tonight I had a bear of a time getting the derailler back on and am worried I completely chewed up the threading. It

Yes. Keep everything the same and make it a production bike. On Wednesday, March 11, 2020 at 5:08:20 PM UTC-7, Ray Varella wrote: > > Judging from the reactions to this bike, Rivendell could likely sell a > bunch of them. > > Ray > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

I've always admired good, strong graphics on bikes. Not 1980's neon-like graphics, but strong tasteful graphics like those on Rivendells. A couple of years ago I bought a used Quickbeam that had been stripped of its decals but kept the head badge, and a little after that bought a used Box Dog

I used Champion powder coating which is in the Bayview neighborhood. It only cost 200$. I would recommend them based on my experience. I’ve heard that West Coast powder coating in south city also does a good job. They did all the frames for the now defunct Mission Bicycles, fro what I

J, your Sam likes quite nice as well. I dig the black with black accents. True to your surname. Jason, I think it’s unlikely that I’ll regret it, but I appreciate the concern. I only need one bike and this one feels more like my own since I built it myself. You want the Sam?? Joe, I agree

I can't say 100% since I haven't personally tested. I truly don't see why they wouldn't since they work with DT shifters, theirs included which are basically the same as silver power ratchets. The shifter's due to arrive either this weekend or Monday so I'll keep you posted. On Wednesday,

[RBW] Re: Drop bar on MIT Atlantis?

FWIW, stems are only a part of steering and handling. Bar shape and sweep have as much if not more to do with handling, as well as trail, fork offset, hta, tires, tire pressure and stiffness. Any change on a bike will require getting used to the change. As a long time fitter, I have found
