[RBW] WTT: XL summer gloves for XXXL summer gloves

Recently picked up a pair of summer gloves from Riv but the XLs I picked up are too small for me. If someone made a mistake and got some XXLs that were too big, let's trade! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

Re: [RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

Wow, thanks for the considerable insight, everyone! I really appreciate the assessments, personal histories, preferences and the rest. I'm currently running Albatross bars but find I most often ride in the forward position of the bars, in front of the brake levers. It's nice to take the full

Re: [RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

I have a Crust Towel Rack bar on a cyclocross bike. I like it, but I have gradually moved my bars on most of my bikes over to Albatross bars or Bullmoose bars because I prefer mtb brake levers. The wide drop bar really is comfortable and allows a lot of control of the bike in grass, mud, and

Re: [RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

The difference between ultra-wide drops and wide MTB bars is that wide MTB bars have been mainstream for a while now. Pretty much every MTB I see these days has very wide bars. Shops sell them and are able to help with setup. Other riders can also advise. Here in the EU at least, ultra wide drops

[RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

Short and sweet, I love wide drops! Hated them growing up. After riding Albatross and Bull Moose bars on my Rivs for years something changed. I got in on an early release of the widest Crust Towel racks and have been converted. They have solved the wrist and lower back discomfort I was having

[RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

I like Collins point with one correction: "The main point I think is that *handlebars* are kinda like saddles." As a person who loves drop bars but has always hated how narrow they are, I love the recent developments. I own the Crust Towelrack (v2 - Full size at 670 mm) and the Crust x Nitto

Re: [RBW] Re: Good pedals for both SPD clip-in and street shoe riding?

Maybe look at some of the downhill pedals? I did some image searching, the raised portion of the spd pedal might still be too high for wearing flat shoes, but they are designed to have grip even not clipped in. They have spikes that could be extended to provide better unclipped traction.

Re: [RBW] Anyone in Boise,ID that can help facilitate a purchase?

Philip: Have you considered using a service like Taskrabbit? I looked into that once when I was shipping a bike and needed someone to get the box over the “last mile” to the buyer. You could probably have someone pick up the bike and take it to a local bike shop for packing and shipping.

[RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

I'll add my little tidbit after trying 2 different wide (560 at the drops, 48 to 50 at the hoods) not Super-Wide drop bars. The main point I think is that the wide drops are kinda like saddles - find one with a shape that you like because everyone will tell you something different. I also don't

Re: [RBW] Tell me about your super-wide drops

A contrarian but sincere point of view: I tried a number of wide drop bars, from 46 cm Noodles to 56 or 58 Midges (it has been a long time, but I recall 56 or 58 mm wideth), not to mention half a dozen different wide, flared off road drop bars. I heartily disliked them, and went back to 42s for

[RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

I just bought 660 Crust Towel Racks for my Bombadil and am setting them up with TRP drilled brake levers at the drops and Tektro interrupters near the center. I also am using Shimano 8 speed indexing shifters (shifting 7 speed *freewheel* with Altus derailleur) on 26mm Paul Thumbie mounts

[RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

Good question :-) I went pretty mental for wide drops over the last couple of years. My habit started with a set of Funn G-Wides a couple of years ago. 500mm wide, 620mm at the drops. That's as wide as the bars on some of my older mtbs. I have them on an old 26er MTB. Based on those, I also

[RBW] Tell me about your super-wide drops

Big, wide drops seem to be everywhere these days, even here in the group! I've noticed some for sale and others used in builds. Rather than read through another dull review in some unfamiliar corner of the internet I wanted to see if anyone in the group could share some firsthand experience.
