Re: [RBW] Re: Repaints

I had a long CR-ish conversation with the SSInk rep at NAHBS in Sacramento years back (2010? 2011? I can't remember). He said that consumers couldn't order decals from them directly; the order had to come through a retailer, a frame builder or a painter. This was intended to prevent scammers

One too many bikes here, and I think I want to throw money at my next BMC build. pics here I'd like to sell locally so UPS/Fedex don't crush another nice bike by stacking it sideways under a refrigerator.

Up for sale is a used Sugino XD2 triple crankset with 172.5mm arms. I bought this who knows how many years back from Rivendell. I've become a devoted low-Q zealot, and these cranks are not low-Q (~165mm). If you want the arms only, $70 shipped. If you want me to make a crankset for you,

[RBW] Re: Clem's mount for rear wheel lock.

I shall dissent from the others who like these things. I had the one Riv used to sell mounted on a Clem and it was really stinking heavy. At the time I lived in an upstairs apartment and the extra weight when lifting the bike up those steps was quite noticeable and I took it off. Joe Bernard

Re: [RBW] Re: Clem's mount for rear wheel lock.

I agree that frame-mount locks are very convenient, but probably best for bikes too heavy for a casual thief to lift and walk away with. Almost every Indian-made DL-1 copy had one when I was a wee lad, all stamped from sheet metal, and all with, probably, the same stamped-steel key. I last used

Re: [RBW] Re: Clem's mount for rear wheel lock.

I have an Abus wheel lock on the front wheel of my e-bike. I use it all the time for quick trips into a store. Anything over a couple minutes and I’ll break out the other locks and lock the bike up properly. I’d never used a wheel lock before but do find them very useful.

Re: [RBW] Re: Spiky platform pedal plus SPD? MAP bar surgery and reasons therefore.

Thanks, Mike. Agree that $115 is rather dear for this bike, and Shimano's EH 500 is only $80 or so. Pat, the ISSI Flip 3 also looks viable -- RBR gave it a good review -- but again, $100. But for the moment, I am retrogressing back to the "SPD versus clips and straps" conundrum. Clips and straps

Re: [RBW] Re: Introduction and Tire Question

This to clarify my opinion on tubes versus no tubes, from someone who is, oh so very aware of the limitations of tubes (again, pre-sealant, and refusing to use heavy tires, used up the greater part of 2 X 100-boxes of Remas each year). FWIW, I used (125 gram) tubes in the EL Naches Pass 559 X

[RBW] Re: Clem's mount for rear wheel lock.

I considered one, but then decided that: A. For the cost, a smaller U lock would work just as well, and be more versatile; and B. Frame locks would seem to be most useful for heavy bikes (like many Dutch-style bikes) that can’t be easily picked up and walked off with. While I like the idea of

[RBW] Re: Clem's mount for rear wheel lock.

I had a Clem-like Dutch bike for many years with a frame lock. I used it all of the time to lock up in front of a store for a few minutes. It's also extra security for longer-term lock-ups because it protects your rear wheel from theft. I had a cable lock that plugged in as well. I still

Re: [RBW] Re: Spiky platform pedal plus SPD? MAP bar surgery and reasons therefore.

ISSI Flip3 is another option. The cheaper Flip1 and 2 don't have the spokes though. On Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 9:38:10 AM UTC-4 Mike K. wrote: > My favorite dual-sided pedals were the Funn Mamba pedals I got on eBay for > a song. Unfortunately, trying to find others for my other bikes

Re: [RBW] Re: Spiky platform pedal plus SPD? MAP bar surgery and reasons therefore.

My favorite dual-sided pedals were the Funn Mamba pedals I got on eBay for a song. Unfortunately, trying to find others for my other bikes hasn't happened yet. They're pricey brand new ($115), but I love the one set I have. Big platform with lots of room, thin profile, good attachment with the

[RBW] Re: Clem's mount for rear wheel lock.

I have an AXA lock with plug in chain on my 52 cm Clementine. It easily clears 650B x 50 tires on Alex DM-24 rims. I used it for trips to the grocery store. The chain was more expensive and harder to find than the lock itself. Laing Delray Beach FL On Wednesday, April 14, 2021 at 2:15:22 PM

Good detective work Andy. Way back I recall Grant talking about decals and I’m quite sure he referred to SSI as Riv’s supplier. For all those interested I hope SSI will accommodate one off requests. Best, Rich in ATL Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 15, 2021, at 5:31 AM, ascpgh wrote: > > Make

Chrristine, I made the jump with my 650B bike, built around 42mm RH BabyShoe Pass standard casing tires on Pacenti Brevet rims. My mechanic said that this size is where the clear decision for tubeless is, based on ride quality, flatproofness and weight. She said there isn't much of a question
