Re: [RBW] Doldrums

When I get a case of cycling burnout, I tend to find and read a book about touring. “Signs of Life” by Stephen Fabes is a decent one, if you’re looking for a recommendation. Pretty soon I’m itching to ride a tour again. Or I check the internet for a new bicycle wrenching “skill” that I could

Re: [RBW] (*)osco bar hand positions

I agree with Joe I find that area to have too much of a slant to grip. The photo above is gripping the top part of the bend and I DO find that area useable and go there often. Loscos have less rise but they don't angle out the same way so it's not a great grip spot on them either. On Tuesday,

[RBW] Wheels by Hunt (Boulder, CO)

I know in this group there is praise, admiration for wheels built by Rich L., and I’ve had a couple such sets and they are great. But in the non-RBW (and non-silver) category, has anyone here had experience with wheels from Hunt (out of Boulder, CO — and the UK, too, I guess)? Looking at a

Re: [RBW] (*)osco bar hand positions

Kevin I have two bikes with 58 Boscos. Gripping the bar in your circled area is uncomfortable because my bell and shifter interfere with my right forearm. For me the only place to grip is the flat area near the stem. And I never grip that area .I have long stems and Its too much of a stretch for

[RBW] Re: (*)osco bar hand positions

For clarity, are you grabbing at the top of the downward curve, or wrapping your hand around the downhill section below it? I believe the OP is asking about the latter. On Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at 11:13:12 AM UTC-7 lkbr...@gmail.com wrote: > I have been using Tosco bars for a couple

[RBW] Re: (*)osco bar hand positions

I have been using Tosco bars for a couple months, and I find the circled area to be useful for climbing, shifting, and feeling speedy. I do use a treadless stem adapter with a medium long stem, so the bars are fairly low and close, which might alter the accessibility of the circled area

[RBW] Doldrums

Over the years my cycling has increasingly tended toward commuting/utility. Bike-centered vacations/tours remain on the menu, and are still very enjoyable to me, but the day-in, day-out feels like a chore. Part of this is seasonal — I have an easier time dealing with cool, wet conditions than

[RBW] Re: (*)osco bar hand positions

I have a Tosco and only the outer straights are usable, and it's not very much room at that. I much prefer the steel Albatross with bar end brake levers so it's entirely unfettered all the way up to and around the top curve. RBW showing the Bosco with tape over the entire bar, hah hah .

[RBW] Re: (*)osco bar hand positions

I've owned all three versions of *osco and didn't find a way to grip that steep downhill part. I suppose it's feasible on the shallower Losco if they're mounted really low and you're reaching down to the bar but I doubt any of us here run our bars that way. The useable positions I found: 1.

[RBW] Re: (*)osco bar hand positions

Can't speak to a Tosco or Losco, but regarding a Bosco, the upper bend in the rise area is my go-to for climbing, I don't find much use for the rest of the rise, for me, the angle is a bit stressful on the wrist joint. Aside from hand positions, I'll say that If you prefer less stem sticking up
