Re: [RBW] Re: Fendering My Atlantis

I just finished the install this evening. I needed to slightly squish the rear fender at the chain stay mount and do the same for the front fender with the fork. Clearance wasn’t compromised however it added a certain level of difficulty to the front fender install. I still need to finish

I am right here Jake. Come on in and join the Selle Anatomica H1 saddle Club. Kick to the side your Brooks saddle along with mine. We are done ! Very nice coincidence that the big "H" that is stamped on the saddle matches with Hillborne! Wonderful feature ! Nice build on your Silver Streak

There are LOTS of bike stores in Philly, but these two — Keystone Bikes and Via bicycles—are my favorites. You might also want to check out Firth and Wilson Transport Cycles, even though I haven’t been there myself I’ve spoken with Simon and visit their booth at the Philly bike expo.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fendering My Atlantis

No problem. Looks like you’re right, they are listed as 63mm. I don’t think that number has changed, I just remembered it wrong. So that means my 55mm wide tires fit 63mm fenders. And for reference, I have Velocity Cliffhanger 700c rims. Brian On Jan 20, 2023, at 2:21 PM, DavidP wrote:Thanks for

That's interesting. I wonder what they think of the Selle Anatomica carbon rails being used with an S83? I have that set up on my Crust Lightning Bold/canti for well over a year and seems to be fine to me. Then again the S83 has two bolts to clamp the rails, maybe that's the difference. JohnS

Re: [RBW] Paul Touring vs. Neo-retro question

I use the touring brake up front when I run them for mountain mountain bikes and loaded tourers due to higher mechanical advantage, as already mentioned. I will often run the Neo-Retro up front with a Touring in the rear for Rando, light touring and city bikes where that is less important to

Re: [RBW] Paul Touring vs. Neo-retro question

Scott, I’ve used both, and as hard as I’ve tried to discern a functional difference, I honestly just couldn’t. They felt the same to me. Both felt great and had plenty of stopping force. I don’t know if this is because of they way each was set up and dialed in. But neither lacked anything. I

Re: [RBW] Paul Touring vs. Neo-retro question

I’ve used both, prefer the Tourings due to higher mechanical advantage. Now I run Motolites which are even better. Maybe I’m just bad at setting up cantis but switching to linear pull brakes was a big upgrade for me. Jay LonnerBellingham, WASent from my Atari 400On Jan 20, 2023, at 3:12 PM,

If you had to choose between the Paul Touring Canti or the Neo-Retro for a front brake, which would you pick and why? Curious about how much functional difference exists between the 2 models. Thanks, Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Build - Wish Me Luck!

Very nice. I’m not familiar with that model rear derailleur. It may have a different pull ratio than the 9 speed road shifters. Assuming that your limit screws are set up properly it may just be an issue with cable tension. It’s probably not a b screw issue if you can shift it smoothly with

Huh! That's almost certainly the Platypus frame listed on Facebook group Rivendell Bicycles buy/sell/trade for $2000 + shipping because "this is the amount i spent to get it in my hands". So you'd be paying full retail price plus shipping the frame twice. Maybe he'll have luck after Riv sells
