Yes, Keith, excellent input, and I appreciate you taking the time to share this. To your first point, one's specific address is not necessary and, I agee, should be shared cautiously. A random address in your area or even just city/town and state are enough as I have learned. Including a

This is great. Thanks for putting it together! I have couple of suggestions, more for the participant pi-droppers than for John: 1) Please be cautious and think twice about listing your actual home address. Especially if you live somewhere like Denver or Oakland, where bike theft is a

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Brake Problem

I don't follow the beef with GP, but this is the procedure to get a front Tektro 559 opened up as wide as possible without tools on a bike of that type 1. Set the brake lever adjusting barrel and lockring as far in as possible but with the cable exit slots all lined up with the exit slot in

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe V1 build revisited

I always liked those Rosco's. I remember the matte green one RBW posted on their website and then there was a darker green one that had a horizontal second top tube and was taller and shorter (55.5 ST & 600 ETT). The darker one also had canti posts. I REALLY liked that one. [image: Rosco

The tire should clear just fine without resorting to addition doohickeys or pads Michael. It's make to clear wide road tires. I happened to run across this video today, and his 559 caliper clears a 44mm Compass tires without rubbing. https://youtu.be/vGnNkQJz-Fk?t=465 Again, your mtb brake

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Brake Problem

I was going to suggest thinner brake pads also. At some point, the brake will only open so far and extra slack in the cable will not help. I run a Tektro 559 on the rear of my Betty Foy and a Dia-Compe 610 center pull on the front. I have a Dia-Compe Quick release hanger for the center pull on

1st cleaning is in mineral spirits in a glass jar set in the water. For a used chain I would usually do this twice, after letting the chain soak in the mineral spirits over night. I use Ball wide mouth canning jars. The ultrasonic cleaner came with a holder that is the perfect size for these.

Would a thinner brake pad help? Kool Stop make their excellent thin line series. On Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 10:36:19 AM UTC-6 mhec...@gmail.com wrote: > I'm familiar with the adjuster on the lever and with cable splitters, > since I have a coupled tandem (which I will be selling soon).

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Brake Problem

I have this issue with my bikes, but I just assumed that this was an inherent trade-off if I'm using any tire larger than 32 with caliper brakes. Are there caliper brakes that open wider using the QR? Greg On Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 9:36:19 AM UTC-7 mhec...@gmail.com wrote: > I'm familiar

[RBW] Re: Crust Harvey Mushman Bars?

Haven't used the mushman's, but I recently had the Nitto b802AA 720mm on my lighting bolt in the city. Similarish, but they have a 15ish degree sweep and only 2" of rise. I really like this style of swept riser bar, but switched out because I would get stuck in traffic sometimes since they

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Brake Problem

I'm familiar with the adjuster on the lever and with cable splitters, since I have a coupled tandem (which I will be selling soon). The cable splitter won't work on the front brake since the housing runs from lever to caliper. I'm not familiar with the Shimano in line QR. Looks interesting.

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe V1 build revisited

Very cool to see one of these again. I saw one at a Riv dealer in the Dallas area years ago, when I was in the area for work. I think they might have had a couple Roadinis as well. Sadly, I was not in the position to buy a bike, though I did buy some orange SKS fenders, the only set I have

All, Sorry for all of FS posts, but here are some clothing items I have that one of y'all may want. Preference goes to known quantities--lurkers need not apply, and I'm not responsible for you botching your payment. That's my rant. Too much grief on the list recently. Images:

[RBW] Re: Crust Harvey Mushman Bars?

I did that exact thing on my Xtracycle Stoker. I went with the 24 degree bars and trimmed maybe 2-3cm(?) from either end. I don't remember how long the stem is but its more than 5cm. Maybe 8-10cm. I love 'em. I think you will too. I also have another pair I plan on using for a future MTB

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Brake Problem

Tire deflation to simply remove the tire is not normal or even acceptable by any means. Everyone knows this, lest there would be no cursing in even contemplating it you know ? With calipers and mtb levers, use both to loosen the cable tension since they both have the ability to. The levers
