[RBW] Re: Pamela Murray: Bike Hero

I've watched the video twice and will probably watch it a third time at some point. Even though I ride almost everyday as well, I always learn something or at least gain fresh perspective from someone else who does as well - and Pam's insights run especially deep as someone who's put

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike rack suggestions

Read the 1UP descriptions very carefully. I'm pretty sure when I bought mine, they sold a 1.25" hitch version but I think it didn't have the ability to be locked to the hitch, which was a must-have for me. Heck, mine might be a 1.25" with a spacer to make it 2". On Thursday, April 6, 2023

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike rack suggestions

Furthermore, I'm interested in hearing from those who use a 1.25" hitch rather than the 2" hitch. I believe my Toyota Matrix can only accomodate a 1.25" hitch (yet to install one). Is the 1.25 inch hitch suitable for a heavy rack such as the 1UP, or other heavy beast? On Thursday, April 6,

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike rack suggestions

in Jacob's excellent picture, it looks like the front wheel is held down at just about the area my Tubus Tara front rack's hoop is located. I'm wondering if I were to adjust the holder further in front of the wheel: Would this compromise security? Otherwise, I might be able to place the

Hi Mike, Thanks for the input. Maybe my Riv garage sale skewer is indeed Ultegra. It looks a lot like this skewer

Re: [RBW] Riv Garage Sale hauls

Hi Evan I scrounge that model at the bike co-op to find matching ones. I think it is 62xx series Ultegra. Mike SLO CA On Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 10:46:12 AM UTC-7 Evan E. wrote: > Thanks, Eric! The lever says "Open" on the other side. Does that help with > identification? > > -- You

Thanks, Eric! The lever says "Open" on the other side. Does that help with identification? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

I’m not an expert on Shimano, but this is clearly from their “Close” line of components. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy > On Apr 6, 2023, at 10:02 AM, Evan E. wrote: > > I found, among other items, this Shimano skewer. Love the satin

[RBW] Re: Riv Ride in Asheville NC?

Thanks for the clarification, Gary! Those potential dates work better for me, personally. I have no plans for the month of July, and I am freed up after Sept. 10th for some bike fun. Hoping something can materialize for these new dates! -Brian On Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 11:41:18 AM UTC-4

[RBW] Re: Riv Ride in Asheville NC?

That's correct - the May 12-14 date didn't work out so the July/Sept dates were thrown out to see if more folks would be able to join. On Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 10:41:19 AM UTC-4 brok...@gmail.com wrote: > So, just to get this straight... did the previously proposed weekend of > May

[RBW] Re: Riv Ride in Asheville NC?

So, just to get this straight... did the previously proposed weekend of May 12-14th not work well enough for everyone? I was not going to be free that weekend, but if it's looking like a July date might be better for more people, then I may just be able to make that happen. On Wednesday, April

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 64cm Clem Smith Jr. L frameset

Not big on the "look ma, no hands!" thing in general, but it's completely doable, if a little wobbly, with a load. Mine is a 2021 (prob obvious from the color). I ride mostly on urban streets but get it on gravel, dirt, and chunky cobbles somewhat routinely and even some single track every once
