Re: [RBW] moisture in dynamo light - am i screwed?

Justin: Your light is mounted upside down, which may be causing the moisture problem. The two LEDs go at the top. Loosen the bolt holding the light on and rotate it 180 degrees. That might help get the moisture out, if the light body is designed to drain from the bottom. You should see much

Re: [RBW] Heat in the Bay

According to local news, temps have been about 15 degrees higher than normal this week in the Sacramento area. Bay Area has been hot too, but usually about 30 degrees cooler than Sacto. That’s why I headed in that direction today to ride—just too hot locally (combined with bad air quality due

Re: [RBW] Do you Rapid Rise? (Share pics and thoughts)

Path Less Pedaled just did an entire video episode on Rapid Rise/Low Normal derailleurs that’s definitely worth watching. One point that came up in the comments from viewers is that shifting to lower gears is done entirely through the strength of the spring in the derailleur. Move the shifter

Agree 100%. If you can’t sit in the saddle all day long, you won’t be successful. Comfort trumps pretty much everything else. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy > On Aug 18, 2022, at 4:02 PM, Wesley wrote: > > Hi Dick, > I've ben thinking

Re: [RBW] Re: Best dynamo headlight for road riding

Patrick: I like the IQ X. It’s everything you say, and of course half the price of the Edelux. The trade-off is build quality. The Edelux’s front “lens,” for instance, is glass; the IQ X’s is plastic. I’ve never had a problem with my IQ X, but if you’re looking for the very best, most robust

Jason: You’ll hear many opinions—good luck sifting through the advice you will get! I have both SON and Shutter Precision hubs and have not had any issues with either. My SONs have ranged from the old-style type with flanges pressed onto a center piece to the modern (and very pretty) type. I

Re: [RBW] Susie's Limits

I find the weight limits very interesting. Rivendell has always marketed their bikes as the “anti-racer” or “not light” alternative to wispy aluminum and carbon bikes. Selling a bike with a weight limit most of us would exceed seems strange. A max of 160 pounds implies to me a bike unlike what
