Re: [RBW] Taking Risks

Once a year or so I will forget a lock or key. I typically ask to take it inside with that explanation. And then I don't forget for several months! Here in Nashville, probably like where you are, there is little bike culture and the one good thing is little bike THEFT culture. Edwin -- You

My clicks like that have all been pedal bearing related... but you want to rule out shoelaces and pannier cords first! On Monday, October 17, 2016 at 6:57:30 AM UTC-5, Eric Karnes wrote: > > I could use the collective wisdom of the group... > > I have clicking sound that is driving me to

[RBW] Re: Sam fender clearance

I had the VO 50mm snakeskins on my sidepull 60cm Sam and did not notice any problems. I ran Panaracer pasela 35s under them I think. I now have them on my Appaloosa but I am going to move up to Berthoud 60mm, which I am sure you were all dying to know. Edwin On Friday, October 7, 2016 at

[RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

I am eventually going to get around to putting bigger fenders on my Appaloosa, and was looking at VO's 700x63 and Berthoud's 700x60 from Peter White. Any experience or differences? It looks like the Berthoud's are predrilled in the same way, for the stays, so you have to add a hole for a rack

[RBW] Re: Which Bikes Should Rivendell Keep? - Survey

Scott, That is so cool! If Riv HQ asks you to take it down, they are silly. Instead, they should thank you profusely for giving them some good data from their biggest fans. I know only 30 or so have answered, but the legendary/iconic status of the Atlantis is clear in the last question.
