With straight crank arms and FD's clearances are always tight. At best you play with the FD angle and height so when fully extended it clears the arms and the big ring. It's really finding a sweet spot. Also, if the rings are not running true, in this case the outer, then you can end up with

[RBW] Re: Admissions of Things You Ought to Have Known But Did Not: A Thread

Well let's see, Leah has been riding her bike all this time just fine without intervention from any "educating" her how she "ought to" ride her bike, and that her experience "could be better" somehow "if" she'd only listen to the so-called "wisdom". Hah hah all that totally ignores the

[RBW] Re: Atlas stout enough rim for Gus/Susie?

For the 26" rim size Sun also makes the Rhyno Lite XL which is about 2mm wider than the Rhyno Lite, and it's available in anodized colors of white, blue, yellow, black and red. A good place to find these kind of rims and other cool stuff is from BMX websites, where they aren't swept up in

[RBW] Re: 32 days of bicycling: bosque ride

Yeah, every area has it's own beauty Patrick it's all to easy to see someone else photos and come down with a case of comparitis ... hah silly stuff ! I was only to ABQ for a short time in winter once, and a short time in Santa Fe once and yes the endless sky and the colors

[RBW] Re: Atlas stout enough rim for Gus/Susie?

I had hoped the Riv rim once mentioned for the Hillybikes would be available *before/with* the frames arrival. Otherwise I'll do either a Cliffhanger or the DM24, since I do use tubes. I'm not sure what tire I'll get first, but it will be at least a 2.25-2.4, it depends on the tire really. I

[RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

Leah, David is listing the Clem-H, not the -L. Yours is indeed longer . The current -L wheelbase is as long as the Susie in 59cm, 131.4cm. The 2 are in fact so close the deciding factor for me was the much higher head tube on the Susie than the -L.

[RBW] Re: Causes for bike noises

Oh boy this is very slippery slope, but it's Fun Friday so what the hey. It seems to me such noises are a form of self-play a who-dunnit, a peek-a-boo-where-are-you game. You know ... like a living *Scoobie Doo Where Are You* Play ! Where no matter what. all is forever well, the

Re: [RBW] Re: Bread (and bikes)

Oh Yes ! The frozen pound cake and frozen zucchini and pumpkin quick breads and of course even cookies. While I don't eat any of that anymore, I do freeze nice and very ripe bananas, peeled and left whole. Utter magnificence. I also refrigerate them after they get nice and ripe

[RBW] Re: Bread (and bikes)

That's just in Patrick, there is just substitute for freshly baked bread. Myself I would leave whatever portion I'd eat for a day or 2, then freeze the rest the same day as baking. Don't wait until it starts going stale to freeze it. All frozen/canned food processors do their work with

[RBW] Re: Gus Susie Questions

For those that need a 73 x 127 ST BB the Tange LN-3922(steel cups) and LN-7922(Aluminum cups) are also available. Those widths are because of the relatively straight arms of the crank. It's gotta make for some cruddy chain angles in the middle ring/large cogs though. This is where the so

Yes Patrickit's like an Emerald Forest around here most of time minus snowfalls in winter. I was walking through the forest animal trails in the rain near my home the other day...in winter after all the leaves have fallen it's pretty barren, hence easy to roam as the all the brush thins
