[RBW] Re: Favorite All-around Drive train?

Apparently, for really low gear triple cranks work just peachy, right now the Bomba has 24/36/44 and a 9sp 12-36 cassette with only the 14-32 portion of it is used. An 8 speed 11-34 and using the 13-34 part would also work great. Coasting at high-er speed and enjoying the view..wee ind

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite All-around Drive train?

In that case a Sugino 601D complact plus crankset would also work. It's a 2 ring super compact road crank designed with a 74 and 110 mid/big ring, it has no provision for an outer ring. It doesn't use a square taper BB though, but it is included. https://www.bikemania.biz/build-your-own-s

What you're looking for then would be a wide compact double which are designed for road bikes with their straight-er arms mid 140's q., One with a 94 bcd like the IRD wide compact crank would suit you. It comes with rings however, so you'll have to get another large ring. A 110 road double als

[RBW] Re: Cycling pants

Well thank goodness for tailors and good ol' clothing designs that actually ave both style and function. I still have some elastic waist and ankles cotton "beach" pants I bought from the Big and Tall store years ago. They're no good for riding but grand for anything else. There used to be som

Well gee Leah, I have the P50 fenders on my Bombadil, they've been on there since I bought it. This year I got some 700x50mm Big Bens.The actual fender width is a little more than 50mm , and the tire a little less, *and there is more than enough vertical clearance*... as in however much I wa

Re: [RBW] Re: There’s a new man in my life, and his name is Clem

Leah, on your Betty, the one that fits you best, measure the distance with a tape measure(metric preferred but regular will do) in between the saddle tip and either side of the bars right next to where the stem is. I really mean "in between" , as in place the tape measure's body right up a

[RBW] Re: Choco vs choco-moose

A bullmoose is great if it's the set angle downward that you prefer, if not, not so much. Stiffness isn't everything, it depends on the rider preference. It's never as if bars bend and flex in hands like wet noodles, though some act like it does ! On Monday, November 18, 2019 at 1:43:02

Re: [RBW] Gus or Susie?/Threadless Weight vs Quill Weight?

FWIW, The original orange Clementine is PERFECT , just utterly the perfect name and color to go with it. It is womans name, a fruit ? Either/or, it doesn't matter to me. Calling it a Clem-L(in this case it stands for LESS the Whole name !) seems like it was edited to suit some agenda ove
