[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for thumb shifters?

Agreed. I have two sets of the Deore DX MT60 version, and they are so great. Nice crisp, soft click indexing action. I also wish that Microshift had modelled their thumb shifters on these rather than the kludge of Shimano BE shifters mounted on the Paul units. The ergonomics of this design is

[RBW] Re: Anyone have a sub-25lb. complete Rivendell?

My 68cm Ram is 25lb right on the dot! Shimergo drivetrain, Compass tires, Titanico boat-anchor saddle and Nitto stuff. That also includes two small canvas bags. Not bad for such a lanky beast. KJ On Friday, August 18, 2017 at 6:45:49 PM UTC-4, lum gim fong wrote: > > With 10+ gears, that

I've reverted back to a basket. See pics for spacer idea for top o' fork strut mounting. Makes it nice and flush. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwHqG1q8uHdcNzFMcEFlQmR2UG8/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwHqG1q8uHdcNzFMcEFlQmR2UG8/view?usp=drivesdk -- You received

Re: [Ext] [RBW] Re: Atlantis Fender recommendations

I have Berthoud 60mm stainless steel fenders over 50mm Marathon sUpremes on my Atlantis.I'm comfortable with the clearance, though others whose judgment I respect on this list think it's a little skinny. But over 42mm tires they'd be perfect. They are available from Peter White Cycles.

Use a small steel bbq grill grate for a nice platform. Doubles for bbq grill once at the bike camp. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwHqG1q8uHdcSzRRMW41U1hpUG8 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

Re: [RBW] Re: Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

Jagwire Pro is the housing, the Park Tool CN-10 is the cutter. After using compressionless brake housing, I will never go back to the traditional spiral stuff. KJ On Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 12:30:36 PM UTC-4, Clayton wrote: > > I am unfamiliar with the Jagwire pro housing cutter. It

[RBW] Re: Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

That's what I was going to say. The Jagwire Pro housing for both brake and shift cuts cleanly and squarely without all this side business. I use the Park tool and one cut, put on the ferrule and that's it. KJ On Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 10:19:29 AM UTC-4, Justin, Oakland wrote: > > I've

[RBW] Re: Dyno hub wiring

Shoe Gooers: Any thoughts on using the Goo to hold heavier wires, like the Schmidt Coax type one? I've been using aluminum HVAC tape lately for the run of wire under the rear fender on my own bike with no issues, but I'm getting ready to attach a full run of (external) wiring to my wife's
