Re: [RBW] This wheelset whadayathink? Y/N?

Dyads with XT hubs is exactly what Rich recommended and built for me. I'm running them on the Atlantis with no issues and ran a similar wheel set, with different rims on the Hunqapillar. Those XT hubs are excellent, simple to service and good on your wallet! René On Thu, Nov 12, 2015 at 2:13 PM,

[RBW] Making the Betty Foy bettier!!!

As I wait for the right new owner of my Hunqapillar, and thanks to having already lost 40+ pounds thanks to EBDJ, I've picked up my riding again and this past weekend did some upgrades on my Betty Foy, which is probably the Rivendell I have the most fun riding, although if pressed hard I'm going to

I'm back home for a couple of weeks before traveling again. Reposting this message to see if anyone is interested in the frame, and other parts. Feel free to send me an offer if you are interested. Will start disassembly of the bike this weekend, most likely. René On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 9:49 AM,

Re: [RBW] Help with a tubeless conversion

I address the lack of compressor using the larger CO2 cartridges. Perhaps not too eco friendly, but works on the road as well. My tubeless tires usually stay on the rim after the first set up. I assume you set them up with soapy water and Stans, correct? The soapy water helps them stick to the rim

[RBW] FS: Hunqapillar frame + forks (low trail + original) & parts

Hi all, Since it's pretty clear that there is interest in the separate items but not the complete bike, I'm listing everything separately. I'm traveling next week, but will be back next Saturday, so shipping can be done on the week of November 9 for any parts that sell before that date. - Pewter

Re: [RBW] Keven

For me, Keven is RBW. While there are many other helpful and nice people at RBW, Keven defined my experience there. Always helpful, always answering my questions with a smile, always providing that extra touch to make my experience there worth the 45 minute drive. No question was ever boring, dumb

[RBW] Re: FS: Low Trail customized Hunqapillar size 58

Yeah. It seems I'll have to disassemble it and post the frame and parts for sale separately. There was some interest in the past for the frame alone, so perhaps that is the best route. René On Sunday, October 18, 2015, BenG wrote: > I would LOVE your pewter Hunqapillar, but I could only trade f

Yes it is. It fits perfectly since the bosses are higher on the seat stays. On Saturday, October 17, 2015, Daniel Jackson wrote: > Hey Rene, is that the Nitto Medium Big Back Rack (32R) you have on this > bike? Sure looks like it, but I didn't know it fit so well on a 58 Hunq. > > Thanks, > D. >

Hi all, It's been a very hectic summer at work with business travel and other things, so I wasn't able to follow up on my quest to downsize my quiver of bikes and push forward with my life simplification goals. Things are still hectic, but a bit less so now, so I'm moving forward with my plans aga

Great story and congratulations for leading by example and being an agent of change. Just inspiring a few people to see the world differently, even if you don't know about it, is great! René On Wednesday, September 9, 2015, 'hangtownmatt' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com>
