[RBW] Re: Anyone swap between bars regularly on the same bike?

I have pondered this at length and I don't think it would be too bad if you twist welded your cables as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUQQ9aggStw to make re threading them possible and installed some inline barrel adjusters to rapidly fine tune the shifting/brakes. As painless as I

I begin to say be careful of this rabbit hole then remember I am on the RWB board... Some days I totally agree with Reed and use a Kleen Kanteen 20oz wide w/ the cafe lid. It fits in an iris cage and the lid comes apart to clean. Then I also have make coffee kit. That started with and

[RBW] Re: Cheviot fat tires

Yeah I got it used and they were on there. the front brake pads are dead center in the slot. The clearance issue is the way all the tektro brakes hang down so far below the mounting bolt. The Pauls and the Shimanos are much higher/lower profile depending on how you look at it. My Ram has

So they are Tektro R365 brakes and you can see the rear is nice and clear.

[RBW] Re: Cheviot fat tires

Joe, I have a 58 Betty Foy I currently have Schwalbe Almotions 50x584 27.5x2.0 mounted tubeless to some A23 rims. The rear has plenty of clearance but the front is close to the brake which are tektro but I don't know the number. The fork has plenty of room and I just can't quite bring myself

Garth I got my 27F used and it didn't come with the canti struts I just use regular nitto struts to mid fork eyelets since its now on a bombadil it was on a Ram w/ P Clamps. The 27F Pannier supports are really short so I had to shorten the bungie hook on the Panniers so they would stay on. On

[RBW] Re: 700 x 45-50 options

I just picked up a set of Schwalbe almotions in 50-584 but they make a 50-622 and a 55-622 and this one might be exactly the size you are looking for if they are a bit undersized. They are currently only measuring out to 43mm wide on synergies but they are taller then the 42-584 Marathons they

[RBW] Re: Clem L (low bar) for longer rides?

Roberta If I set up a Clem L or Cheviot with some nice wheels/tires and albatross/bosco bars i would probably get rid of at least 2 bikes. At speeds of 12-15 mph I don't really like drop bars as much as upright bars that have a forward hand position. I have not rode a Clem L but I have ridden 2

Re: [RBW] Is it possible to 'lengthen' cable housing?

I think a lot of people stick with bars they aren't the happiest with longer than they want because of the cost involved with swapping them out. Housing/Cable/Grips/Tape not just the bars. I just glued grips on a bar and I really want to slip a 8 speed thumb shifter on replacing a downtube

Re: [RBW] Is it possible to 'lengthen' cable housing?

This is exactly what I did when I changed to a VO Cigne stem on a bike it make the brake lines just too tight so I cut the old housing so the inline adjusters were in a good spot then added new housing from the inline adjuster to the housing stops worked perfectly. I need to do this on another
