[RBW] appaloosa tire fit

anyone know if a schwalbe g one speed tire, 60 mm, will fit the joe app? I put the one I had on the front and fits fine. only possible issue would be side clearance down by the chainstays, I think. before I order another I thought I'd see if anyone's got actual experience. thanks, -- You

[RBW] Re: Has anyone attached a saddlesack to a front rack?

I zip tied a medium saddlesack to a nitto rear rack that I mounted as a front rack on my appaloosa. worked dandy. I have since replaced with a wald basket which also works well. but it's a thoroughly workable and not bad looking setup. On Monday, May 7, 2018 at 7:25:01 AM UTC-4, Belopsky

[RBW] Re: WTB: Black Saddlesack Large or Medium

hey weth, if you search through the riv archives, there's a mention to the effect that the black color, after a very brief run, was being changed by the supplier of the canvas to a dark greenish, grayish color, which is probably what's on ebay. good luck with the black. tom On Tuesday, March

dave, your experiences in uprightness mirror mine to a tee...have tried on a quickbeam an appaloosa and a waterford and gone back to drops, usually mounted a little below or about equal to the seat...I too would love to know how drops would work on a cheviot. even at age 72 I need to be a bit

Re: [RBW] Re: My trials and tribulations with upright bars
