[RBW] Re: Winter Shoe Recommendations?

2012-10-01 Thread Zack

i wonder if it has something to do with bike size and weight. I have 64cm sam and 62cm hunq, and both immediately slide down so that it seems like a. bike is totally unbalanced and might fall, and b. bike's weight is on saddle rails. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

I stick shifted my Sam when i ruined my front derailer and was waiting a few weeks to replace it. I didn't dedicate a stick, i left it up to the world to provide me a stick when I needed it. I also didn't shift much. Funny how we learn to make do. -- You received this message because you

Yep, that is what I did when I sold a pair of albas (make a box). Was ugly, but got the job done. This stuff is all still available. Would do the whole shebang for $225. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this

[RBW] Bottom Bracket Clicking Question

2012-09-14 Thread Zack
My sam has developed a weird thing. There is like a grinding sound at the same point of every revolution of the crank arm. I removed the chain and confirmed that the grinding sound still happens, so it appears to be related to the bottom bracket. Any ideas on what this is? Bottom Bracket

Ok this is plain weird. My wife came home and said something is wrong with my bike I just checked and the exact same thing is happening on her betty as on my sam. So the constant here is me, as I took both cranks off our bikes to swap chain rings. I put the cranks back on and greased the

i could be wrong, but i don't think that Riv framesaves frames if you don't get a complete bike - i think i read that they don't do it because the framesaver leaks all over the bike packing stuff. easy enough to double-check that though, just wouldn't want you to think it had happened if it

I ride mine in the winter, in Vermont. Love it. I thought about getting a beater but that would just be time spent on a bike that I don't love, which isn't worth it. I probably wouldn't ride without fenders though, as wintertime increases the amount of junk on the road that is getting kicked
