[RBW] Re: Brake comparison again

I would say it's consistent with my experience. "Modulation" gets used a lot around bicycle brakes, and a lot of time very imprecisely. In this case - accurately - we're talking about the range of response. There were a few good articles over the years - one in an Old Reader and another by

[RBW] Fall Clean-up - Delays for the Moderated & A Few Thoughts

Hey there - Saw a post go through the queue this morning that said the person had been trying to get messages onto the board for a while. That led me to heave open the doors to the root cellar of the google SPAM folder, where I found about a dozen requests to be unmoderated had been living.

[RBW] Re: I Bailed Off Flicker

Indeed - I keep my Flickr subscription partially out of habit. But, even with all the "improvements" it still does a fine job. Yahoo ownership a minus. All the folks who I've been there with for the past (mumble-mumble) years a significant plus. Flickr has become the old bike shop on the

[RBW] Re: Paul brakes recommendation

Coming in a bit late to the thread, I realize... Finding someone in most shops who actually knows how to adjust canti's is not easy. Look for the greybeard silverback most-ent-like denizen. As Benz points out - if you have removed gaps or seating issues in the housing so that there's no

[RBW] Re: Hilsen vs. rambouillet

You might try playing with the tires first. That's going to have a lot to do with how either bike rides. I've run brevets and centuries on my Hilsen with Jack Brown-Greens (33 1/3) and have been very happy. If the 60 cm Rambouillet fits you better (yours or someone else's?) you might take

[RBW] Re: FYI: Saluki on Ebay

And just to be clear - the text description does indicate a white saddle rather than the black one shown in the BikeIndex photo. Other than that, it looks awfully similar, right down to the unique stem and choice of brake lever angle. Is anyone on the list a bikeindex member? It looks like
