[RBW] Re: Rib-Inspired hiking gear?

I'm in Iceland right now doing some hiking and a lot of thinking about biking thru Iceland. I brought a topo backpack, some danner mountain lites with the cordura window (which are more and more, the only shoes I wear if I can), musa pants and shorts, patagonia Nano puff hoodie (excellent for tr

[RBW] Re: Stolen Fuji Touring bike in San Diego.

Had a few long beach friends find their stolen bikes at various used bike shops in the area that claim to not buy stolen bikes. One had to buy his back, since he didn't have any proof. Worth checking around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Own

[RBW] Re: Dirt Drop stem with Atlantis?

I actually quite like the look of the dirt drop with most bars other than full uprights. Something sorta badass about it. I have the 8cm on my hunq with albastache. I can't imagine going longer, but the top tube on the hunqapillar is quite long. Not sure how it compares to the Atlantis top tube.

[RBW] Re: Wool for handllebar grips???

I use wool on the grip area of albatross bars, where a cork grip would go. I've just cut a sock or surplus blanket, wrapped and taped. I put newbaums over mine and shellacked once or twice (where the rest of the wrapped bar will get 3 to 4 coats). Provides a very minor cushion, and adds a wider
