Re: [RBW] Grocery Run - No Trailer Test

Any idea of the total weight in all those bags? I recall trying out front loading, in a very cursory way, some 6-8 years ago, with a thrift store Schwinn Voyager, to which I'd attached Wald's biggest front basket. I carried as much as 56 lbs in it, but handling was simply not safe; neither riding

Looks pretty deep! I found myself unable to maintain momentum even in fresh untouched snow much over 1' deep here in VA last week... Maybe I need more practice! :) Gorgeous shots as always, thanks for sharing. Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

All told, Tony, we got about 20". So much of what is rideable depends on how wet the snow it and what lies beneath. This was nearly champaign powder, so rideable just barely. With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, February 4, 2016 at 6:44:56 AM UTC-7, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > Looks pretty deep!

Re: [RBW] Grocery Run

I was running 26x1.9" Nokian M studded tires and I bogged down very quickly in 8"+ snow on the bike paths I tried to ride on... Those tires with great on the ice-rutted trails after a refreeze. On Thu, Feb 4, 2016, 08:22 Patrick Moore wrote: > I was surprised at how easy

Great pictures Deacon. I'll use those images as motivation to get out there when it's brutally cold here in the Bay Area. Like in the 40's -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [RBW] Grocery Run

I was surprised at how easy 4-5" was, but my tires measure 58 mm wide (Race Lite). Of course, I was geared down quite a bit. What tires were you riding? I daresay 12" would have been very different. Virgin snow, not packed or rutted. On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 6:44 AM, Tony DeFilippo

[RBW] grocery run

Took the Sam to the supermarket today to get some groceries. Not a huge load, but enough to fill 2 smallish panniers and a large saddle bag. I commute with just the saddle bag so I'm not used to that much weight. Thing is, it felt pretty good. Uphill took a little more effort but on the flats it
