Thnx for suggestions. I believe the ui-12 is too short. I need more than 80mm above min insertion line. And thanks for the Google heads up, but that is the first thing I did, but didnt turn up much which is why I asked here. Thnx for the ti cycles tip, looks promising. I'll check Bruce Gordon

[RBW] need help finding a custom quill stem maker?

Looking for a 31.8 quill stem. I saw the NItto UI-12, but am afraid with only 85mm of height above min insertion line, I am thinking of going through the custom route. Anyone know of any custom stem makers that make quill stems for 31.8 clamps that is suitable for offroad use? -- You

[RBW] Need advice on a potential Quickbeam Modification

A sliding dropout that splits to allow the belt through the stays might work. I think (cursory googling) that the Paragon one would only work with 142x12 axles, which sounds like a new wheel and a reset rear triangle. Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are

[RBW] Need advice on a potential Quickbeam Modification

You'd need some way to displace the right chainstay for mounting/removing the belt, which would be very custom, and likely very expensive. I think you'd be better off selling the bike for one with a belt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Re: [RBW] Need advice on a potential Quickbeam Modification

I’m interested in what the advantages are, and how they would justify the expense of some pretty significant modifications to your QB to make them worthwhile. I think I’ve read that a belt drive is actually not as efficient as a traditional chain? --Eric N campyonly...@me.com

[RBW] Need advice on a potential Quickbeam Modification

I'm once again considering having my Quickbeam modified to use a belt drive. I saw a ton of them at NAHBS and a carbon belt seems to make a lot of sense over a chain. I suspect that the frame modification will be major. Does anyone have any advice on this? best tom s. -- You received this

Re: [RBW] NEED a tip for slipping seatpost head

I fixed the opposite problem, nose slipping forward (because I stupidly had the saddle all the way forward on the rails; long story) with blue Locktite on the cradle. The sp in question was a Logic, thus very like, if not identical to, the Crystal Fellow. OTOH, I've since taken to running my

[RBW] NEED a tip for slipping seatpost head

OK, boosting off of the "slipping seatpost" topic ... My two Rivs both have what I think is the Nitto S65 Crystal Fellow seatpost, the one with the single adjustment bolt for the angle of the seat. The seatposts will not keep the seats at the angle at which I set them. Over just a few miles,

[RBW] Need a very, very small part

I have a very nice Sugino 48 tooth ring, 7075 Al, ramps & pins, silver and black. Nice looking. I have had it for a few years but it is still in good condition, and shifts very well. During a recent inspection, I noticed for the first time that it has threads for a traditional stud which would

What color and length do you need? I have a white strap that came with my zip roll that I don't need. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Nov 4, 2015, at 4:49 PM, hsmitham wrote: > > I suppose I could email Carradice but
