[RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

Hey Joe, Thank you again, I received the brakes with 3 missing pivot bushings... if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known. The seller found them still attached to the studs and they're on their way to me. Max On Thursday, November 25, 2021 at 10:34:02 PM UTC-5 maxcr wrote: > > Thank you

Thanks Erik! (and apologies for the typo in my earlier post) Two more questions for the group: 1) I just got a used pair of Paul Motolites off craigslist - what should be included in the box? Just want to make sure I get all the parts! 2) I read in other forums that the RL520 are better than

[RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

I used the Tektro RL520 when I had drop bars on there. I have no complaints about the braking or lever feel or anything like that. I was always curious about the Dia-Compe 287 because it seems to be the list's consensus on best v-brake drop bar lever,

Hey Erick, What brake levers do you use to run motolites on a dropbar? Thanks Max On Sunday, October 3, 2021 at 11:30:51 AM UTC-4 Erik Wright wrote: > I have a 2014-ish sidepull Sam Hillborne that I picked up off this list in > spring 2018. The bike came to me with Paul Racers and I rode tires

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

A local rider, who was present at our weekly coffee outside meet up this morning, has a sidepull sam that they had canti posts added at the proper height for 650b. They’re currently running the bike with Paul motolites (which have a considerable range of adjustment) and 700c wheels. A funny way to

I have R559s on my 700c Hillborne and I could drop the brake pad down about 12mm more than it is. You would need 19mm to run a 650b rim, if I did the math correctly (622 - 584) / 2 = 19mm. The options for sidepull calipers with more than 73mm of reach are very limited. On Sunday, October 3,

[RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

The limiter here is going to be finding caliper brakes that will reach. Caliper-Sams already start with long-reach Tektro R559 or equivalent, I'm not sure even Paul Racers will reach down to 650B rims. Joe Bernard On Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 10:08:08 AM UTC-7 brenton...@gmail.com wrote:

Generally speaking, switching from 700c to 650B on any cantilever-equipped bike is considered a very bad idea, with two exceptions: 1. you have a poorly placed set of canti-posts so that they manage to work OK 2. you have a frame builder remove and attach your canti posts in the right place for

[RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

Hello, I have not tried a 650B conversion for a Sam, but I did on my Surly Pacer. I didn't like how much lower the bb/crank was, so it's going back to 700c. I have a pair of Paul Racers, long reach center pull brakes in silver, which I would be willing to sell. Let me know if you would be
