Re: [RBW] Re: Daring to wrench on my Riv's?
Johann - no problem with up or down as long as it isn't in reference to direction you are pushing the wrench, like the other suggestion of down for out. Down with the wrench to the front or back? I suppose with a bottom bracket your wrench is facing the front of the bike, as the other orientation doesn't work as well. Johann, your memory aid seems good. I should probably put a crib sheet in my toolbox. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

surprising, it was Jim's trial-and-error directions that took this thread south for me. I work on valuable antique fishing reels for a hobby business. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/bluegrass/talbot/cP4220108.jpg often fabricating parts, and sometimes taking cutters or files to them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/bluegrass/talbot/cP4170104c.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/bluegrass/talbot/niangua03.jpg start with the correct tools, plan everything, and know your limitations. E.g., if it's you can't readily remove a 40-year-seated bottom bracket cup, take it to your LBS - they can afford much better tools than we can, and will preclude your half-day of frustration and damage with a 3-minute ah-ha.

Though they never articulated these points out loud, here are some of the things I felt they taught: Learn to recognize that point at which you are about to apply needless force. Moving forward from that point is a choice. As is retreating. Understand that stepping back and staring at the problem is a vital step. By the time you have affixed wrench to part, you should know precisely what will happen. Smooth torque and leverage beats raining blows down upon things almost every time.

Do not spin the pedals on a fixed gear without double checking where everyone's fingers are. Hang up your tools (or use the same apron pocket each time). Understand what the TLR's are. (Tools of Last Resort) Understand when to use them. Grease all threads. Also... when you go to use a crank puller. Always check one more time that the little washer isn't still sitting in there before you thread on the tool. hope that helps! - Jim cyclofiend.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Is there any difference between right and left on these thumbies, other than direction. That is, do they pull different lengths of cable?

[RBW] Re: Alternate mounting for Nitto Mark's Rack?
I did a similar thing on my Surly LHT, using the low rider mounts and threaded holes on the side of their crown. Seems pretty beefy to me, although I mainly use it for a Small TrunkSack so I don't load it up with big weight. Still, in 1.5 years of lots of bumpy riding it's never given any signs of coming loose or even flexing all that much. https://flic.kr/p/ePgvBT On Sunday, December 7, 2014 1:02:42 PM UTC-8, BSWP wrote: Has anyone ever mounted a Mark's Rack to the tops of the fork crown, on fork crowns that have threaded holes right where the forks would come poking through the crown if they weren't capped by the crown? It seems possible with some careful bending of two rack stays, and would avoid passing the diving board through the brake arm and cable area where clearances might be tight. Maybe even a stronger way to fix the rear of the rack to the fork crown, than using the diving board? - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Help Choosing Tires - Jack Brown vs. Compass Stampede Pass
Thomas, I have been using the (old) Vittoria Randonneur Hypers (now Voyagers) in 35 38 mm on three bikes for a few years now with thousands of miles and no flats. Not only that, they seem as supple as Marathon Supremes without the price, though might not be quite as light. Getting great mileage, too. (Haven't worn one out yet.) I like them a lot for pavement and gravel surfaces. Paul Germain Midlothian, Va. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014 5:33:13 PM UTC-5, Thomas B wrote: The Compass tires are great, no question in my mind. I've been commuting on them since summer. However, when the wet weather came to the Bay Area I started getting flats riding through pretty awful streets of Richmond and put Pasela TG's back on.
