Re: [RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

Curious what kind of Santana you have,and is it set up with upright bars. I have been on the HHH list, but my circumstances have changed and I cannot afford one. I was lucky enough to pick up a Santana Vision, circa early 90s with 7speed bar ends and 26" wheels. I put on 2.1 Tioga powerblocks

Thanks, Garth. The Surly tubes are slightly larger, but the clamps were still capable of securely engaging the narrower Nitto diameter. Also, for the application as pictured a plumbing tube bender is helpful for getting the tubes bent symmetrically around the braze-on centerpulls. I happened

Drew, there's nothing strange about visiting RBW as a non-bike-buyer. Anyone with 3 Rivs already has major dollars invested in the company, and undoubtedly still buys stuff from them. My policy for any bike shop visit is to buy something, which I'm sure most of us do when we drop by World

Thanks, yes, a plumbing tube bender is helpful for getting the tubes bent symmetrically around the braze-on centerpulls. Not sure exactly how it would line up w/ cantis, but that seems likely. BTW, the Surly tubes are stiffer than the Nitto. I don't think you'd need a bender for the Nittos
