[RBW] Re: Are Brooks Saddle Worth the Money?
Another consideration is where the savings on the lower priced options derive. Traditional leather tanning uses organic compounds that used properly do not pollute the environment or harm the people tanning the leather. Organic compounds cost more to obtain. Implementation is more labor intensive and takes more time. Modern chemicals and methods are available. Most likely the leather in less expensive saddles come from modern factories. Leather tanning factories in China (source of almost all lower cost leather tanning) are notorious for the pollution they spew in a country where pollution is generally accepted. Who knows about the long term health of the workers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Lock question
Pitlocks are pretty easy to defeat. A downward whack with a blunt object will knock them out of the dropout. Hopefully you didn't file off those lawyer lips. Of course, all locks are defeatable if you have the right tool and know how. Personally, I think the best strategy is to use a decent lock (or 2, if I'm nervous) and park my bike in a thoughtful way - never leave it in the same place too long or at the same place/time everyday, and bring it inside with me when possible. Also I don't go to NYC. If I do those things and my bike still gets stolen, that's amazingly bad luck. But life goes on, it's just a bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Fenders and Rams
Correct: the 539's are updated 538's, that have a bit of a lock on the quick-release on the caliper. I just switched my 538's for a set of 559's from RBW, so that I could switch to 650b's on my Ram as an experiment.

[RBW] Re: Stem sizing question
I believe in trial and error, and starting with what you have. If you're set on the Alba/Oxford, it won't cost as much to try it with the stem you have. Of course you'll need a shim - I'm so glad the 26.0 handlebar standard is (nearly) dead. Try with the stem you have and then you'll have a better idea on how much change you need out of your new stem. Of course, a cheapie Kalloy dirt drop style quill stem isn't much more than a Nitto handlebar shim.

[RBW] FS: Cranksets, tires and derailleur
Got a few things for sale as I transition a few things in my bike collection: Sugino XD-2 crankset with 175mm arms, 48-36-24 rings. Big and small ring in good shape, middle less so. $60 shipped. Suntour XC Expert crankset with NOS 175mm arms. NOS 42 and 32 rings. 20t small ring is used but stainless and in great shape. 94/56 BCD. $50 shipped Kenda Tendril 26 x 1.75 tires, brand new (just sold 26” bike) smooth rolling tire similar to Pasela. $45 shipped for the pair. IRD Alpina front derailleur used. Designed for compact triples like the Sugino. No bracket included but you can buy one for $10 for your seat tube size. $ 25 shipped.

Re: [RBW] Re: Stem sizing question
I also use noodles with an 80mm stem. Brass right at seat height and would describe the fit the same way, just about right. On my quick beam with Albas I use a 110 stem and they are just about perfect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
