I don't think this is a secret - Rivendell will be selling El Duke degreaser in the near future. I think they will be the sole outlet. Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group

Not sure if this will help, but I've had stem creakage before that went away after putting some anti-seize compound (not quite grease, but a solid paste with copper or nickel added) on the wedge and submerged portion of the stem.Never had a problem since. Matt On Saturday, August 31,

Agree with the hand-drawn argument. My favorites are in the book Cycling the California Outback with Bodfish. As to the other style of map, there is a bike shop in Grand Marais, MN that takes a map of the Superior National Forest and highlights the best roads to ride. Been tempted from time to

Bodfish (Chuck Elliot) is still around, and has a bike shop in Lake Almanor. Twice I have ridden through the area, once going north and once going south. Both times he was able to tell me about splendid dirt detours paralleling my planned road route. On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 5:04 AM, Eric Platt

I think I will inspect the stem bolts just to be sure nothing is cracking there. Then I'll regrease everything and reinstall. Thanks for the tips. Matt, what is the name of that stuff you used? Keep them coming if anyone else has any ideas. -- You received this message because you

This just in! I took the Furiously Fred-shod Fargo (say that six times quickly) to church and back today via pavement, firm gravel, and sandy dirt and I must say that I am very, very impressed favorably with the Furious Freds. Perhaps it was simply new-bike-stuff adrenaline, but I was bombing
