Re: [RBW] Re: FT: My TRP RRL Brake Lever for Your Shimano Tiagra Brake Lever

Hey Irv. I think I have some Tiagra levers, don't remember getting rid of them. If I do have them, they are hardly used and never on a bike that sat outside. If you're still looking, I will see if I can find them... Merry Christmas, Doug On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 8:54 AM, Irv wrote: > Forgot to

[RBW] Re: Good compromise between a Marathon and a Hetre? Is it the Soma Xpress 650b?

The tread is the same as a pasela, but the tire is a bit fatter on a Soma B-line. It seems that the SomaXpress has a bit more tread and has an extra layer of protection. The B-lines are super light, easy to take on and off, and honestly hardly get flats. I've taken them on sandy, rocky, and mud

Thanks for the chuckle Ron !! Make a real impact resistant one at that ;) Maybe this bike and the hundred dollar used Riv water bottle would make a great pair . ;) I've got a pair of handlebars from my '83 Stumpie I could sell for a cool $500 if anyone's interested lo

Forgot to mention, my set of TRL RRL Brake levers are brand new, so I would like to trade for similar condition brake levers, not some super beausaged versions. If your levers are in good condition and you're willing to throw in cash for replacement hoods, we can also discuss a trade. -- You

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Marathon Winter Experience

I just started using a studded front tire- in my case, a 700x40 Kenda Klondike. It's a noisy tire, someone likened studded tires to frying bacon, which I can confirm as eerily accurate. I actually like the sound; it makes me feel like I'm driving a tank (which I kinda am). The tire is sluggish

My 700X40s have provided surefooted ice and packed snow, mostly guessing about pressures by feel. On the road at higher pressure they feel sluggish compared to my regular puncture protected commuting tire and do still have stud contact with the road making an audible and physically sensed low f
