One thing to note - recent xt model derailers (at least mine) no longer have the floating upper pulley. So flipping pulleys will have no effect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

There doesn't appear to be any digging into the the body, no. It's just a really, unusually snug fit, like obnoxiously snug... like the maker didn't machine it to spec. At any rate, thanks Bill and Tim. On Saturday, December 13, 2014 9:27:58 AM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: Is the issue that

It is a fun ride for sure. Lake Elkhorrn has a path that also hooks up with the Long Reach path system that will take you to Jackson Pond in Long Reach, Columbia. For longer, wide MUP systems in the area, check out the Catonsville Grist Mill Trail to BWI Trail to B A trail which takes you from

Group, would you mind offering your most ideal road-ish riding wheel set built by Riv (Rich)? This could be what you currently ride or would like to ride. I'm in the process of putting ideas together for a set and I'd value your opinions. Parameters: 650b Hilsen. 8sp cassette. Would

Hmmm...interesting. If true, this could save me some hassle. Thanks for the tip, when I get my new bike, I'll definitely check before I start messing with the pulleys. Doug Williams On Sunday, December 14, 2014 9:03:19 AM UTC-8, Clayton.sf wrote: One thing to note - recent xt model derailers

If I bought a wheelset from RBW, I would ask for Grand Bois 650b rims - black label, laced to a SONdelux wide body hub for the front wheel. Spokes would be whatever Rich recommended. My GB Hetre and GB Cyprus tires have aired up and bead set with practically no trouble on my Grand Bois 650b

PS - your choice of dyno hub is best selected by what features you want out of a hub, so the ones we recommend may not be best for you. I am sure Rich could let you know which hub would suit your needs best. Some charge electronics better while riding, some make a wheel build stronger, some do

Very cool! What a beautiful rack. Neato bartape design! I am surprised though that there is no strut to attack through the fork crown. Fenders next? Looks like you can daruma fender right up flush against the fork crown as you have cantis on the bike for massive clearance! -- You received this
