[RBW] Re: Kingsport library canti-Romulus sighting

Hello Leslie - the Romulus you saw had to be mine. I work at the library and did not come down to get it until quitting time, so you might have had a long wait. I added some fenders to it over the weekend and the tires you saw, which were SwiftTire Sand Canyon 27'' tires, will not clear the

[RBW] Mount Diablo trails ride

Is anyone interested in riding some trails at Mt. Diablo or at least have some good recommendations? I have only ridden south gate and north gate roads to the top, but never any of the trails (outside of Shell Ridge and Diablo foothills Regional Park anyway). Would love get a group out

[RBW] How to clean a Brooks saddle?

I'd use proofride and forget it. Rubbing it with a wet cloth won't hurt it. I've used their saddles for 40 years. Rack one has been soaking wet several times without causing a problem. People make too big a deal of it. Try to keep them dry but don't panic over it. Marc -- You received

[RBW] Re: Let's See Some Clem/Clementine Pics

OK! Getting there. Need to wrap grips and get a bell, need a mm or so of spacing at the bashguard so the chain doesn't rub... some other fine tuning is needed, I am sure. The basket is probably too big, but my son said he liked it this morning so we can hold on to it for awhile. Setting up the

[RBW] Re: Let's See Some Clem/Clementine Pics

Looking good, Edwin!. I like how even in different builds these Clems tend to just have a good solid "bikeyness" to them. They're never really any particular type of bike, just, yanno, a bike. As an update on mine with the albastache, I was finally able to get back on it this morning after a

Johnny, If you choose a 48/34 the Sugino Mighty Tour is every bit and more than the Alpina ever was . Smooth anodising on both sides of course :) And their best chainrings to boot. http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/hasirin/imgs/9/f/9f1c5606.jpg

[RBW] Tektro Brake RL720 Interrupter Levers on Bosco Bars?

I was thinking of putting Tektro Brake RL720 Interrupter Levers on my Bosco Bars. Riv says that they don't fit Bosco's because the clamp diameter of the bars is 22.2mm and the Interrupter levers are designed for a 24.0 clamp diameter bars. But...really? Can't I just add a wrap or two of

Mark, it's just a Cygolite OSP with external pack, a discontinued model (picked it up on clearance at some point for peanuts) but I think the Mitycross line is the same stuff. It's just a handlebar mount, but even with the provided padding I couldn't quite get it tight enough so I just used

[RBW] What length Silver Cranks came on your Clem?

My 59cm Clem came with a 178 crank arm length, which got me thinking about how that relates to saddle height and bb clearance etc. I've always run 175's but is 3mm something to concern myself with? Probably not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Yes, I forgot about this. Spanninga uses a weird connector that was designed to let you use bare stripped wires, but it pinches them against the fender. Anton velolumino.com On Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at 7:06:38 PM UTC-5, Don Funke wrote: > > You may need to take the light apart and

[RBW] Re: Spanninga on hammered fender? Does it sit right?

Thanks for the info, everyone. I like the Velo Lumino light. I like that it has a reflector built in so I can comply with RUSA rules, and have added safety. The looks would definitely match the Honjos. But it is more than I would like to pay for a taillight at this time. But worth it for the

[RBW] Re: Spanninga on hammered fender? Does it sit right?

You may need to take the light apart and solder the contacts for the light to fit flush against the fender. It's a hassle, but I had to go that route. On Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at 2:56:08 PM UTC-7, Lungimsam wrote: > > Before I cut holes into a Honjo fender, does the Spaninga even sit right

[RBW] What length Silver Cranks came on your Clem?

I'm curious what length crankarms Riv is shipping on the Complete Clems. What size bike did you receive, and what crank arm length did you get? I assume the Silver cranks, like most other cranks, say the crank arm length on the inner surface of either crank arm. Jan Heine and his most

Mitchell Canyon - Deer Flat - Devil's Elbow - Prospectors Gap is a classic dirt route. Lot's o' climbing, though. My recollection is that the only singletrack was Devil's Elbow and North Peak Trail...some exposure there, too...followed by crazy-fast FR descent on Prospectors Gap. I rode the

[RBW] Re: What length Silver Cranks came on your Clem?

Each size Clem got it's own specific crank arm length. My size, the 52cm, was spec'd to get 172.5mm crank arms. The arms are actually marked '173' but I suppose marking them '172.5' would be overkill. The small Clem was supposed to get 170mm arms. I forget what the large Clem would get,
