[RBW] FS: Nitto Saddlebag Grip and Waxed Canvas Rain Cape

I've got one more Saddlebag Grip for sale that's been gathering dust. It's in great condition and comes with a homemade leather grip wrapped with twine. I rigged this up when I was using the grip with a large saddlesack. I had to cinch down the grip to the bag really tight to avoid any sway

Re: [RBW] New Drivetrain Setup on the Hunqapillar

Well your question that Ted replied 'no' to was: Will a well considered 1X10 give you the nice, close flatland cruising gears, with bailouts just a flick or 2 away? Which I agree with his answer, if thats what he was answering. By giving up the front options, you can't just 'flick' the front

Re: [RBW] New Drivetrain Setup on the Hunqapillar

Ted "no context" Kelly"'s reply is doubtless made to my question. But I disagree, at least theoretically, and I'd like to hear from others who have actually made the change, and have used both systems, and have concrete experience to relate. This is what I've thought of: 34.0 11.0 83.5 13.0 70.1

All of this list interest in 1 X n drivetrains; I'm intrigued. I'll be interested to hear how this compares to the 3Xn or 2Xn originals, particularly for somewhat technical riding -- ie, where you have to dump or gain large gear differences right away. I just rode my '96 (Santa Cruz-built,

For the Hon Solo. I started with clips/straps, thought I'd like a SPD option, then realized that, for this casual use bike, clips 'n' straps are better. The 324s are in vg condition. I love GR-9s, but am open to alternatives that do well with flexy boat-type slip ons. I need size L toe clips.

[RBW] 26in wheelset recommendations (inexpensive WTB?)

Probably all relative , and rim choice is probably more important than an extra 4 spokes at this circumference. I'd think a 26", 32 spoke rhyno lite would be quite a bit stronger than a 700c , 36 spoke dyad. I have a couple of 26", 36 spoke, phil wheelsets, and they honestly seem overkill for

So it seems like 36 spoke wheels are not super common in 26". I know the smaller size makes them stronger in general, but for loaded touring on bumpy roads, are 32 spokes sufficient? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To
