I'm normally proportioned, yet I bought a Wilbury as my forever bike in the

[RBW] Does this mean I have a bad rear hub?

[Joe Bernard]

The new wheel will work with your drivetrain. You may need to adjust the 
indexing a smidge to line up under the new cassette.

Thanks Joe and John,
   I'm pretty happy with how good of a match the orange is. 
Maybe a couple other small bits will get powder coated. 

Holler if you see me Joe, you can take it for a cruise.

[RBW] Re: 2017 latest dynamo/lights that are best in the world?

[Orc]

Sure, why not?

If you're fast enough so that the insignificant power losses for a non-SON 
hub are significant, then you want something that shovels a lot of light a 
long ways forward, and an IQ-X (or maybe a Luxos) is gonna be the way you 
want to go.

Likely 19¢ in bearings and 3¢ of Greene along with $20 labor. Your LBS should 
take good care of you. If not, they'll tell you that too.

Well, it does have to be the latest generation generator hubs - the new 
SONs are a little better than the previous generation.

[RBW] Does this mean I have a bad rear hub?

[lum gim fong]

Free*wheel* 7-speed cassette rear hub.

A quiet knocking noise with weighted pedaling has started.

Hub spins gravelly in the hands, and when I pinch the 36-tooth cassette cog 
between my thumb and index finger and wiggle, there is a tiny bit of play.

Do I need a new wheel, or can this be inexpensively overhauled?



*Other question is,* if I just replace the wheel with a spare wheel I have 
(it is an LX 8-speed shimano type freehub wheel, with a 7-speed cassette 
and 4.5  spacer on it), will is work with the existing indexing shimano 
7-speed derailers and shifters? Dropout spacing is the same.

I too wear these in XL, and they are the next-best to MUSA - and if you 
like slimmer fitting than MUSA, they're even better.  Really comfortable, 
light and bend freely in all the right places.

[RBW] FS: NIB Karpos 3/4 Knickers Small

[Patrick Shea]

Hey Knicker Knerds:

As a fellow knerd, I ordered these from Trekinn.com in XL and they sent me
a small. Here's what they look like:

https://www.trekkinn.com/outdoor-mountain/karpos-casatsch-baggy-3-4/137009/p_post=542306_1_null=eng=210

If you're serious, I can measure them for you.

BUT WAIT!
I also have a NIB Swobo wool jersey, woman's large but looks petite to me,
and a pair of Castelli woman's knee warmers I will include FOR FREE! The
jersey is blue and white, has three rear pockets, and has been tried on but
not used.

$70 shipped.

Cheers,
Patrick

Retirement intentions?  You will need a Cheviot for hauling groceries and

your size I would recommend a custom Wilbury.  You have my endorsement and 
permission.  Screw the guy behind you on the ferry.
