[RBW] WTB: Anyone change their mind about a MTBubbe?

I passed on the first production run of the MTBubbe, and since then have changed my mind and would like to build one - anyone get one and change their mind about building it up? I could try to get on the waiting list for if they decide to do another run, but who knows how long that will be.

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Racer front brakes with fenders

Yes I bought them new and no they aren't missing parts. I agree the bolt does look different from the one in the Pauls product photo. I didn't purchase the brakes from Pauls directly it makes more since shipping wise to purchase a bit closer to home. Just to clarify for those of you that have

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Racer front brakes with fenders

OK, now I see your predicament. I agree with Nash. The bolt in your pictures doesn't look the one in the product photos on the Paul Components website. If you bought the brakes new and that bolt came in the package, well I'm stumped. But if you bought the brake used or with missing pieces, I

Patrick Moore said "it's a futile attempt ". I'm not sure I follow what "it" is. The only thing I was attempting was to point out that fit and body position has a lot to do with how well your body can put power into the bike. Specifically I assert that IF Patrick Moore gave me his "most fun"

I just did a ride with another half-inch cut off the Boscos and it was much better: more room and less twitchy. Aside from needing more reach, I think I needed to be a little more over the front end..the wheel had a disconnected 'too far in front of me' feel I didn't like. I'm not trying to

Ryan, you may benefit from an Albatross if cutting another inch off the Choco isn't something you want to mess with. I've done major chopping on the Bosco on my Clem L and still could use a little more room, which the Alba would give me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

I wonder if these lugged seatposts have more setback than the S-83 ones do. Anybody know? Reason I ask is I wonder if my mixte position would benefit from scootching the saddle back a little . I'm using a Brooks Select on an S-83 and I'm finding that the Choco-Norms (which were chopped a bit

Same here. Of the original set of images from CT, only the last image of the bolt kit is visible. On the repost, none of the images are visible. The others and latest appear to me as just a grey circle with a white dash through it, like this: [image: Inline image 1] Tim On Fri, Sep 8, 2017 at

Bill -- it's a futile attempt; tease all you want, you can't understand it, only experience it. "Fun" after all is entirely subjective; one man's fun is another man's misery and a third man's bewilderment. I love the discipline (trained; it's a minor art) of standing to climb; and being conscious

The first photo shows the back of the brake with the recessed *bolt *that threads directly into it, no nuts involved. The second photo shows a recessed area that the head of a bolt could sit in. The head must sit absolutely flush because any protrusion would interfere with the brakes

Ok, I think I might have the answer here. I think you may be under the impression that the recessed nut, and bolt in that product shot are one piece -- one bolt that threads directly into the brake arms from the rear of the fork. That is not the case. The wide, unthreaded portion of what you
