[RBW] Quick FAQ? What’s the rear spacing on the Atlantis?

My Google-fu is off and I can’t find the answer to this definitively. Is it 135? 132.5? And has it changed through the years? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

Re: [RBW] Re: Have a Sub 20lb Roadeo?

Some components have a function that pays their way in their weight. For instance, I simply must have a Flyer saddle. 865g. Worth every gram to me. Also, 42mm, low pressur, supple tires for safety. Sure they are heavier than 23mm, but for safety, I don’t want to ride any narrower than 42.

Thanks, Erl. I “ran into” a guy I sometimes ride with on the trails and he tried the fixed, though the 66 Quickbeam is a bit large for him. He viscerally did not like it. There is definately a stigma attached, deserved or not I can’t say, but it is amazing how something that doesn’t look

Not sure what you mean by "lightweight bars" but the Compass Maes Parallel and Randonneur handlebars are available in 25.4 diameter in "superlight" versions that are under 300 grams; they can be used with 26.0 diameter stems with shims.   The bars also available in 31.8 diameter. On

[RBW] Re: Have a Sub 20lb Roadeo?

I think a half lb may be overstating it, keep in mind that just comparing stem and bar weights isn't the whole story since the threadles style needs a longer (and thus heavier) steerer tube. But most lightweight bars sold these days are 31.8, as are threadles stems whereas I doubt you'll find a

If you only need 65mm brake reach the centerbolt Paul Racers are great, the brazeon versions are even better. The tekto 559s with koolstop worked great for use with flat bar brake levers, but didn't feel great with road brake levers. Not a fan of the dia compe 750s, though they look the best.
