Re: [RBW] Re: Hot Waxing Chains

I gave hot waxing a go last year. It worked, but not better than other "dry" lubes, and was more hassle I found. I tried Finish Line's dry lube and found it to be as dirty as regular wet lubes and didn't last very long. I ended up back with Squirt. It's as clean as hot waxing as far as attracting

[RBW] Re: Hot Waxing Chains

Michael: I find that waxing leaves the chain clean so that it doesn't attract dirt. Even riding off-road it can be simply wiped down. However, I've also done some touring in wet climates & need to take along a conventional chain lube as the wax doesn't hold up well in a wet climate. It is a

Lithocarpus, sorry to hear about your friend's passing. Nothing like a ride in the country to give one time to ponder, I do plenty myself on every ride, and it feels therapeutic to me. That's a beautiful Atlantis, BTW, kinda jealous here ;-) Pancake, that stretch of Partrick Rd near the top

[RBW] Re: Orange Ram Touchup Paint

Hey Ricky, a good start would be checking out the Cyclofiend site for paint suggestions: http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/color.html You're right, Testors doesn't quite have the range they used to in the past but they do sell a reasonable amount of colors in small amounts that would work well

[RBW] Re: Orange Ram Touchup Paint

Btw my advice was also because - as we see in this thread - no one ever knows what the heck to use for touch-up paint on an orange Rambouillet. I've been reading posts on this for 19 years and it's a very particular paintjob in Japan that Riv can't even replicate now. Which is a background

Re: [RBW] Hot Waxing Chains

https://moltenspeedwax.com I ride in very fine silty sand and find that waxed chains pick up almost no dirt. I use this stuff in a small crockpot and a with a masterlink and find it easy and fast apart from waiting for the wax to melt and ensuring that the chain soaks in the liquid wax for 15

[RBW] Re: Orange Ram Touchup Paint

My advice was: "I would contact Joe Bell through his website. He didn't paint those but he's the paint master and can probably send you something pretty close to the color." The point being he probably knows what an orange Ram looks like and might have something at the shop he can sell this

I agree that if I wanted the best possible paint job, I would also contact Joe Bell. I imagine that the paint job that would replicate the color of an Orange Rambouillet and improve on the quality would be a ~$1200 paint job, and there probably is no better craftsperson on earth to do that

Cautionary note: That is not a Clem L, that is one of the original orange Clementines, a somewhat different beast. I had an orange Clementine with Albatross, worked fine. But also, Albatross is not Albastache. So the newer geo Clem L/Albastache combo, as Joe points out, will be a bit of a
