Re: [RBW] Re: Switching hosts for this forum?

I'm just glad we still have a forum/list/whatever-it's-called for Riv stuff that hasn't been absorbed into the Facebookization of everything. I don't visit that place and am becoming increasingly wary of Instagram because they own it, too. Google Groups, kind of annoying but good enough! Joe

[RBW] Re: Fenders for bikes with big tires

I have some VO noir 63mm fenders for my non-Riv custom, to cover Fleecer ridge tire. Unfortunately, the fenders are still in their (quite nice) packaging, hanging on the wall of my shed. The fenders look great, and in the future I will figure out how to mount them with V-brakes. For my

[RBW] WTB Low-Rider Panniers + tubus rack

Hey folks! I'm looking for a couple things: 1) a low-rider rack like the Tubus 'Duo' or 'Tara' low rider. I'm open to others but I love how minimal these ones are. 2) small panniers (a set) to work with said rack. Trying to squeeze one more overnighter before the temps drop for good this

I'm quite happy with the present arrangement, except that anything that takes even something tiny away from Google is good in my book, but I'd support a change if enough other listers want it. This is solely for the record, in case anyone ever wants a show of hands. -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

I have R559s on my 700c Hillborne and I could drop the brake pad down about 12mm more than it is. You would need 19mm to run a 650b rim, if I did the math correctly (622 - 584) / 2 = 19mm. The options for sidepull calipers with more than 73mm of reach are very limited. On Sunday, October 3,

[RBW] Re: Anyone run 650b on a Sam Hillborne?

The limiter here is going to be finding caliper brakes that will reach. Caliper-Sams already start with long-reach Tektro R559 or equivalent, I'm not sure even Paul Racers will reach down to 650B rims. Joe Bernard On Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 10:08:08 AM UTC-7 brenton...@gmail.com wrote:

Re: [RBW] Fenders for bikes with big tires

I have VO fluted 52mm Zeppelin fenders on my 700x44 Compass tires (Snoqualmie Pass) mounted to Velocity Dyan rims. The tires measure 41mm when inflated to around 35psi (so delightful to ride). I like the fenders and the fitment. I'm using a RBW front fork, and the 52mm fenders had to be

Re: [RBW] Fenders for bikes with big tires

I’ll be curious to know where you wind up, both in terms of fender selection and tire clearance. My Hunq has 2” Big Bens that are nearing end of life and I’m thinking of replacing them with some 2.1” RH tires when the time comes (probably the Antelope Pass, since my riding is 98% paved, but the

[RBW] Fenders for bikes with big tires

Hello, Winter is coming ** And so fenders are needed. I have a Hunqapillar with some big 2.1" tires. My fender requirements are that they must fit, be pretty and not too short. I like long fenders because long fenders + mud-flaps keep the muck off. Here's where I'm at... - Planet Bike

Generally speaking, switching from 700c to 650B on any cantilever-equipped bike is considered a very bad idea, with two exceptions: 1. you have a poorly placed set of canti-posts so that they manage to work OK 2. you have a frame builder remove and attach your canti posts in the right place for
