[RBW] Re: Last Minute Japan Tips!

[DamonLee]

Hakone! I can second that. It is wonderful up there. The special train you 
take up there. The museum. A wonderful place to visit.

Re: [RBW] Riv Road spotted

[SallyG]

The Lighthouse Century sports some beautiful natural scenery (as well as 
some beautiful bikes, Mike!). I did it once during my pink Pogliaghi era 
and remember some headwinds, too! Thanks for the report:)

[Bill Lindsay]

"Curious as to whether or not they would accept the cage extension that 
currently RBW sells."

The Pretzel pedal has the cage extension BUILT IN.  You won't need the cage 
extension with the Pretzel.  It's already in there.

[Johnny Alien]

It seems like that kind of like what this is by default. There was once a 
time when there were few good flat pedals on the market and now it seems 
wide open with just so many great options. Its odd to see new variations 
still coming out.

[RBW] FS: Rivendell Silver cranks, White Industries chainring

[Artaud]

I have a barely used (maybe 30 miles?) Rivendell Silver 2 piece crankset 
with 32/22 chainrings, 172mm. Bottom bracket included (and never 
installed). The small ring was taken off and never used.

Re: [RBW] Deal alert: Five Ten cycling shoes on sale ($63)

[Richard Rose]

My experience with several pairs of 5/10’s. Fantastic grip & overall durability. Big, sharp pins without any significant damage to the Stealth soles. Freerider’s I size up 1/2 size. I can wear a 9 but my 9.5’s are better. Freerider pro size up at least 1/2 size. I did and it’s a very snug shoe. That’s certainly a very good deal.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 25, 2023, at 12:37 PM, Kim H.  wrote:@Brian,Are these shoes true to size ?Kim Hetzel.On Monday, September 25, 2023 at 9:35:17 AM UTC-7 Kim H. wrote:@Brain - I thank-you for your feedback and information about the FIVE TEN soles.

[RBW] PSA: New MKS Pretzel pedals coming out next month

[Kim H.]

I came across  these new MKS Pretzel pedals, while looking for something 
else on the MKS website. They definitely look like they a twist to them, 
like a pretzel.  Curious as to whether or not they would accept the cage 
extension that currently RBW sells.

I thank-you for your feedback and information about the FIVE TEN soles. I 
appreciate it. 

Are they waterproof ?  or can they be treated as so ?

Re: [RBW] Deal alert: Five Ten cycling shoes on sale ($63)

[Brian Turner]

Kim, Five Ten soles (in my experience) are quite durable. They are known
for being popular flat-pedal / mtb shoes, and the rubber is specially
formulated to be "sticky" in terms of gripping pedals well. I've probably
had half a dozen pairs of Five Tens over the years and have ridden mostly
mtb-style pedals, some with aggressive pin configurations. I've never
experienced the soles getting chewed up by the pins, or any undue wear from
the pedals with Five Tens. Now, my Blundstone boot soles haven't fared so
well...

[RBW] Re: Shiny front derailleur for 42/28 Silver crankset

[Drew Saunders]

When changing my Riv from 3x9 to 2x11, with a New Albion 26/42/chainguard 
setup, instead of using my Suntour XC Pro FD (which probably would have 
worked just fine), that I've been using for ~25 years, I opted for an older 
"road" double. I found a really nicely cleaned up Campagnolo Croce d'Aune 
FD from c. 1990 on eBay from the UK, and it shifts just fine. It's also 
very shiny! I've always liked having a mix of manufacturers, so although a 
similar Dura Ace or Ultegra would be just as good, I wanted a Campy part 
because I didn't have any other Campy parts on this bike. 

So, any good "road double" from the friction front shifter era would 
probably be great.

Those do look good, I was thinking this morning that some flat shoes with

Can you comment on how they fit? Would you recommend sizing up?
