I'm curious about that rack... Is it a custom? It looks like a similar idea to the Velo Orange I tegrated decaleur racks, but a bit more elegant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

Thanks for all the help, guys! My reason for asking is because I have a lightly used Veloce groupset. I was kinda doubtful if the crankset would fit, too...thanks for the info on that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

[RBW] Campagnolo on a Sam/Homer?

2017-11-13 Thread Adam Kilgas
So without going too spendy (Phil/Chris King, etc), I was wondering what the options for running a Campy drivetrain on a 135mm rear spacing are? I've heard tell that Bitex offers their RAR12 with a 135mm axle and Campy freewheel, but haven't been able to find it anywhere... Anyone know of any

I'd put the White Industries hub up there in the "pricey" category as well... The VO is better, but I suppose what I'm looking for is something in the $100 range... You can find good quality Shimano/SRAM stuff all day in that price range, but Campy is a whole 'nother level, it seems. -- You

I've found that to be true in my case as well; I commuted for several years year-round on 25's and 28's here in Indiana, and on most types of snow, the narrower tire would cut through it and find some traction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Doesn't the Roadini use some of the same tubes as the Sam? And for the ones that aren't shared, how do they compare with the equivalent Sam tubes? I know a comparison like that, in addition to geometry charts, helps me to know how a frame will ride and perform. -- You received this message

This does make for an interesting question... So the Roadini has slightly steeper (.5 degree, I believe) head and seat tube angles, the top tube is baseball-batted in diameter, but does anyone know what the wall thicknesses are? Not entirely indicative of sportiness, I know, but these stats are
