Ryan: I wasn't being sensitive to perceived criticism -- some of my bikes a bit "twee", as I understood the term when I looked it up (having seen it in a post from Patrick Moore --sorry for the misattribution). As for the Berthoud flaps, I have a set on my Atlantis, and they are functionally

Re: [RBW] Fenders for 700c Hunqapillar

On my Atlantis, I use the 60mm Berthouds over Schwalbe Marathon Supremes nominal 50mm that measure pretty true. I think there's adequate clearance (especially because the fender profile is pretty flat -- that is, the cross section arc is pretty flat), but others on the list with whom I've

Re: [RBW] Mudflap quandry

PATRICK, I have these on several bikes, and they work very well -- stiff enough to do their job, but flexible enough to negotiate curbs, etc. They hold up well in use. They look "used" almost right away, but at least in my experience never look trashed out. And the reflective material piece is

Just saw this, so you may long ago have gotten an answer, but… I am in the process of building up a Clementine 59 with Schwalbe Big Ones (29 X 2.35), and there is more than ample room. So I'm sure the somewhat smaller Smart Sams would fit easily. From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam Sighting

I don't know whose that is, but there are others in the Penn cachement area. Keep an eye out for my son's green version, here on the GAP Trail just north of Cumberland (on the first Riv Rally East) but now frequently out and about in West Phil en route to Temple: https://flic.kr/p/bBaXWh Sent

Re: [RBW] Locks

I really like the Abus lock you referenced. It has a sturdy but lightweight holster that mounts to water bottle cage braze-ons. I put mine under the down tube on my Bombadil and Atlantis, and I don't even notice it's there until I need it. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 21, 2016, at 9:08 PM,
