[RBW] Real width of Schwalbe Big Ben tires and the effect with fenders.

I have the widest SKS with Schwalbe big apples in the 700x2” on my Appaloosa. They fit fine. I’d be very surprised if you have trouble with clearance. Go for it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

[RBW] 1x drivetrain question

Running a “one-by” setup is so easy. I wouldn’t have my bikes any other way. I would recommend a changing guard like the one Rivendell sells in the outer ring position if you are running a regular chainring. The alternative is a skip tooth narrow wide chainring like one from WolfTooth. I have a

What top tube pad is that? Do you have a full housing cable on the back? I know it’s a small detail but I want one on my Rivendell! On Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at 3:00:18 PM UTC-4 greenteadrinkers wrote: > My Sam in Southern Vermont yesterday... > > [image: IMG_2869.jpg][image:

[RBW] Re: Fit Question for a newbie

I have the Appaloosa in NYC, but I have the 55cm one from the original run and it's too big for you. It's a great bike for NYC. Mine is even set up singlespeed right now. It still rides amazing. Even for me - the Appaloosa feels BIG! But mine fits me well and I love it. Why don't you measure

[RBW] Recommendation for a modern mountain bike?

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying myself a new mountain bike, to complement my Rivendell and my vintage mtb commuter that is as old as I am. I was wondering what people on here might recommend. I want to spend between $700 and $1700. I want to be able to bunny-hop, hit trails, drop it in

[RBW] Re: Weird sideways tilt on a brooks professional...any guesses?

You might want to pick up some Nite-Ize rubberized bungees to help you hang that bike a little bit more delicately. Also you may want to put some leather conditioner on the brooks to see if it can be adjusted more smoothly. Just some suggestions. Good luck. m On Monday, September 21, 2020
