[RBW] need help finding a custom quill stem maker?

Thnx for suggestions. I believe the ui-12 is too short. I need more than 80mm above min insertion line. And thanks for the Google heads up, but that is the first thing I did, but didnt turn up much which is why I asked here. Thnx for the ti cycles tip, looks promising. I'll check Bruce Gordon

[RBW] need help finding a custom quill stem maker?

Looking for a 31.8 quill stem. I saw the NItto UI-12, but am afraid with only 85mm of height above min insertion line, I am thinking of going through the custom route. Anyone know of any custom stem makers that make quill stems for 31.8 clamps that is suitable for offroad use? -- You

Yes, I've seen these. Almost looks like they bent the metal and welded it at the bottom of the fold? The reach is a bit too long, and I've heard lukewarm reviews, mostly aesthetically positive, but not much in quality. Thanks Matt for the recommendation, Winter might be too expensive, but I

[RBW] Is there a practical alternative to a Roadeo for lightweight yet comfortable build?

Pierre, Have you looked at the Soma San Marcos? It's super light. Built up with racks, fenders and non light weight parts it's easily 23lb. I have the 51 lb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Re: [RBW] Pass & Stow Porteur Rack Experiences.

Same experience. They claimed it was delivered. They were unable to send me tracking number, and said they would refund. Didn't answer any follow up emails for a month as I never got the refund. Ultimately had to go through my bank. Fortunately, I saved all emails and documentation and had them
