I like CX50s for clarity of setup. They work well, and they look okay. They are pretty cheap, compared to those Suntour XCs. Once you’re talking $180 brake sets, you may as well pay $260 for Paul Minimotos. Easy setup, extremely awesome stopping power, and no brake judder. Philip Santa

If you’re coming by bike, I can escort you to the Cross Marin trail from Fairfax. I’ve never been on the Loma Alta(?) fireroad, but I see it on the map. I don’t mind climbing White Hill, so I’m not worried about missing it. I do kind of want to bring two bikes, now, though. Philip Santa

I just took Friday July 19 off, so I can come down on the train. Not sure on time of day yet, but I’m happy to convoy with people coming down from the North Bay. Long day = head over to Mill Valley, up RR Grade, out Bolinas Ridge, find the Jewell Trail. Late start = Straight to Fairfax, find

Coincidentally, I just ordered the commemorative patches to be made. Get them on Etsy: https://etsy.me/2L9smrG I can’t add an image from my phone, but the patch is a riff on the Riv logo, and a Reader-style headline that plays off the Rivendell slogan. Note: Grant approved the production of

Hey Darin, it’s this one: https://www.outershelladventure.com/shop/camera-strap If you click through, there’s an SF Mash collaboration strap for less money, but I’m not sure why. “Thinner” maybe. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Awesome. I just looked up the Olympus xa, too. That looks extremely cool. I had geeked out on the Rollei 35 years ago, but never bought one. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

I am interested! Orange for sure. I’ve been mounting a tender bag on the back of my basket, and this looks perfect, since it’s squarer. I have three bikes with baskets, and one is orange. It seems like I could move a camera from my body to the bag for transport stages or hairy trails where you

Sorry, I have a ii not a iii. It looks like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/BiA_P8IhNus/?igshid=n81fstvn3448 I had the camera and lens tuned up nicely by DAG Cameras last year, but I’ll keep the other shop in mind as well. I just arranged to purchase one of those cross-body straps. By

[RBW] Film cameras on bike rides?

What’s the best way to carry a valuable/sentimental/fragile film camera on mixed terrain bike rides? I have a Leica iii(d) I inherited and refurbished that I very much like to shoot. When I’m walking around, the best setup seems to be running both ends of the metal snake strap to the right
