Just called. It is still available and I'm going to pick it up tonight. Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it! Brett On Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 11:18:21 AM UTC-8, Hoffsta wrote: > > I just saw this posed in another group: > >

[RBW] Work Stand Suggestions

Hi all, I'm moving to a bigger place with a basement that will be a great bike workshop area. Given the amount of time I spend tinkering, maintaining, and building bikes for my wife and I, I think it's time to upgrade past the cheap plastic work stand I have been using for the last three

[RBW] Re: Experimental MIT Atlantis Build

Same question. I'm running canti pull brake levers on my MIT Atlantis with V-brakes, which requires a Travel Agent. I tried out the Tektro V-brake levers and they are hot garbage. If the Bombshell brakes work with standard levers, that would great! On Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 10:35:19 AM

[RBW] Re: Please tell me about your experience with caliper braked Hillbornes.

My sincere thanks to you all for your comments. I think I'll go ahead with the purchase. In the short term, I'll put kool stop pads on the Tektros and see how they feel. The consensus seems to be that the Paul's are a slight step up in power, but are more work to set up (fine with me) and

[RBW] Re: Please tell me about your experience with caliper braked Hillbornes.

Joe, that begs a question! How fat were you able to go under the Paul's? I find the Paul's to have an industrial chic that is great, but the reason I keep buying their brakes is that they work great. My experience with Tektros has been more mixed, but they're a great value. I'll start with the

[RBW] Please tell me about your experience with caliper braked Hillbornes.

Friends, I'm considering the purchase of a lightly used Sam Hillborne--the caliper brake version. The only thing giving me pause is that it has been a while since I had anything with caliper brakes. The long reach required would seem to limit my options to the Paul Racer Centerpulls and the

[RBW] Re: New Dia Compe 610s on Redwood.

Really nice looking brakes, David. What are your impressions so far? Any idea what size tire they'll clear? I've got my eye on these as an upgrade, and I'm wondering if they'd squeeze a 700x38 shikoro. Best, Brett On Sunday, July 29, 2018 at 3:56:08 PM UTC-7, David B wrote: > > Back to 700c

[RBW] Recommended Mixed Surface Tires for Not-Too-Technical Riding?

Soma Cazadero come in 700x50, so they're close but not quite as big as what you're looking at. They'll fit your Clem just fine and handle great on loose stuff and gravel. They're also solid on pavement. They corner well which some nobbies don't, and the raised center means a pretty quiet

[RBW] Re: Cushy Cotton Bar Tape

Agreed. The Serfas woven is fantastic to the touch. For cotton tape, I've been cutting a used tube into quarters lengthwise (in half if you use skinny tires) and wrapping that tightly under the cotton tape. Gives some cush and increases the diameter a little, which my hands like. It works

[RBW] Re: Help me diagnose chain slip cause?

Well, I replaced the cassette and chain together last night. Problem solved. Once the cassette was off the hub I compared it to the new one. More worn than I had realized, but I'm still surprised it was causing issues. I've always read that a new cassette should get a new chain to prolong the
