[RBW] Re: question re Dremel attachments

2021-05-14 Thread Luke Volkmann
I'd echo John about the bolt cutter and file. Between plugging in a Dremel, changing attachments, and actually doing the job I'd imagine doing it without a power tool would be faster and less of a choice induced headache. Plus, I find the Knipex Cobolt cutters to be a pleasure to use. Luke in

Howdy all, I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone has a 54.5 Hilsen frameset that they're hoping to move to a new home. Barring that option, I'm looking for something pretty with a similar fit to set up with 650bx42 tires, drop bars, plus racks and fenders for camping and

It sounds like you've already made the decision to buy them, but I'd like to give another thumbs up vote. I use them on my 90's Ibis cross bike with mustache bars. They seem well thought through in that they set up easy and give me a balance of power and modulation that I like. I also like how
