[RBW] Re: Appaloosa question

It's a demi-porteur/ rando rack he built himself under orc racks. I have had two of his racks, and still have one of them on my girlfriend's pelican. It's very light and stiff, well built. I've only carried about 30lb of groceries on it, but it held up great. Highly recommend a rack from him.

[RBW] Re: FS: 2017 Appaloosa 51cm green

for me it was financial reasons i had to cut the appaloosa. it was either the custom or appaloosa, and I figure when things have settles, an appaloosa will still be there, my custom will not. On Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 9:18:15 PM UTC-4, Singlespeed Johnny wrote: > > a lot of people see to be

[RBW] Re: Crowd sourcing ideas for vintage parts for a new randonneuring rig (semi sort of WTB)

I have SUNXCD rear derailleur, shifts to 34t. Silver and nice and lightweight. A bit pricey, I think microshift also makes a good rear derialleur as well. One of the best purchases I've made is the Rene Herse crank sold by Compass. Expensive, but durable and light! On Wednesday, July 19, 2017

[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell Hunqapillar (54 cm) complete bike

yes a smaller seat post, to provide more standover and to account for tire size, there's going to be about 4-5cm difference in tire height between a hunq and a bleriot or road bike, which is the difference between riding a 54cm hunq and a 57cm bleriot or road. the ritcheys and stumpjumpers

[RBW] Re: Choco norm vs Albas

i've tried the albas and they come back quite a bit. I'm sure the chocos are nice, but they sweep even further back. i recently had boscos on my now-sold appaloosa. those bars were super awesome. On Friday, July 14, 2017 at 12:40:46 AM UTC-4, Jay in Tel Aviv wrote: > > Anyone tried both? > >

[RBW] Re: Atlas-like but tubeless

I think SBH will be closer to 48-50mm range depending on pressure for cliff hangers. they are 47.5mm on pacenti brevets with 19mm internal width i believe. so the cliff hangers should be fine with SBH On Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at 3:48:40 AM UTC-4, drew wrote: > > Ok leaning toward cliffhangers.

Re: [RBW] QUESTION: Rat Trap Pass

35 rear 30 front on atlas rims converted tubeless with load for EL casing. Ran a little less on standard - 30 rear 26-28 front. patrick, compass tires require a bit more psi IME than schwalbe tires due to the thin sidewall casings. On Wednesday, July 5, 2017 at 9:01:20 AM UTC-4, Patrick

Re: [RBW] Brake Adjustment: Paul Racers vs. Cantilevers

Ive tried almost all of Paul brake offerings besides their disc brakes. I've had good luck setting up their cantis. The touring cantis feel a bit more powerful, but I like the wide profile for larger tires and more clearance for mud and slightly better modulation. Out of all Paul brakes that
