Thanks Ron! I'm now leaning to try it. We'll see. On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 3:43 PM Ron Mc wrote: > no Rene, Spar varnish won't get soft and run and it won't be any slicker > than shellac - but it will be more flexible and will never peel off > > > On Wednesday, May 10, 2017

Re: [RBW] Cork grips shellac - clear vs. amber

Hmmm... now in a conundrum... which should I use? Don't like the idea of the varnish getting slick (and sticky or running off?) with soggy leather gloves as when riding in the heat or rain (no plans for that now), wondering how sticky or slippery shellac may get on the same conditions, but then

Re: [Ext] [RBW] HubbuHubbuH stoker storage compartment

Very cool. Let us know about the clearance for the stoker as you test it with several people. I'm going to use the Carradice roll bag, but the RBW would have been a preferable choice if it came in blue. I'd have put the small blue saddlesack in the back. Bag matching is awesome! René On Wed,

Re: [RBW] Cork grips shellac - clear vs. amber

Many thanks for the quick replies! I think I'll go with amber, as Philip's photo shows. I agree that the Selects will darken fairly quickly, and will follow the (unknown to me) advice of the steel wool between coats. René On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 5:59 PM drew wrote: > I

[RBW] Cork grips shellac - clear vs. amber

I need to shellac the cork grips I'm using in th Hubbuhubbuh. First time using them. Will they look nicer and match the B-67 Select saddles better with clear or with amber shellac? Any suggestions and/or photos? René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

Hi Patrick, On my Medium, I chopped off 5 inches from the super long steerer tube, which leaves about 63mm above the headset. The height of the threadless Bullmoose stem is about 42mm, which leaves me with plenty of room to play with with spacers above and below the stem to fine tune the height.

Re: [RBW] Re: On rear racks for the Hubbuhubbuh...

Interesting little adaptor. And thanks for the compliment, I too had doubts, which is why I installed a piece on the frame first, and then ran the cable to the disc brake. We'll see once all the cables are run. On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 12:09 PM, Surlyprof wrote: > I had disc

[RBW] On rear racks for the Hubbuhubbuh...

I just realized that none of my racks, possibly with the exception of the R14 will fit on my Hubbuhubbuh due to its disc brake. I did a quick search online, and found what I consider ugly black disc compatible rear racks, with the exception of the Tubus Disco Rear Rack, which can be found in

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

As I've been doing some research on the subject, it's apparent that this is just how people have been setting up their drag brakes forever, at least as far back as I've been able to research, which is several decades. Remember, it's not that you have to press hard to stop the bike, you just need

Thank you all for the compliments! I had no idea there was a brown cabling option, but like you, now everyone in my house is pretty excited with the blue cabling. Let's see how if once all the cables are run, the effect is the same or it becomes overwhelming. Can't wait for the rest of the parts

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

Yeah, the first time I saw an orange bike with a tan Brooks saddle I had an epiphany. They looked so awesome. Until that moment, and still today, almost every orange frame I see has black parts. It was the same when I saw the first silver frame with tan saddle and handlebar leather tape. Which is
