Hi there! What are the details on the Sturmey Archer wheel? Like: hub model, number of speeds, size of wheel, and spoke count. Thanks, Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [RBW] Wald 257 rack

I've had a Wald 257 on my Raleigh Crested Butte for over a year and LOVE IT. It is quite the heavy-duty rack, and HEAVY (I'm guessing about 8 pounds) but it definitely hauls the stuff. As for the struts being "flimsy": I STRONGLY disagree. The struts are stout and also adjustable, so a variety

Here's a couple recent shots of my Bantam loaded up. I switch it up a bit, but there's generally a front "rando" style bag (North St), a frame

Re: [RBW] Warm weather bike clothing, long sleeved

I know this may be an unpopular opinion here, but I like the long sleeved shirts offered by major outdoor brands. Yeah, they are synthetic, but they do the job, and are lightweight. Great for bringing on a bike tour, since they dry fast and can be crammed in your clothing bag without worry of

[RBW] WTB: XL MUSA Knickers with the velcro ankle straps

Hello fine folks, I figured I'd throw this out there. I have had a pair of the MUSA Knickers with the velcro straps at the ankle for a few years. I love them, and have gotten them repaired a few times. Now they need more repairs and I'd like to see if there may be a replacement pair out there

[RBW] Re: Best way to move bikes cross-country?

Tracy, where are you moving to? I think you are in Denver now. If it's to another city with Amtrak service that has baggage service, you can ship the bike via Amtrak Express. I think the rates are typically $50-75 plus the box which costs $15. The big benefit to using their box is that it's the

Re: [RBW] Re: Opinions on saddlebags? Swift vs. Carradice vs. Sackville

Hey Eric- I had the small version of their saddlebag for a few years. It was fine. You are correct in thinking the quality isn't going to be as nice as the other options. I found that the leather wasn't as good, and since the canvas isn't as thick or stiff as others, the bag can sag. If you
