[RBW] Need advice on a potential Quickbeam Modification
I'm once again considering having my Quickbeam modified to use a belt drive. I saw a ton of them at NAHBS and a carbon belt seems to make a lot of sense over a chain. I suspect that the frame modification will be major. Does anyone have any advice on this? best tom s. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] New Drivetrain for my Atlantis
hello everyone I've had a mix of components on my atlantis for it's life, these 10 years or so. different shifters, hubs, gears, drivetrain, etc. I've got the urge to do an upgrade, and I'd really like to go campy. I've been advised that my chris king hubs are fine, so long as they get serviced every six months, so I guess I'll keep those, but everything else is up for change. This is my goto bike for commuting and tours. I guess I don't have to explain that to this group. So, what 's the consensus? best regards tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: QB rear wheel
I've had some trouble keeping the rear wheel in one place as well. I took the trouble to mark the quick release when I thought I had it lined up pretty well, and it seems to slowly walk away from the marks over a 20-30 rides of an hour each. I've been wondering if the chain is going to wear a little faster because it's slightly out of line. any thoughts on that? On Feb 25, 5:53 am, Todd Olsen todd_ol...@comcast.net wrote: I think this is why the axle may be more likely to move on a singlespeed. The chain, while pedaling forward, pulls the axle both forward and up. The force, resisting forward or trying to pedal backward, pulls the axle both forward and down. Since there is a tiny bit of play, everytime it makes the transition from up to down and vice versa, it will slip forward a little, as well. Having a derailer and access to large rear sprockets will actually increase the force pulling the rear axle forward and up due to the increase leverage of applying the force farther from the axle. Pedaling harder will linearly increase the force applied to the rear axle, but shifting to a larger rear sprocket will multiply the force on the rear axle. Todd Olsen On Feb 24, 5:10 pm, Invisible brooks.wes...@gmail.com wrote: I may be drifting off topic, but: On my dinglespeed (Redline Monocog 29er, not a Quickbeam), grinding up steep hills in the lower gear will sometimes cause the rear wheel to slip forward - and this is with a bolt-on axle. Here's my theory: with no derailer, there's no worry of spurious gear-hopping so I worry less about how much torque I put on the cranks, and so I crank harder. For this reason I can put a lot more force into a derailer-less bike. So there might be something to the idea that wheel slippage is a greater threat w/o a derailer. -Wesley --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
