Dave, Did you suffer a post-ride breakout from that poison oak? My neck was sore for a week after my spill that day. John On Wednesday, August 19, 2015 at 9:09:56 PM UTC-7, dstein wrote: Nice setup and write up, thanks for sharing. Those dirt drops look fun! And at least you didn't crash

Very nice ride. A 60cm Bombadil or Hunqapillar is one my wish list. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

BenG - apologies those are RM14's not 13's... I have ridden a fair amount with 46 and 48cm Noodles and really like them. I used the 46cm Noodles on my Bob Jackson this week even. I find the RM14's setup the way they are on the Bomba to force me into the drops more than I do when riding Noodles

Dstein - no poison oak thank goodness!! Dedicated mountain biking like this isn't something I've done allot of. Awfully different from my standard commutes, and the rail trail point to point rides I've done. It is a great example of the diversity of fun activities you can do on a bike. --

Really cool bike! I have RM-014s on a bike, and I really like them. I ride all my dirt drops in the hooks most of the time. I feel more control and confidence in the hooks, for sure. Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW

Nice setup and write up, thanks for sharing. Those dirt drops look fun! And at least you didn't crash into a patch of poison oak like I did on my hunqapillar recently while trying to get back on the bike from an almost crash a second before! On Wednesday, August 19, 2015 at 8:14:04 PM UTC-7,
