Rear brake set-up works so great, I've been doing long skids for fun, which I just couldn't do before.I thought about doing it on the underside, like René did, but figured it was worth a try like this, which really isn't much different. I'd say just go for it! P.S. I still love this bike.

Oh bummer, weird that 718 sold you that. They're usually on top of everything! I love that shop. -- 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 rbw-owner

Bridget and I've worked together on many occasions at multiple institutions, and yes, she's the coolest by far. As far as basket support up front, I only like lowriders up front coupled with a small barrel bag on the bars. That high centered load never feels good to me on my Quickbeam or my Clem

Cool painting! I simply zip tied the basket to a Nitto M18 and scrapped the Wald struts. Very solid On Thursday, May 4, 2017 at 2:53:13 PM UTC-4, Antone Könst wrote: > Got my dream frame, 60 orange chevy, from Clayton a few weeks ago. He did > a great job packing and shipping BTW> > > Been rid

Kai, you know Bridget?! She's the coolest! Also, I think I saw your mustard Clem once at Mana, am I right? I had a feeling my rack should be lower, which also means I should shorten the Wald basket struts I guess, by chopping them up? Would it make sense to return my 8Pack (unwitting guy at 718

Any friend of Bridget Mullen is a friend of mine... Nice bike!, but that rack and pup need to get lower, right? I don't think you'll get it from those riv approved braze ons, what you need are some p-clamps. They're easy to use and they make your bike look even less desirable to thieves. You t
