My wife's 52" orange Clementine shipped, reportedly will arrive next Wednesday. Can't wait, her motobecane mirage and mb-3 are both giving up their best parts to build it up... First brand new bike in our household. I liked the original orange from the prototypes better, it was closer to her

Re: [RBW] Re: Clems have shipped!

Nice to hear people's build plans. For me, I am happy that I don't have to think about a thing. Aside from adding the necessary accessories, I plan to leave it stock (maybe tires at some point. Partly for fun to see the difference). I guess I'm a bit tired of builds right now, fun as they can

Re: [RBW] Re: Clems have shipped!

Thanks, Bill. I guess everybody in the biz must know that about the Rinko headsets! Sounds like a good innovation, to use cartridge bearings, and I guess it's fair to assume they're pre-greased. - Andrew "why am I always the last to know?", Berkeley On Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 2:43:04 PM

Re: [RBW] Re: Clems have shipped!

If you haven't encountered rinko before, it's a pretty cool thing. Doubt it'll ever be quite so useful in the US, but heck, I had still planned to upgrade to a rinko headset on my Clem anyway, so this was perfect. The basic idea is to make a bike that can quickly be broken down to fit in a

Pudge you are right about those Gamoh racks. That is why I took it off my Sam! Maybe I'll pop one of those cheap little Nashbar front racks on, it is what he has on his 24" bike now. Edwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clems have shipped!

Those rinko headsets have a cartridge bearing that is sitting inside the cups, similar, but not identical to Shimano. With Shimanos, the cartridge falls right out. With 'normal' ball bearing headsets there's a ring with ball bearings that you slather with grease and install. The headset on

Hmmm... watching the video, I wonder, how did the fork bearings get in there? They came already packed in grease, in the cups, in the frame? - Andrew, Berkeley On Monday, October 26, 2015 at 3:06:19 PM UTC-7, Edwin W wrote: > > Just posted on the Blug: > http://rivbike.tumblr.com/ > "For anyone
