[RBW] Re: Saddle Advice Needed, Especially From the Riv Chica Warriors

Hi Cecily, Just a thought, but what tires are you riding? My wife thought her Brooks B67s was too hard until I switched her Betty Foy over to a pair of 26" Compass Bicycles' tires. The same worked for me on my Hunqapillar. After I put on a pair of Barlow Pass tires, my favorite saddle is

Re: [RBW] Saddle Advice Needed, Especially From the Riv Chica Warriors

I suggest you proofhide it. Leave it on overnight, polish it off with a towel in the morning. I had a sprung Brooks flyer saddle that was great outta the box. Started hurting my left sit bone after 500 miles or so. I proofhided it, especially focussing on the side that hurt. Stopped hurting me

Re: [RBW] Re: Orange 58cm Rambouillets Is this a Mythical Beast?

Are you saying you have a roadeo in my size? One that's ruff around the edges? To be clear I just want a frame & fork as I have the parts already. And yeah I checked Alexcycles unfortunately none in my size. On Mar 16, 2016 12:03 PM, "Lungimsam" wrote: > If munny isn't an

[RBW] Re: Handlebar 'clicking' with shim

If it were me, the first thing I would do is make sure the Nitto Shims are not touching each other. The nitto 25.4 to 26.0 shims are two half-circles. There's a tiny gap between them. Try to have them set up such that it is a tiny half-gap on both sides. The second thing I would do is make

[RBW] FS: Smith Optics riding glasses

Some of the best riding glasses I've ever had. Smith Optics with interchangeable lenses. Dark, clear and rose. I always had trouble with my Tifosi lenses staying in after a few changes. The Smith system is really nice. I have the hard case and the cleaning bag. Since my detached retina and

That's some nice pin striping. Looking forward to the build. I think we tolerate "Beausage" but we like shiny new things too! ~Hugh On Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 2:05:51 PM UTC-7, T.O.M. wrote: > > Wow, I'm honored that you're asking! I don't know how well this will go > over with the

This post seems to be sticking around. So I might as well add to it...back in 2010...maybe 2009 whatever...I was hit pretty hard by the "Great Recession" and at Christmas time things were really tight. So it was just a kids kind of deal. I had always admired/loved Riv but could never afford

Re: [RBW] Re: Orange 58cm Rambouillets Is this a Mythical Beast?

Yup. This one I have seen and a beauty too. I reached out and asked whether he was interested in selling just the F/F/HS but he wants to sell it as a complete, which I completely understand. At the moment I'm reluctant to buy as a whole and sell off the parts. It's a hassle. Thanks for the heads

Re: [RBW] Saddle Advice Needed, Especially From the Riv Chica Warriors

I'll second Frederick's advice. "Fine for years" tells me you've worn through its usefulness. The discomfort you describe is exactly my experience on cushy plastic saddles that are supposed to be "comfortable": 15 minutes is all I can do before they turn unbearable. I think your Brooks has hit
