[RBW] Re: Wanted: 650b Rear Wheel, or Advice on Which to Buy

With wheels, my philosophy is buy once, cry once. When I was in your situation I contacted Rich Lesnik and five years later, I know that was the right choice for me. On Saturday, September 23, 2017 at 2:17:02 AM UTC-5, Evan E. wrote: > > Do you have a silver, 32-spoke, 130-spaced 650b

[RBW] Wanted: 650b Rear Wheel, or Advice on Which to Buy

You seem to have a very good grasp on what could possibly go wrong with the eBay wheels which, as you said, are the "budget price" wheels. If you know how to stress relief and equalize tensions you may be able to get them reliably true. The Zac 19 rims are based on the Rigida Sphinx extrusion.

Do you have a silver, 32-spoke, 130-spaced 650b rear wheel sitting around forlorn? If so, I'd like to buy it or at least take a look (in person or in pictures) for my new-to-me Rambouillet. If not, I have a dilemma I'm sure you-all can help me with: 1. Invest in a proper rear wheel, built by

Oh, that's too bad. I LOVE mine and I'm wondering what you didn't like about them? I have the lighter casing and have set them up tubeless; dirt, street-they perform well. I had ThunderBurts before (which I also liked) but I "feel faster" on the RTP. On Friday, September 22, 2017 at 8:29:29 AM

[RBW] Appaloosa/Albastache Stem Question

I tried a moustache bar on my Joe and liked it. I replaced it because it was only about 50cm wide, and I wanted more width. Everything else I liked about the bar. I ran it so the hoods were about an inch above the saddle and the bar-ends were about an inch below. The Albastache has more width

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa/Albastache Stem Question

When I put my commuter bike together with an albastache bar, I found when I used it as intended, with road brake levers mounted on the curves, that I had to have the bars quite high relative to the seat or else I'd feel like I was going to take a nose dive over the bars while braking. I ended

[RBW] Appaloosa/Albastache Stem Question

If the frame fits you well then 7cm should be the right stem for drops or Albastache. Yes, you want them a good bit higher than saddle because the curves really get you out there over the front wheel. The distance is similar to riding the hoods on a dropbar, but you have to create the height of

[RBW] Appaloosa/Albastache Stem Question

I love the albastache bar and found that either the dirt drop or the technomic would get it up above the saddle by 1.5"-2" without difficulty (on a canti-Hillborne). I went with an 8cm technomic only because I personally liked the more classic road bike style.
