[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

You might also want to consider wooden fenders. I bought a pair for my Hunq from Woody's (https://www.woodysfenders.com/) and he has plenty of experience fitting out Rivendell bikes with wide tires. His stuff looks great and appears to hold up very well. Best regards, Kevin Lindsey

[RBW] Re: FS: Last call on Willow Chainrings - $10/$15

Final bump on these. I put the wrong date in my original post, but I will go with what I originally put. Chainrings available at these prices until January 9. They'll be available on eBay only after then (revised into a single listing with all size options) but at different/higher prices.

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

[RBW] Re: Perplexities regarding flat tires

Leah asked if I’ve ever had a front blowout. Yes, but gladly in an easy to manage situation. I’ve had a tire develop a bulge during a fast descent, probably due to rim heat and that was scary. The one that is laser etched deep into my lizard brain is a front hub lockup. I had overhauled my

Re: [RBW] Re: Perplexities regarding flat tires

I had a blowout just before I was ready to arc at speed into a 90*, right hand turn at the bottom of a fast hill. A nanosecond later and I'd have gone down; as it was I managed to save myself from a fall. "There's a special providence that watches over fools and Americans." Seriously, thank God!

Re: [RBW] Re: Fellowship of the Rigs update: TIME & PLACE

Hey Justin, you might consider giving the friendly rangers at SPT a call. I’ve found them quite helpful in the past. They obviously know their park well, and if you ask about the relative merits of the different group sites I bet they’ll be happy to help. Reed On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 9:15 PM

Wow, Steve and Bill, bone-chilling tales. Alright, who else has had front flats/blowouts while riding? Am I allowed to change the direction of a thread like this? I suppose we’ll find out if a moderator steps in. I think these stories are useful - I didn’t know you aren’t supposed to brake in a

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

Hi Kurt, I'm looking to do just the same. I've had great success running 60-622 Big Apples mounted on Dyads, with SKS 65s, on my Bombadil as a commuter set up (for the jungles of Oakland and San Francisco). But I am now running 60-622 G-Ones on the wider Cliffhangers (tubeless! Uh oh...),

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

Peter: If you do try the Simworks fenders, please let us know how they work. I considered those, but decided "no" because I didn't want to pay $135 + shipping for fenders that stay on for a couple months a year, and because I got a steal on my SKS 65s.. But I'd still be curious about how they fit

[RBW] Bike tour around Idaho, ideas?

I recall how beautiful the ride from Kooskia, ID and then up along the Lochsa  and Clearwater Rivers to Lolo Pass and then down into Missoula, MT. on Highway 12. Of course there is plenty of climbing but the remarkable beauty was worth it. This was just a part of a couple months tour

[RBW] Re: Perplexities regarding flat tires

Thanks, all. I still can’t understand how it happened - the kids would never touch it (they don’t care about anything other than the bike actually WORKING) and I didn’t leave it out of sight where someone else could mess with it. I don’t remember the last time I filled it, but the back tire

Madrone: warm showers (mostly), plumbing, large area, lots of slant, but fine places to lay a tent. I'm not sure if hammocks are allowed, but if so, there would be plenty of places to hang them. That's one of the questions I'd ask the rangers. Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Friday, January 4,

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

Wide tires through up a lot of mjud and debris. The bigger the knobbies, the greater the volume flung. Fender coverage, to be effective at protecting the drivetrain, has to be near 100%, as even 10-20% of the spray getting through to the drive train will still rapidly coat it (and your legs). I

Re: [RBW] Re: Questions about snow riding

Got it; thanks. Meanwhile I'm going to avoid the bosque roads and trails until the snow melts; too bad, but the crud buildup was just too much even on this short ride. Have talked to my brother about a (real) beater 26er mtb to build up as the occasional use snow bike. Too bad, because I do enjoy

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

I put Woody's Fenders on my Hunqapillar. https://www.woodysfenders.com/default.asp I think you can contact Cody of Woody's Fenders and ask him to make wider fenders than listed on website. Pictures of my Hunqa with 2.25-inch tires and fenders:

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

I've cobbled additional coverage to augment the abbreviated "moto style" mtb fenders: cut sections of old PB fenders and zip tied to back of seat tube and to bottom of dt from about 2/3 of the way up to just below bb. The overall setup was hardly as good as full fender coverage, but certainly

I've used VO Zeppilen with 45mm Marathons, SKS Velo with a variety of tires. I'm happiest with the SKS P65 and Schwalbe Big Ben 50mm tires. That makes it a very versatile bike. Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Re: [RBW] Hunqapillar fender options

Another question about the Simworks fenders: Any idea if one can get longer-than-usual front stays? The reason is that I'd have to do some fancy bending to get the stay to clear the leftside disc caliper; the SKS stay was barely long enough to do this. Tx. *And* I see that Simworks offers very
