[RBW] Re: WTB English Rain coat

I can vouch for Hilltrek quality through and through. After learning about them right here, and through recommendations from Deacon and others, I finally bit the bullet last year and ordered my first - a 2x Ventile Greenspot jacket. The quality is exceptional (fabric, sewing, etc.) but I

Update, correction, price drop. The following are still available: Correction: What I thought was Velo Orange seat bag is actually a Berthoud with Klik Fix saddle rail mount. Back, fairly lightly used, with a bit of dirt. $50 -- at this price it's a real bargain! Price drop: Rivendell

[RBW] Seasonal Bike Mods

Rain and snow season is starting here so it’s time for fenders. Mixed terrain rides are probably done for the season so I’ll put on file tread or slicks along with the fenders. Probably getting the thermos back out as well, since morning riding time temp approaches freezing. -- You

Geez. Check her shoe collection. I always joked that I was a “guy’s girlfriend” because I love anything on wheels, dislike cats, love dogs, have my own tools, don’t wear jewelry, and only about 10 pairs of shoes. And your Clem is a 64, so you’re tall. Sigh. -- You received this message

I collected the set, so it comes from a couple different sources, along with the ones I acquired myself. Before I knew there was an edition "zero," I had Grant sign the front of edition "one." My thinking was it would be super valuable and I would auction it off for charity. But that is silly,

[RBW] Re: Rough drive train issue

Sounds like chainline to me. Without seeing the bike in person and assuming everything was tightened correctly, my guess was going to be the chain was running rough. FYI I have also noticed some chains are louder than others; for example, KMC 9 speed chains are generally louder on Shimano

I'm an old guy and technologically challenged, so apologies if I'm doing this the wrong way. I wanted to add that the bike is yours for $1300. I have over $1700 into it, so I think that's a good deal. My loss, your gain. I just need to get rid of the bike to restore harmony in the

Re: [RBW] Re: Rough drive train issue

I am having this problem with one of my bikes with a few cogs on the cassette. I think it's a chainline issue that occurs with one of my rear wheels. I'll try applying a little more torque on the cassette lock and see if that helps (good tip from a previous poster). Toshi On Tue, Oct 1, 2019

Thank you for the recommendation, Yakeen. I’ll see if I have time when I have a break midday tomorrow. I’ll be almost all day by the Walton Lighthouse, if you want to come by to meet and see some beach calligraphy... and a nice Riv who loves the outdoors but really does not belong in the sand...

I, too, am having this issue. For me, it happened after going from an Ultegra 10-speed chain and cassette to a KMC chain and MicroShift cassette, both in 9-speed. However, the "grinding" sensation didn't happen immediately, but after about 150-200 miles (after the first chain re-lubing with
