[RBW] Cable pull modification hack for 9S shifter/cassette, 10S clutch derailleur (SRAM GX)

More corrections: measured with calipers and my estimates were not great for the size of the added metal piece: 25mm long. Could probably be 20mm long and work equally well. 1.8mm wide 0.8mm thick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Re: [RBW] Recommendations/WTB: smallish saddlebag

I really enjoy my Carradice Junior, I think the size is just right for a lock, sweatshirt and tube/tools. I give it big points for not being made out of dinosaurs, and I've found that ordering directly from Carradice the price is actually pretty reasonable. They subtract the VAT for orders to

Re: [RBW] Recommendations/WTB: smallish saddlebag

I’ve been far down the saddle bag rabbit hole and have settled on the Acorn Medium Saddle Bag as the favorite for my needs. It has plenty of space with an expandable collar and drawstring, D rings for lashing a wet rain jacket or other items, exterior zipper pockets, and an internal dowel for

[RBW] Needing front rack advice

I just put a Pelago front rack on my older Stumpjumper and I’m very impressed. I wasn’t familiar with the brand beforehand. It has three options for “feet” at the bottom which solved my issue of only having rear braze ons, and several options for the top allowing you to fiddle with height and

Late night post corrections: 1. Turkey Vulture Supreme, not Ultimate. 2. Probably zinc, not copper. 3. Tanpan is the other cable pull modifier maker. Very much looking form suggestions to improve this. Different material? JB welding in place enough to make reliable? The rest of the bike

Re: [RBW] RBW Business Model

Patrick I'm confused about your 'planning" discussion. Was the 60 C-C Liberatas the planning bike??I thought all Rivendellls used OS main tubes (they may be thin wall but still OS). Maybe the Liberatas was an exception, but thought it was similar to a Ramboiulet John Hawrylak Woodstown

Good work. APPROVE. In 2020, 3D printing is totally dialed. Somebody with the time and the CAD station could build a 3D model of an accessory piece that would snap onto a Silver shifter, increasing the cable pull. Post that model on Shapeways.com and anybody in the world could click and

Re: [RBW] RBW Business Model

I meant that while I cannot say I've experienced what Jan calls "planing," I have experienced bikes that make me (consistently, over extended periods of ridership) make me want to use a smaller cog, and those that seem at least on occasion to "hold you back" -- feel sluggish in certain conditions,

Hello Jason. Actually the frame came 27.2. Is that not normal? I bought it used, however so it is possible someone else did it!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

Hi all — I have a large and bc my body is what it is, it fits me but it is not my cup of tea. I would sell my large if anyone wanted it — it is a great sweater but just doesn’t fit me (I definitely got a vest though!) Currently on vacation for a week in Vermont so just email me and I will ship

[RBW] Re: Cable pull modification hack for 9S shifter/cassette, 10S clutch derailleur (SRAM GX)

Took a quick spin tonight: it works a dream, could be a tiny fraction thicker but as is it leaves a meaningful amount of extra lever movement range before it’s stopped by the limit screws at the derailer. It could move the derailer another 5mm plus for top or bottom gear (enough to shift off

[RBW] Re: RBW Business Model

I'll point out another flaw in the RBW business model. Grant has inspired the creation of many, many bike designs brought out by other manufacturers, for which he has received little credit and no monetary compensation. I am evidence of this as I've never owned a Rivendell, though I have

I've been using the Swift Bandito for ~5 years now. Very happy with it. Holds my repair kit and Kryptonie Fahgettaboutit with some room to spare. The thing I like about the Swift Bandito vs the similar size Roadrunner bag is that on the bandito, the buckles for the straps go inside the bag,

They are indeed! I love pictures of such landscapes; ancestors came from Ireland and, being Scots Irish, before that from Scotland, so perhaps there's a blood-affinity. I'd probably have committed suicide if I had lived in such places -- I'm safer where the glaring sun shines and the horizons
