[RBW] Thin gripsters vs mks touring

Riding with tevas and the MKS touring pedals my feet have slipped off at times. Mostly on downhills when I tried to pedal at a high cadence sometimes due to terrain. Do the gripsters have better grip? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners

Re: [RBW] Tires/Wheels for new Sam Hillborne

I have a 56 Sam with 37mm Soma New Express tires under longboards, and there's plenty more room. If the Marathons are really 3mm fatter, I'd think it would be fine. -Eli On Aug 6, 2013, at 8:56 PM, Mark Taintor marktain...@gmail.com wrote: I have a new 56 cm Sam that's going to be built up in

[RBW] Re: SimpleOne Rohloff Conversion

Although we've cold set many steel bikes before, 120mm to 135mm is a pretty big jump. Fortunately, steel is quite malleable and forgiving as we all know. According to the mechanic who completed the cold setting, the process went quite smoothly. We made sure to check everything several times

[RBW] Tips for Bikepacking with a backpack?

I've used a timbuk2 backpack that has 2500 cubic inches of space. Volume will be his problem rather than weight. My backpack weight was about 15 pounds and I could barely close the thing because the sleeping bag and sleeping pad took up a lot of room, didn't carry a tent or cooking stuff. See

Different flavors are great. Trouble arises when someone thinks any flavor other than the ones they choose are crap and only fools would drink it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop
