Hi all, I'm the one who bought the LA Craigslisted Quickbeam from cool dude John in San Pedro recently. Aside from a pretty handbuilt bicycle collection, John has a huge record collection; he's also quite nice. Anyhow, I'm still dialing it in, but thought I'd share my new to me QB. Basic

Whelp, a super thin, maybe 1 or 2mm washer I dug out of the ol' washer bin and set between the derailer and hanger did the trick as Bill explained. So very thin, but now I have a smooth full range over the 9 speed 11-32. Slides into the 11 tooth easily. Still enough thread engaged, too. Thanks

[RBW] WTB/source for: 700c 1"threaded fork

Hi Bunch! Found a decent (and free!) triple butted steel frame (85 Univega Maxima Sport Mixte) to start a commuter I'm building for a friend. Trouble is, no fork. Looking for a used steel fork or recommendations for a new one. - 1" threaded - Any color, but black preferred. -

[RBW] Re: WTB/source for: 700c 1"threaded fork

Thanks for your advice everyone! Paul, I appreciate all of those weight comparisons! Weight is indeed relative. This perspective helps. Pete, the frame looks true, I've checked and keep checking obsessively, but you're absolutely right about that possibility. Looks like the linked option

[RBW] Re: WTB quickbeam or simple one

I'd recommend you choose a QB over a CC, given you had access to both and you knew you didn't want the option to add gears. But CC is not a terrible choice if that is what is available to you, but I wouldn't compare the two (I owned both as my primary 2 bikes for 5 or so years; still have the

[RBW] help with rear derailer

Hi Bunch, Hoping you could help me work through throuble-shooting a friction shifting issue on a rear derailer. I have a feeling it's actually a much simpler issue than I think, and that I may already know the problem. But looking for advice anyhow. PROBLEM: -- rear derailer won't shift into

[RBW] WTB: mixte/step-through frame+fork or partial, for friend (also, wheelset?)

Hello Bunch! On the hunt for a frame+fork/partial/complete to build up a commuter/fun bike for a friend. They're largely afraid of cycling, but we recently did a gentle 8-mile-each-way ride to the beach out on Long Island and they absolutely loved it, all of it, except for the bike, and I

[RBW] small bike frame help & recommendations / (WTB)

Hey Bunch, I rebuilt a 19"/48cm 1987 Trek 330 Elance for my partner with 650b wheels and albatrosses. I thought it would fit but it's too big for her. In retrospect, I actually just *wanted* the frame to fit because I liked it so much, and thought I could make it work. It doesn't. She could

I wouldn't recommend it and I only did it to see if it would fit - *but* - I once recently mounted 27.5 x 2.1 Thunderburts under my Minimotos and the straddle cable did not rub. There was a cm of clearance, maybe. Patch BK/NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

[RBW] experience with Dia Compe 980s + tires wider than 45mm

Hi Bunch, Does anyone have experience with Dia Compe 980s + tires wider than 45mm ? Do you reckon I would have to deflate a tire that measures 49mm to fit through? I actually don't know the post spacing on the frame in question and realize that may be a contributing factor. I'll measure when
