Re: [RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

One other bit of info on tandem tires. You will burn thru them faster than you expect. We use 120psi on our roadie and only get about 800 miles out of a rear, often the issue is sidewall tesr but ask your stoker what they think of s pothole blowout. After a few cycles we went with the front

[RBW] Re: Discs versus calipers

I am going to throw in one more factor into this discussion (or at least I did not notice it in previous posts). On occasion I ride with a very experienced (past national champion) nearing 80 years old. He said as he has aged his hand strength has weakened and he must brake sooner into

[RBW] Re: Houseless Sam Hillborne in Portland, Oregon

This reminds me of a funny story from about 15 years ago. A friend of mine was a researcher at UCLA. She lived in a large apartment building near the campus. At some point she noticed a nicer than campus bike locked on a stair handrail. Sat there for months (or so she thought). One day a note

[RBW] Re: Make me a baby Mtn. step-thru

my two cents (because that is all I have left having recently gone down this path). Rear seat fits for a much longer time than a stem mounted style. I found the Yepp the outstanding choice (having had a couple of both kids and seats). We used the seat tube mounted model, clamped like a vise,

[RBW] ENO eccentric rear hub

Hello, R and R on this wheel is the same as any bolted axle wheel, except you first have to untension the chain and tension after installation. Loosen axle bolts, use box wrench to move eccentric axle, chain will go slack, remove wheel from dropout. To install reverse the process. -- You

Hi. Josh (correct?) Ruben down here in So Cal. I just stopped day dreaming and searching locally for a Frosty lookalike and now I see yours is not going to work for you. Can you tell me center to center of seat post to stem? And Center of BB to top of seat post in photos? Thanks so much

[RBW] Re: Single Speed in/around LA?

Hey Matt that looks like a great ride. PCH to Latigo, where did you get across to Malibu Lake? Cornell to Las Vigenes open space I assume at the 101? Any other fire road after you get to Simi? Ruben On Monday, April 23, 2018 at 6:39:40 PM UTC-7, Matt wrote: > Reid—LA rider here who just did

[RBW] Re: Single Speed in/around LA?

Most (off road) riding in the greater Pasadena area is steep and rocky single track (10-20%) or long fire road climbs. (5-10%) throw in a little sun or heat and you will want gears. No one is going to bother (steal) your bike at the Huntington but if you use the bike to roll around the
