Re: [RBW] Tire Width and Performance

The biggest factor in tire performance for me *is* me. If I'm feeling good and well rested and it's a beautiful day, I'm fast on $5 worth of swap meet rubber. If I'm grinding out the drudgery after my third flat in the rain, no amount of supple and plush can ever feel fast enough. Jeff Hagedorn

[RBW] Re: Cable End Soldering

I'm pro-ferrule. I take great pride in the two spot-on perpendicular crimp marks of equal depth which divide the ferrule into perfect thirds. I often sacrifice two or three early and unsatisfying attempts to the landfill gods in the process. And yet I'll go an easy year plus without washing my b

[RBW] Re: Taller 26" Riders

5"11", roughly 86 PBH, my primary (only) functional bike at the moment being a 59cm '92 Bridgestone XO-1. I can't run tires bigger than just under 1.5" actual, and as currently shod in 1.25", the proportions are admittedly a little unsettling at first glance. I can't tell you how many people

[RBW] Let's imagine a Tallux with a removable faceplate.

I stand firm in my faith that in these troubled times, most if not all of the world's problems could be solved with a tall, lustrous Nitto stem featuring a removable faceplate. And by *most if not all of the world's problems*, I of course mean, "I'd desperately like to try out the Albastache, b
