[RBW] wheel build suggestions
It would be a good idea to check the alignment of the rear triangle of the frame and dropouts. It's likey the wheel took the brunt of the impact and the frame is fine, but worth checking anyway. I was rear ended once at high speed. The rear wheel collapsed and I think acted as a crumple zone. Had to have the rear triangle realigned. Easy enough to check with the Sheldon Brown string method.

VO touring hub Sapim Race spokes Pacenti Brevet rims. All polished silver. VO hub is bearing serviceable with no tools. Get 8-speed spacer to run 8/9/10 on it as VO makes 135 only made for 11speed freehub now. VO will supply I think to wheel builder. Don’t be surprise if the insurance company pays for your parts replacement and friends medical bills. I got hit by a car a few years ago and the drivers insurance agent told me that a cyclelist is considered a pedestrian when hit by a car so it is always the car drivers fault. YMMV but may be $$$ coming your way. Or your friends way for medical bills too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

my atlantis was loaned to a friend who was going to do some work on it for me. a young womman on her cell phone hit him and the bike. he ended up on the hood. Michael is banged up, mostlyok but wont know for sure till osteo visit on the 20th. the bike seems mostly ok. Brooks is damaged, tape is damaged, rear wheel is wrecked. Am planning shop-based both wheel rebuild. Schmidt front hub. Rear hub i think is DX, ie shimano 105quality. is there a price/value upgrade hub i should buy? it will probably be out of my pocket I dont want White or Phil expense. LX.?IRD? Will keep Schmidt front hub. What about nice silver rims? I usually run 1.5” tires. But possible next owner may want wider tires?
