Re: [RBW] Club Rides On A Racing Platypus

I have the same tires on my Sam and sprung a leak after running over some glass which is all over the place here in Los Angeles. After getting a good sealant spraying I promptly covered the hole with my finger to stop any more air from leaking out. To my surprise it sealed right up enough to

Ooh, you invoked the flat* jinx after another person's flat. That one landed fast!  Yes, men love to stop and help fix flats. Once a many years ago I was on a century ride and there was a group of women at a rest stop crowded around a mountain bike, staring forlornly at a very flat front

[RBW] What's your biggest tire on AH Hilsen?

Since its arrival in 2011, my Hilsen has had s many personalities in the way of bars, stems, saddles, shifters, racks and tires. Oh, and bags...lots and lots of bags! Great to have bikes with such flexibility... Latest idea is to make it more rail trail-specific, requiring the largest tire

Re: [RBW] 26” to 650c on Rambouillet

There are a surprising number of usable 26" road tires, starting with the perennial Paselas and Kojaks. But Rene Herse has the ineffably nice 28 mm (labeled 32) Elk Pass, truly one of the nicest tires I've ever ridden. The 42 mm Naches Pass is probably too wide for that bike. On Wed, Jun 15, 2022

Yes, I should have been more clear - the bars just caught my eye, and your setup is new to me. It looks nice! I was surprised to read that you've found it difficult to get 26" road tires, since that wheel size is so universal. But I checked it out and you're right that all of the 26" road

Seeing if there’s any interest out there. I have a pair of Rich-built 650B wheels—Synergy rims on Phil Wood hubs (rear is 135mm spacing, but can be pretty easily changed to 130mm). Strong and true and in great condition. Accepts a 9-speed cassette (which I will include). I’m looking for a nice

Re: [RBW] 26” to 650c on Rambouillet

Alas, the selection of tires available for the 650C size was miniscule in 2015, and may be less than miniscule now, and those available were mostly 23 mm models, tho' I think Terry made a rather heavy 28 mm model. Tho' the selection of good road-capable 559 tires is small, it's a heckofalot bigger

Hello! I missed out on the recent presale of the Atlantis and figured I'd reach out to see if there are any leads or folks here that have one they are willing to sell. I'm open to any year, preferably a frame/fork only but might consider a complete. I'm in Nebraska... Thanks for your help!

Re: [RBW] Searching for bike akin to Quickbeam

I'm currently working on a 1983 Trek 640 fixed 650b conversion. I'm using the Crust Spark fork and Velocity Atlas rims, and 42mm Paselas. I had the Quickbeam in mind with this build, but the low trail fork kinda makes it not-Quickbeam-ish, but the canti bosses and rock mounts adds Riv-ish

John, I'm running Wavie bars on my Atlantis and really like them. I'm also a mountain biker and maybe I'm just used to the wider bars and the feel of them. I'm running silver thumbies and it works great. Definitely room for a handlebar bag. I'm using them with the Jim stem, 80mm. Works great

I have an almost brand new large Saddle Sack. This is likely from the 3rd run. I bought two at the same time to safeguard against the future, but my first one from 2011 is still my main commuter bag and I honestly don't see it ever falling apart (though it looks really beat), so I am selling

The geo chart is from that time as it includes the Betty Foy and at that time both the Bombadil and Hunqapillar were active models. Sizing is based on what a rider knows about themselves. not what a subjective chart presumes to know about them. -- You received this message because you
