[RBW] Re: Drop Bombadil in the depths of the Old Forest

Man, that Bomba is cool, but that split rock is outtasight! The rock looks as though the tree roots envelop it. Next time you're by that place I'd like to see the bigger picture. What a special spot to ride an outstanding bike to. Cheers, John On Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 1:34:02 PM

Re: [RBW] Re: How do I know when a saddle fits?

Hey all, thanks so much for your insights! I'm local to Portland OR, and there is a bike fitter in town, Pedal PT, who also does physical therapy. I've been wondering if I should get a fit with them, and it seems like I should look into it more seriously. My travel/adventure/distance bike is a

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone else not a fan of the very long chainstays?

Eric D asked what model Treks. Good question, as I just walked in on the sout side of the store and exited on the north side. Well, went back to the LBS today after dental appointment. I was looking for 1) a chain checker tool, and 2) Purple Loctite #222. Fizzled out on both. The long

[RBW] The BEST bike film!

Have you seen Will's 8mm bike film ? Maybe it's because I spent a number of years wandering around Golden Gate, or it's shot in 8mm, or the colors are so lush, or wheelies, or mud stripes, or those first tracks on the lawn? Whatever. Perhaps because

[RBW] Re: Drop Bombadil in the depths of the Old Forest

Cheers, all! The stem is as short as they get - Crust BJ stem, which is 25mm length and doesn't even have an extension tube. I tend to prefer a shorter reach and even on the Hillborne I run a 5cm Tallux, despite the bike not being too large at all. I like how it keeps me from being too much

Looks great Jason. Also curious about the stem. And wondering what width tires under those fenders? Looks like you may have break-away fender tabs on there? John On Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 5:31:52 PM UTC-7 Jason Fuller wrote: > This bike is not new to most of you, but I wanted to share a

[RBW] Re: WTB 26" Front Wheel with Generator Hub

John, Since 2013, have bought from bike24.de, rose.de and bike-discount.de in Germany. All have been excellent. My last order was in 2020 from Rose Bike, when I couldn't find what I needed locally. Things have changed over the past 10 years or so. There are quite a number of restrictions by

[RBW] Re: How do I know when a saddle fits?

Hi Linda In my searches for a B67, at one point I accidentally bought one on eBay, not realizing it's a B67S. So, I was stuck with a woman's shaped B67. I tried deploying that saddle on a build for my wife, but she didn't like the build. That bike is sitting up at my cabin in the mountains

If I found a Yves in my size I would sell or trade my Sam. Being as that is doubtful I will continue to ride my bikes until I can no longer get my leg over the TT. Age has a way of humbling us. On Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 2:56:05 PM UTC-4 wpes...@gmail.com wrote: > I am 6’ tall with a 30”

[RBW] Re: How do I know when a saddle fits?

Hi Linda, I "temporarily" put my B67 on my Platypus and I think it's going to live there now. The springs make a squeaky noise, and I take this bike on club rides so sometimes it gets some comments, but I am so comfortable now I don't know that I need to "upgrade." There are ways to make the

Re: [RBW] Drop Bombadil in the depths of the Old Forest

One of my favorite Rivs on the internet! Looks right at home with the drops and ready for ruff stuff. How short of a stem did it take to get a comfortable reach? -Brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe
