[RBW] Gravel King SK Nibs

My Sam Hillborne (not canti model) had previously installed Rene Herse Barlow Pass tires under Berthoud 50mm fenders. Clearances were great, and all worked very well. For winter riding, I recently installed Gravel King SK 38's, but now I'm getting a rubbing buzz sound from the tire "bibs"

[RBW] Fenders for Roadeo

Looking for thoughts on metal fenders for my Roadeo. I believe the max tire size for fenders on a Roadeo is 32 or 33's??? So presuming a 45mm fender width works? Ideally I would like to install metal fenders. I have Berthouds on my Sam, and they are solid, work well, and look great.

[RBW] Billie Bar Hooks

I recently converted my Sam from drops to Billie Bars. I do like the Billie Bars a lot, especially the multiple hand positions and upright posture they provide. I do find myself riding in the "hooks" more often than the swept back portion of the bar though. I wrapped the hooks with some cork

[RBW] New Handlebar Suggestions

I'm contemplating moving my Sam Hillborne from dropbar Noodles to some kind of upright/swept back handlebar, and to be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed by the various options. By way of background, all I have ever know are dropbar handlebars; but at 60, I'm thinking the sweptback/upright might

[RBW] What Berthoud Saddle is this??

I came across a used Gilles Berthoud saddle in my travels. It has titanium rails, so I assumed it is the "Aravis" model (same as Aspin but different rails. However it seemed narrow to me so I measured it and it comes out to 150mm wide; not the 157mm the the Aspin/Aravis are spec'd at.

[RBW] IRD Brake Lever Set Cafam-S vs. Paul Canti levers

I'm looking at the *IRD Brake Lever Set Cafam-S * for a conversion from drops to swept back bars. I originally was considering the Paul Canti levers, which get great reviews. Does anyone have any

[RBW] Paul Canti-lever alternatives

I'm planning to reconfigure my Sam Hillborne from drop bars to upright/flat/sweptback bars; so am looking for short pull brake lever options. I love the Paul Canti Levers, but they are a bit pricey. Looking for "affordable" suggestions for silver levers of similar quality to the Pauls.

I'm considering taking my Sam on some bike tours so looking into from lowrider rack for front panniers. I already have a rear Tubus rack, so would be wanting to utilize the low riders for additional panniers. Looking for suggestions for proven solutions that fit the same well. BTW, my Sam

Nice looking Roadeo! I thought the Roadeo maxed out at 33.3 width tires?? How did you manage to get 38's on there? Are the clearances really tight?? On Thursday, January 13, 2022 at 8:07:33 PM UTC-5 Gabriel Bruguier wrote: > Hello all, > > Up for sale is my 59cm Roadeo, built by

[RBW] Re: Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

Leah - I have two Delta Michangelo Gravity stands that go up against the wall. They work very well, and handle my Sam Hillborne on the upper bracket great. You would need three of them for all your bikes though
