Re: [RBW] Re: Albatross and Choco riders

Everyone's different! I like my Albatrosses tilted downward and my saddle just above the height of the bends. This gives me an upright position (for me, relatively) at the ends; a position at the bends that is very close to my drop-bar builds, good for efforts; and every spot in-between. I

Hi Bunch, Does anyone have experience with Dia Compe 980s + tires wider than 45mm ? Do you reckon I would have to deflate a tire that measures 49mm to fit through? I actually don't know the post spacing on the frame in question and realize that may be a contributing factor. I'll measure when

[RBW] Re: WTB/source for: 700c 1"threaded fork

Thanks for your advice everyone! Paul, I appreciate all of those weight comparisons! Weight is indeed relative. This perspective helps. Pete, the frame looks true, I've checked and keep checking obsessively, but you're absolutely right about that possibility. Looks like the linked option

[RBW] WTB/source for: 700c 1"threaded fork

Hi Bunch! Found a decent (and free!) triple butted steel frame (85 Univega Maxima Sport Mixte) to start a commuter I'm building for a friend. Trouble is, no fork. Looking for a used steel fork or recommendations for a new one. - 1" threaded - Any color, but black preferred. -

[RBW] WTB: mixte/step-through frame+fork or partial, for friend (also, wheelset?)

Hello Bunch! On the hunt for a frame+fork/partial/complete to build up a commuter/fun bike for a friend. They're largely afraid of cycling, but we recently did a gentle 8-mile-each-way ride to the beach out on Long Island and they absolutely loved it, all of it, except for the bike, and I

[RBW] Re: Paul Mini Moto brakes

I wouldn't recommend it and I only did it to see if it would fit - *but* - I once recently mounted 27.5 x 2.1 Thunderburts under my Minimotos and the straddle cable did not rub. There was a cm of clearance, maybe. Patch BK/NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

[RBW] small bike frame help & recommendations / (WTB)

Hey Bunch, I rebuilt a 19"/48cm 1987 Trek 330 Elance for my partner with 650b wheels and albatrosses. I thought it would fit but it's too big for her. In retrospect, I actually just *wanted* the frame to fit because I liked it so much, and thought I could make it work. It doesn't. She could

[RBW] Re: WTB quickbeam or simple one

I'd recommend you choose a QB over a CC, given you had access to both and you knew you didn't want the option to add gears. But CC is not a terrible choice if that is what is available to you, but I wouldn't compare the two (I owned both as my primary 2 bikes for 5 or so years; still have the

[RBW] Re: help with rear derailer

Whelp, a super thin, maybe 1 or 2mm washer I dug out of the ol' washer bin and set between the derailer and hanger did the trick as Bill explained. So very thin, but now I have a smooth full range over the 9 speed 11-32. Slides into the 11 tooth easily. Still enough thread engaged, too. Thanks

[RBW] help with rear derailer

Hi Bunch, Hoping you could help me work through throuble-shooting a friction shifting issue on a rear derailer. I have a feeling it's actually a much simpler issue than I think, and that I may already know the problem. But looking for advice anyhow. PROBLEM: -- rear derailer won't shift into

[RBW] Re: An Ent and Hurricane Ridge

Wally, Great Job! what size is your QB? Is the clearance generous or sketch? Everyone, do different sized QBs have different tire size clearance (mostly thinking of the fork) ? Thanks! Patch, who has ridden Cazaderos on their QB off-the-roads with possibly too much confidence, albeit with
