Re: [RBW] A College Clem

[Leah Peterson]

Ryan, interestingly, his internship is in Portland, so I have HIGH HOPES he will still be deep in bike culture! I ordered his bike rack yesterday!

It may be that the paint took a beating, but it sure tells a story. Most of the damage seemed to occur to consumables...tires, chains...etc. A bike that's loved...but not to death I'll be interested to hear how having a car changes his relationship to his Clem....but I suspect he won't abandon it entirely On Friday, March 6, 2026 at 9:14:23 PM UTC-6 Jason Fuller wrote: On the tangent topic of low-maintenance builds:  my Raleigh Twenty is built with Sturmey Archer hubs: drum brake, dynamo, 5spd internally geared. I have daydreamed about building a Roaduno with these hubs. They are utterly weatherproof and super low maintenance. I find a single speed chain can get away with very sparse lubrication vs a geared chain.  But realistically my Twenty is already perfected in this regard: in addition to this hub set, it's got full coverage fenders, Schwalbe GT365 all-weather tires, and an Albatross bar. It has a Chris King headset and Phil Wood BB, so those are both as sealed from the elements as they can be.  It could live outside and still last for years, but it lives in my building's bike room.  -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
