+1. That's the only thing I think I'd change about my QB From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Philip Williamson Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 3:35 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: Why no more Quickbeam/ SimpleOne?
How would you adjust chain tension? Eccentric BB? White Industries Eccentric ENO hub? I'd vote for the BB, to let people run any wheels they want or have.

If it had fenders, it would likely have correct or close to correct fender line. As such it would be impossible to remove the rear wheel either rearward with track-like dropouts or forward with horizontal road type dropouts. So, if it were me, I would simply run a good, MUSA rear hub that is bolted on with bolts, not nutted on with nuts. The offering from Phil and Paul and White Industries and Chris King all have these allen bolts. Remove the two allen bolts entirely and the wheel drops out of the drop out. No more problem. You can have perfect fender line, and can remove your rear wheel without deflating it. It will add between 30 and 60 seconds to the total amount of time it takes to fix your flat.

I had SKS fenders with the QRs on the rear as well as the fork. To change the wheel, I just popped the rear stays out of the quick releases to free up the fenders.

Of course, there are always trade-offs - such fenders aren't as functional as a good plastic or metal curved fender, but in non-downpours, and with a mudflap, they're not bad. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
