[RBW] FS: 1984 Trek 660, 56cm
Maybe you're thinking it would be nice to have a zippier ride. You like steel and lugs, and have a thing for classic technology. Maybe you're considering the Roadeo, but are having trouble pulling the trigger because, well, it is a significant investment. Maybe then, you'd consider a complete classic road bike, with Brooks saddle, Grand Bois tires, Noodles, good ol' standard diameter Reynolds 531 steel, and a pretty sweet Campy Nuevo Record drivetrain. No need to baby it. It's already broken in, so just let 'er rip. And its red, which is a pretty fast color... http://chris-pondero.blogspot.com/2012/03/trek-660-needs-new-home.html If this is you, let's talk.

[RBW] Maxy Fasty as a commuter tire
Greetings. My aging 650b Fatty Rumpkins have suffered yet another puncture and I'm thinking of switching over to a pair of new Maxy Fasties that I purchased on a whim a year or so ago. I commute mostly on paved bike trail, but have to ride for about two miles on light gravel. My question is whether the Fasties will hold up to this kind of use or whether I should buy another set of Rumpkins (which have been great tires, overall), or whether there is a better commuter tire out there for my Bleriot. Many thanks, Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.

Re: [RBW] Re: Gearing question
Looks good to me! I tried something similar for a while with a 34/22. Front derailer setup was fiddly. There was a fine line between getting it to shift to the big ring and shifting off to the outside of the big ring. I ended up switching to manual front shifting, then removed the rear derailer to make a sweet 2x3 setup (3 usable gears).

[RBW] Re: Maxy Fasty as a commuter tire
I run Maxy Fasties on my Protobleriot in the summer and ran Nifty Swifties for several years on my Saluki. This past winterless winter, I put Soma Xpresses on the Proto. I've also used Col de Vies on the Saluki. My bikes do service primarily as commuters between St. Paul and Minneaplis with a 20-mile round-trip. About half the commute is on a side street that is in rough shape pot-hole and crack-wise, and then there's ice and crusty snow. Only the Col de Vie has given me a flat, but a slow one. Were I in your situation, and I was looking at Maxy Fasties, I'd give a good long look at the Nifty Swifties as the tougher version but still slim (33). I am also liking the Soma Xpresses which I got for winter because they have more tread, were recommended on this list-serve, and were the biggest tire (~38) that the proto could take with fenders.

The one thing that I find a challenge about my little bikes is clearance between the saddle and a rack/fender for a biggish saddle bag, lil loafer in back, or a wald basket. Mostly I've gotten it to work and Mark's Rack is a god-send for a custom fit in the back. I had a battle getting a new Tubus Airy (which I am really liking for a go-less-slow bike) to fit on the chain-stay upper braze-ons because they were narrow, and forget about a pletscher on the little guys (does anyone have a secret about mounting one on a 50 frame?). A Carradice Barley is a great traditional saddlebag for a low saddle that has good room for daily use. And I agree with Pam. It's so hard to find a great-fitting beautiful little bike that once you find one, it does become a forever bike. liesl the-bike-lingerer in minneapolis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Maxy Fasty as a commuter tire
My policy on tires is the following: Buy tires anytime you see tires that you can't resist buying, and put them in inventory. In other words, never 'shop' for tires when you need them, but always keep your eyes open for cool tires. When you need tires, always get them from internal inventory Experiment with everything in internal inventory. Swap tires around with abandon, anytime the urge hits. So, if you follow my stupid policy, then absolutely put on the Fasties and try them out. On Thursday, March 29, 2012 8:54:53 AM UTC-7, kevin lindsey wrote: Greetings.

Patrick: I dunno if you've achieved your goal ...to make the perfectly accessible into something more complicated, One has 12 different gears and the other 11; doesn't seem too meaningful a difference, as long as you've got the range you want. Assuming you'll use the same 36T 24T rings, and that they shift OK now, seems like a simplification if anything. Your proposed 9 speed looks nicely progressive. Heck, just stick on the 9 speed and ride it for a while before bothering messing with the crankset.

RE: [RBW] Re: Best rain cover for a Brooks?
Maybe UV even affects bars? From the next to last Blug: Nitto says any aluminum handlebar that's ten years old should be replaced. Aluminum degrades when it's exposed to the elements, and soyou also might not want to ride your twenty-five year old French handlebars that were made when there were mild standards if any to pass. The same for 20-year old Cinelli drop bars. It all depends.

That's a good point, Jim. I'm not sure many people consider the amount of UV a bike that is used for daily transportation gets. I know I don't, or didn't, until now. If you lock your bike up outside a lot (perhaps less an issue for Riv owners) not only the saddle, but the tires, bar tape, brake hoods and cable housings get a pretty good UV bath. Fenders help the tires a bit, I guess. I'm sure UV is no good for leather, so any cover would help some. I use my aardvark cover for theft deterrence and rain defense. Guess I'm getting UV defense too in the bargain. -Pete in CT On Tuesday, March 27, 2012 1:15:50 PM UTC-4, Jim wrote: Do any of these covers provide UV protection? Is UV an issue for a leather saddle?, i think it would be, it is for car interiors. We are at 5600 feet here, and the sun blazes just about every day in the summer.

Re: [RBW] SF Randonneurs Populaire this Saturday
Hi Manny. If you are used to doing 40-mile-plus-type rides, then you have nothing to worry about. Just wear what you normally wear and ride like you normally ride. Eat what you normally eat. To add on to Esteban's advice, also bring a plastic sandwich bag to hold your brevet card, receipts, and the pen. It keeps them together and it'll help with the forecasted rains :) Have fun!
