I don't know your taste but have you considered a Profile H2O 90 degree quill stem, I see some on ebay in silver/90mm/25.4 frequently. There's always no-name ones that look the same too. The print on the H2O's can be removed with some Brasso and a cotton rag. From the side it looks a little larger, but while riding it looks like any other stem. I've used stems like this for years, and really like the 90 degree angle too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: SKS fender sizing (and 650b fit)
HI Erik, my CldVs measure 36, so should fit the hammered ones fine. But I'm really looking at the 58mm fluted ones on sale for $35. Just thinking the tires would end up looking relatively awkward underneath them, but maybe that's ok for the price! Some 50mm Honjos would be just perfect, but I can't justify those for this bike (doesn't need any, never sees water, just for looks, garage queen status, etc).

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe 650b Fatty
For the price these tires are great. Once you get them going on pavement the bumps almost dissapear. I do a loop that consist of the road north county trail in westchester ny to the old croton aquaduct which is dirt. I don't change the tire pressure. I'm a little cautious when cornering on dirt at full volume. Make sure they are seated properly before riding. Inflate them slow and check. What size is your Bleriot? I would also use 26x1.9/2.125 tubes. The 650b tubes are two small for this tire. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

He may not have gotten back because I emailed him pretty quickly. I had a plum 94 XO-3 and I am sad that i got rid of it. I sold it to someone on this board though. (I can't remember who). The great thing about those is that they are essentially just an affordable version of the 93 XO-1. The geometry and frame are the same just slightly more affordable tube material. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1994 MB-1
I bought a plum '94 when Bridgestone closed..stolen a few years later. You wouldn't *believe* how few of these are still out there. The XO-1 may be more valuable/collectible, but the '94 lower-cost XO-3 billed as its replacement is *rare.* I know the catalogue says a production run of 1000 or so, but I highly doubt that many were made the final year. My new bike is coming with some nice Suntour XC Pro parts, and I'm going to appropriately Rivendellize it with Sackville bags and a Brooks saddle when it arrives (gratuitous Rivendell content, check). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Schwalbe 650b Fatty
It might be good for the rez; do post some photos. But MAN, 900 grams for a tiny, 584 bsd and skinny, hard 45 mm wide??? My 60 mm wide, wire bead, 622 bsd Big Apples were no heavier (they were replaced by Liteskins which are the same but with kevlar beads and weigh only 800 gr) and they are probably as thorn resistant as any tire out there -- they stop 75% of goatheads, even.

Re: [RBW] Schwalbe 650b Fatty
Will those fatties fit on the Bleriot? The Riv chart shows a max of 41mm in tire width. The Riv site says they will fit on their bikes but the geo. chart is in conflict with that.

Re: [RBW] Swift Industries Bags
I have a set of the mini short-stack panniers. I really like them. Very well made and easy to use. I use at least one bag every work day to commute, rain or shine. My stuff inside the bag has never gotten wet. I ordered my bags made with the waxed cotton. Also, I really use the zippered top pouch and the side pouch a lot. I highly recommend them. I realize that the mini's are designed to be used on a front rack, but I use them on rear racks. There's plenty of volume, and the lid extends for over-loads.

[RBW] A kit for one week.
So I was getting my gear together for next week's touring/bike camping extravaganza. The forecast is good so it's looking like we'll head up through Gifford Pinchot Wilderness to Mt Rainer National Park. We're just gonna take it a day at a time and see where we wind up. When we toured two years ago we averaged something like 80 miles a day. Long days in the saddle and short nights at camp. I'm still undecided about whether I'm gonna use big panniers and carry all my load in the rear or use two small panniers up front and a stuff sack on the rear rack. I'm leaning towards the large panniers in the rear. I'll also be using a Ortlieb HB bag. I'm about 90% sure I'll just use platform pedals. Here's what I'll be taking minus some odds and ends like the tent poles and food. We managed well on the last tour just picking up each day's food along the way. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/5989013883/in/photostream My friend Dylan will be using a semi-cargo bike thing so he's got plenty of room for taking on any overflow. http://www.flickr.com/photos/huntercycles/5653595523/in/faves-41335973@N00/ I may even squeeze in a bike camping trip on Sunday night. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
