[RBW] Re: Phase Two of an Atlantis build

[lungimsam]

Very cool!
What a beautiful rack. Neato bartape design!
I am surprised though that there is no strut to attack through the fork 
crown.
Fenders next? Looks like you can daruma fender right up flush against the 
fork crown as you have cantis on the bike for massive clearance!

It would be cool if RBW and Compass Cycles sent postcards like this to our 
homes each year:

To the person who is deeply loved and appreciated by the cyclist in the 
house.
123 A. Street
ABC State, USA 12345

...with a reminder that its time to stock up on gift certificates...

[RBW] Re: Your dream RBW wheel set build, please

[lungimsam]

PS - your choice of dyno hub is best selected by what features you want out 
of a hub, so the ones we recommend may not be best for you. I am sure Rich 
could let you know which hub would suit your needs best.

Some charge electronics better while riding, some make a wheel build 
stronger, some do other things better.

I'm hoping for a zero drag hub one day.

[RBW] Re: Your dream RBW wheel set build, please

[lungimsam]

If I bought a wheelset from RBW, I would ask for Grand Bois 650b rims - 
black label, laced to a SONdelux wide body hub for the front wheel. Spokes 
would be whatever Rich recommended.

My GB Hetre and GB Cyprus tires have aired up and bead set with practically 
no trouble on my Grand Bois 650b rims - black label.
With the GB black labels, I aired up to the sidewall's indicated max 
pressure on my Cyprus tires and if I remember correctly, they automatically 
set up right. They initially didn't at the first inflation to the lowest 
rated pressure, but did at max rated pressure, and stayed set when I aired 
down to ride them at 55psi, min. rated pressure.
The Hetres were just about right, but a little test ride got them set fine.
Both were with cloth rim tape.

I also have used Velocity Synergy rims, and they were more difficult to get 
the tire beads of Hetres to set on. Painful sidewall massaging involved to 
get the bead to set. Very frustrating.

For that reason I don't want to buy Synergys anymore.

Re: [RBW] Re: Friction shifting and pulleys again

Hmmm...interesting. If true, this could save me some hassle. Thanks for the 
tip, when I get my new bike, I'll definitely check before I start messing 
with the pulleys.

Re: [RBW] Your dream RBW wheel set build, please

[Jason Hartman]

Velocity a23, Hed Belgium, or H+son rims.
Son deluxe front hub, White Industries rear hub. Double butted spokes.
Maybe 15/16 on the front and nds rear. 14/15 on the drive side.  28 or 32
spokes on the front. 32 spokes on the rear.

Of course, this depends on your riding style.

[RBW] Your dream RBW wheel set build, please

[David]

Group, would you mind offering your most ideal road-ish riding wheel set 
built by Riv (Rich)?  This could be what you currently ride or would like 
to ride.  I'm in the process of putting ideas together for a set and I'd 
value your opinions.  

Parameters:  650b Hilsen.  8sp cassette.  Would prefer on the lighter, 
fast-ish road-riding side.  Load will be under 200 lbs.  Dynohub a moderate 
consideration.

Thanks, group.

[RBW] Maryland Paint Branch and Savage Mill Trail Ride report with pics.

[lungimsam]

It is a fun ride for sure.
Lake Elkhorrn has a path that also hooks up with the Long Reach path system 
that will take you to Jackson Pond in Long Reach, Columbia.

For longer, wide MUP systems in the area, check out the Catonsville Grist Mill 
Trail to BWI Trail to B &A trail which takes you from Catonsville all the way 
to Annapolis.

[RBW] Re: Issue with Phil cassette hub

[David]

There doesn't appear to be any digging into the the body, no.  It's just a 
really, unusually snug fit, like obnoxiously snug... like the maker didn't 
machine it to spec.

At any rate, thanks Bill and Tim.

One thing to note - recent xt model derailers (at least mine) no longer have
