[RBW] Re: Lessons in Singlespeeding
I.never thought I would EVER ss ride. But I recently changed to DT shifters on my bike. Too lazy to frequently reach down and shift, I shift less than ever, learning to ride in easier/harder gears without blowing up my legs. I can now see how one could manage ss riding in hilly terrain. Mega-slow cadences, but with relaxed legs. Let the bike carry/coast you as much as poss. Don't think about speed. I might actually try single speed sometime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Up Your Vis Game
Good thinking! Nighttime visibility is extra important in rainy Portland because everyone's windshield is fogged up. I got a $12 light (USB rechargable!) for my hub that allows people to see me from the side. I commute on lots of side streets and this really helps. This is my first season trying it, so we'll see how long it lasts. So far so good though.

[RBW] FS/FT: Hub Area Rack & Hub Area Bags
(cross-posted to iBob) I'm in the process of trying to simplify my bike stable down to two bikes and associated racks and bags, which in this round of weeding has made my Hub Area Rack and Hub Area Bags surplus. The rack has been mounted on my Rosco Bubbe v.2 (which will soon find itself on the sale block) and has seen very few miles and nothing resembling abuse. I'm offering it for $135 shipped CONUS. The bags, olive fabric, have been mounted on the bike for about half of the few miles the bike has seen, though they do show some usage where I sewed a coffeeneuring patch on each flap and have since removed said patches. I also modified the bags by installing Ortleib mounting hardware on them because threading a strap and lashing and de-lashing the bags to the rack each time I want to use them, which was initially planned for daily commuting, was not tenable. The rails can easily be removed. I'm offering the bags for $115 shipped CONUS. Prices are negotiable and I will come up with some type of discount if you buy rack and bags together or if you're local to the DC metro area and we can meetup and avoid shipping. I'm interested in trading for bikepacking style bags, front, frame and saddle mounted if you have any of these in surplus.

[RBW] Silver Shifter 2 project revived
Interesting piece on the blug about the Silver Shifter 2 project coming back to life. Prototypes in house at RBWHQ, with photos. "It’ll work fine on the downtube and better (than ever, than original SILVER shifters) as a thumby or a bar-end shifter, because of the new shape, heavily influenced by the 1983 SunTour XC thumb shifter. Slight differences." IIRC, Grant had posted something a while back about this project fizzing out for unstated reasons, so it's good to see it coming back to life. I was pretty interested so looking forward to seeing the production version. These look to have much more character than the stand-by Shimano bar end on Paul thumbie mount. dougP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Pass Stormin’ n’ Scorchin’ Spectacular!
Aye, Craig and Ian, me first adult foray into fixed (and now just normal riding, how quickly things change to “normal”! Grin.) The trike I used to deliver “pizza” to my parents in the backyard was fixed, so not my first experience. Grin. Uh oh, Philip, did I inspire my way out of an old threaded fixed eccentric hub? Fantastic! Build it, ride it, love it! Grin. Rich, it’s funny, but it no longer feels like underbiking, especially with the knobbie Steilacoom tires. It’s now just biking. Grin. Oh, there’s been an adjustment period. And I’ve a lot to learn. I’ve a ways to go yet on rock and root pedal navigation in the various narrows. I’m settling in wonderfully to the long descents. Nearly twenty miles of mountain pass descending is a lot of backpedaling. Grin. Practice makes perfect, and I’m definately improving. I’m finding that the “spin out” point has a surprising way of holding itself in balance, perhaps because the pedals have to push the weight of my legs round? Lots of nuance, and the bike is an amazing teacher. Random comments over the last few days, from the trail and the Pikes Peak Highway, as there have been a very large number of comments compared to usual, though the Quickbeam doesn’t look any different. “You can bike this snow and ice?” “Now THAT’S climbing!” “You’re my hero! Boy. How often do you ride this? You’re my hero!” This last one from a robustly rotund man at the overlook on the Pikes Peak Highway, who rambled onto the road to meet me in his excitement. I laughed and suggested he may want to pick a higher benchmark. He wasn’t sure what to do with that, but kept pronouncing I was his hero as he ambled back to his car. I was laughing for the for the next several miles, which on that climb is about 30 minutes. Grin. That whole “you MUST use pedal retention to ride fixed!” law? Bunk. Doing just fine on spikey platforms. Feet haven’t flown off once. I’m guessing here, but I’m likely doing 180-200 pedal rotations per minute at the spinout. Climbing I’m as little as 30 in places, but that’s right on the edge of LCG is faster. Grin. All in all, I’m like a duck to water with fixed riding. It’s so intuitive and self evident. The comments I’ve seen about “you have to always be focused” “It’s intense” make no sense to me. That’s always the case. But I find fixed riding more engaged and contemplative and flowing. Delicious!

[RBW] Re: Ibex shutting down?!?!?!
Damn, a real shame. Their Shak Lite jersey is one of my favourite pieces of clothing, I never want to take that thing off. I looked back in my Ibex order receipts and saw that I paid $60 for that one sale a few years ago. I should have bought ten of them.

It's fun to get reflective!

[RBW] Re: Supple tires and rim fit trouble
There's a product Stan's No Tubes sells just for this problem as I've encountered this with setting up tubeless. Can't remember the name but a small bottle with applicator rubbed on the rim/tire and whatever the liquid really does help with getting the tire on. Take a look.
