Nice bike!  And what a great photo...out on your bike, packed and prepared, 
not letting a little mud stop you from a good time.
Way to go, #RivSister!

[RBW] Re: ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

[Roberta]

I have the takeoffs from my 2016 Joe Appaloosa from when I decided to go 
tubeless.   They are 135 spacing.  36 hole. From what Joe Bernard tells me, 
they are like these but available:   
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/wheels/products/velocity-made-shimano-alex-wheelset-650b-x-32h-135
   
.  PM me and I can send you the pics I took (they are still on my 
phone).$200+shipping.  And, of course, I'm on the east coast.

About 2700 non hard braking miles (I am not a rough rider no go down many 
hills).   Rims are in great shape.  Every other spoke nipple is a different 
color--blue, green, purple.

David, you SHOULD get a Platy.

[RBW] Re: Moving shift levers from downtube to stem

[Joe Bernard]

Yeah you got troubles. The stem mount is designed for Silver1 (or Suntour 
Sprint) dt levers, and Shimano 105, 600, Dura-Ace, et al, might work too. 
Silver2 is a tougher call because they have a larger barrel than Silver1, 
your best bet is to stick with the originals me-thinks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for 44-46 mm 700c all rounder tires, must roll well on pavement?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks, David; at least the ORs are the right width. And as for your
delayed test ride, I'll probably procrastinate doing anything about this
bike, since I'm having too much fun on the Monocog (and the other Matthews).

[RBW] Re: ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

[Fullylugged]

Tough to beat that price for a useful wheel set. I just had a lighter set 
built at Universal Cycles with 32 hole A23 rims and 105 hubs for double 
that, and I thought that was still decent for nice wheels.

It may be awhile Patrick.  I plan on building up a Surly Disc Trucker, 
using the Quill rims and Oricle Ridge tires, but the due date for the frame 
sets keep getting pushed back, now sometime in May, though that subject to 
change.  But, I do have the wheels built and tires mounted.  So the 46mm I 
mentioned is the mounted width inflated to 30 psi.

I do believe that the wider the rim, the wider the mounted tire width would 
be.

[RBW] Re: ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

[Brendan Willard in SF]

ISO: Correct, 100/135 for a Clem. 32 or 36 would be fine. Preferably wide 
rims.

Mine:
LX to Synergy are 32h
deore/DH-3n72 to DYAD are 36h
Rich build, so I'm guessing DT Swiss double-butted spokes (silver) 14/15/14g

Hi Brendan,
Am I correct in assuming that we’re talking 135mm OLN rear in all cases?
Are yours 32 hole or 36?
Do you want 32 or 36?
What are the spoke types used in your wheel set(s)?

[RBW] ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

[Brendan Willard in SF]

In the tradition of always having the wrong wheelsets around, I ask you all 
to forgive me for failing to notice that I would need a 650b wheelset when 
moving from a 59 clem to a 52.  Possible trade for one of my 700c wheelsets 
(rich built, deore xt/lx/velocity variety).  

Didn't I just have several 650b wheelsets??  I did.  Yes.

Brendan in SF, who has 3 wheelsets for one frame, no wheelsets for another, 
and a wheelset that doesn't fit any of his frames.

Re: [RBW] What is the seller's safety with PayPal and other payments.

[Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)]

I've had several successful bikes and parts buys-and-sells on Craigslist 
(and here!) and typically use Paypal, Venmo, or cash. But definitely 
beware. Someone in NYC recently was selling a Crust Romanceur complete bike 
and had it stolen by a prospective buyer who took it for a "test ride" and 
never came back. I've also heard of companies being on the hook for 
thousands of dollars in merchandise after selling via PayPal and the buyer 
claiming fraud.

Re: [RBW] Has anyone shellacked cushioned Newbaum's?

[brendonoid]

Many years ago I did this and it worked fine. Can't easily access a photo 
for you. 
The shellacking doesn't stay that super hard sandpapery feel as long but 
the colour holds and it still maintains its protective abilities.
