Re: [RBW] Re: Hillibikes are so close!

[Erik]

Thank you!  My boy and I stopped by the shop today in Walnut Creek with the 
Gus in tow.  Will helped me troubleshoot a slipping seat post and he took 
it for a spin around the building.  We discussed the build and he asked to 
take photos.  That was a huge compliment!  I love how friendly and nice all 
of the staff are any time I stop by.  It makes me so happy to support their 
company.  

And the bikes aren't too bad, either.  I'll post up a ride report in a bit 
from my foray into the hills this evening.

[Ryan Frahm]

Hey Paul,
I have a Burley D’Lite single kid trailer. For quick release with hooded 
dropouts they sell an extension. I have been using thru axle setups with 
Robert Axle Project axles and they have worked great! I will report how 
this ends up working. Hopefully it works as well as expected!

 Ok, resurrecting this thread-


 I thought about this long and hard over the winter, such a great convo, 
 such great tidbits. But I realized I really wanted was a Rambouillet- Riv, 
 road oriented, cheaper than a new Roadini, so I decided to sit and wait. 
 Today, thanks to this group and the For Sale thread I found a 62cm Ram 
 90min from home and it's now MINE at an incredibly reasonable price. 
 Absolutely wonderful, solves my quest almost perfectly. I need to source

Wow, thank you for all the detail Erik! Some beautiful bikes there but 
that’s Susie and your new Gus definitely look best to me. I can understand 
choosing the Gus at that weight with a load but I am happy to hear it 
wasn’t too bad still. I’m 170-180 lbs depending on how much time I can get 
out. My full camp gear isn’t more than 30 lbs on a heavier trip.  We have a 
3 year old and I’m trying not to end up with a full on dad body! Haha. I am 
so excited for this bike! The new dropouts had me ordering a new extension 
hitch for my trailer. My daughter will be super bummed if it isn’t ready to 
roll right when I get it together! 

Sounds like a beautiful place to get to ride regularly! Enjoy the Gus and 
keep some ride pictures coming, beautiful bike!

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[Doug H.]

I am reviving this old post just to see if the Edelux light was the 
culprit? I am installing Dynamo on my Clem currently (Thanks Roberta for 
the B&M Taillight!). I ordered a B&M headlight so won't be using the Edelux 
but want to know about Leah's issue resolution.
Thanks,
Doug

 Generator hubs and LED lighting will do this to you. They are the hard 
 stuff, no gateway necessary.

 I'll be enjoying my SON dynamo and Luxos B/Pixeo lights riding to and 
 from work today, concentrating on being thankful for the gift of their 
 functions. They cleared my thoughts for my new bike which is a SON SL with 
 Edelux II and Compass tail light. I would be hard pressed to depart 
 from making my own light. Night riding, even when dictated by commuting to 
 work, is great!

Great looking build! Love all the Paul parts. Do you mind if I ask what 
your weight is that the Susie didn’t feel quite stout enough?
