[RBW] Gus owners, does your RD/shifter cable rub against kickstand bracket?
Gus owners, When doing a trial run of my RD/shifter cable from the BB cable guide to chain stay housing stop, it contacts underside of the kickstand bracket. Not proper in my mind. If you have same situation, how are you going to correct it, or just leave it? What say you?

[RBW] WTB: seatpost Nitto S83 26.8 300mm
If anyone has a Nitto S83 in 26.8 x 300mm in good to better condition, please message me off list. Or if someone has a lead as to where to purchase one new, that'd be great, too. I've tried a number of different vendors but all were out of stock. Thanks, Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] bottom bracket toubleshooting trivia
Hey, Bunch: Pinging the group's knowledge for input/feedback on an issue I'm having with an install of a new cartridge style BB in a new frame. I'm building a new Atlantis and Gus. I installed a new BB (Shimano XTR UN91) in Atlantis and torqued to spec. It's butterlicious smooth. Installed cranks and gave them a spin. It's what every man, woman, and child wants. I installed same BB (also new) in Gus and tightened to spec. When I turn the spindle by hand it is not smooth (definitely some resistance and a tad sticky) like the one I installed in Atlantis or an uninstalled one. Why is that? I checked it before install, and it was butter smooth. I uninstalled it from Gus, and it spins butter smooth. I reinstalled main body section to spec, and it is butter smooth, no change. When I install the opposing cup (Shimano calls it an adapter), at this point is when I begin to notice a notable change in spindle rotation smoothness. I've ensured proper shell widths. And I've ensured shell/cartridge faces are clean and blemish-free. Of note, opposing cup spins freely during install for about one third the way to full seat. From there it spins freely part of rotation and not freely otherwise. I can turn it by hand still using splined-tool, but there is definitely resistance during part of the rotation. After I can't go any further by hand, I fully seat with torque wrench. Could it be that the threads on either side of the shell are not exactly coplanar, since threads are not continuous from one side of shell to the other? It shouldn't be a shell facing issue, because the opposing cup doesn't interface with shell face. Confounding to me. There isn't much to installing a new cartridge style BB into a new frame...screw it in. That's the problem, in part. There's nothing to correct with install technique. I'd love to be wrong and get it butter smooth like one in my Atlantis, for example. Please, share your thoughts as to what the source of issue may be and recommended remedy!

[RBW] Is there a 31.8 clamp drop bar comparable to a Nitto Noodle 54cm?
Hey, all: I'm wanting to try a 54cm Nitto Noodle drop, but I want to keep my 31.8 Faceplater to facilitate cockpit changes. Anyone know of a comparable bar or solution? Maybe I should just get a Noodle and stem for change outs... Also, am I on the right track going with a Noodle (54cm cuz I'm tall)? I plan on using it as a cockpit option for my Atlantis build.

[RBW] Has anyone tried this type of brifter-like shifter/brake lever combo as cockpit option?
First off, I know they ain't pretty. But has anyone given these a go? Coming from the MTB world I've never run swept back bars (confession) and have always marveled at the different cockpit set-ups folks come-up with: shifters and brake levers here, there, and everywhere. MTBing junky stuff, I prefer my hands married to the grips and not searching for a shifter to bang a gear or a brake lever to shed some speed. What makes these intriguing is that they are kind of a Frankenstein brifter. The brake lever for braking, obviously, but also doubling as a shift lever, up or down shift. The Frankenstein bit is the below the bar integrated thumb-actuated shifter that on the right side down shifts (unless you rapid rise reverse like I do) when pushed. As typical, left side would up shift chain wheels. Part of why I find these intriguing from a set-up/build solution perspective is because I once had a pair of Campy brifters on a road bike and thought it was pretty handy being able to shift and brake with my hands not leaving drop hoods. How did I get here? I'm on standby for a Gus and have been pondering Albatross set-ups. For surfing city streets, gravel roads, or even trail-bombing, it seems like these would be a nifty solution to all controls being in a tiny package easily accessed from most used hand position. Please, chime in on these and why you run the shifter/brake lever set-up you do: here, there, or everywhere...
