[RBW] Re: friction mode on silver shifters and shimano down tube dura ace shifters slip!
As you state this occurs under hard efforts, it could be that this is due to a "soft" frame and has nothing to do with the shifting setup.

No gravel (frankly i would have no interest riding on gravel). Very few sharp stones. Some roots. Hilly though. Typically 1,000 - 1,500 ft climbing per 10 miles. That goes along with moderately fast descends on dirt roads. When exactly the cuts and rips occur I cannot tell as I only inspect tires before or after rides. Only had one incident where the inner tube herniated through the side wall rip and burst, luckily the rear wheel. It happened on a downhill at roughly 35mph, but I do not know when the actual rip occurred. Rode them tubeless as well a bit. As an additional feature, it added the famed sealant thirst (SBH) to the cut and rip issues. They gobbled up orange sealant like not other tire every and it leaked through the porous side wall. While JH offered to exchange them and claimed it to be a rare occurrence, my discussions with other locals riders tell a different story. They are nice riding tires though which I stuck with them longer than I should have. I have moved on by now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Is this Compass tire usable?
I have used the park tool patch on 7 compass/rh tires so far. While it works, it also tells you something about the tires. Which reminds me, I have about 11 ripped unusable compass/rh tires in the shed - is there a reasonable way to recycle them? This year I have moved on to different tires. There is a new endurance version of compass now that may last longer.

[RBW] Re: Newbie here: Are Phil Wood hubs worth it.
If you are putting ten thousands of miles on the hub they may be worth it. In case you cycling where a hub problem would be catastrophic it would be worth it. If you mind repacking a shimano hub every year (or 10,000 miles) they are worth it. Shimano hubs are great. And for your intended purpose they are fine. Save money, go with an ultegra hub.

Re: [RBW] Re: Event ride on Saluki coming up, need advise
Agreed. Don't do anything new to your bike. Don't do anything new to yourself (food, liquids). Do what you always do. I ride 50 - 100 miles on a regular basis with 2 bottles of water and 2 bananas. Having said that, I ride mostly in the morning ~ 4:30am when it is not hot. Actually I just rode 50 this morning before work on the quickbeam. Breaking my rules, two water bottles only - we were out of bananas. Coffee and a bagel now.
