[RBW] Re: shorts with a fly?
I have a pair of Zoic Shorts, IIRC that do have a fly and removable liner. So the answer to your question is yes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Considering new pedals
My 2 cents here is the Tioga Spyders are close in shape to the Grip Kings but have the spikes already installed. I use them on my singlespeed. More preferable, for me, are BMX pedals with a nice wide footbed and plenty of grip. On Jun 1, 11:23 pm, Mike S mikeshalj...@gmail.com wrote: Grip King's all the way baby! Size 13-14 here and I can't imagine a pedal more comfortable than this. A few cap screws on the edges solve the 'slippery when wet' problem. The dust caps are lame, but everything else about them is splendiforous. Tree Fort Bikes has them on sale for $38 + s/h (under the name 'Lambda').

The entry/exit are very easy if you're wearing shoes with a fairly smooth sole. The G 9 is not as comfortable or secure unless you use toe clips and straps - then why bother? Get the touring pedals. I discontinued using SPD pedals for much the same reason that you are confronting.

I have recommended them to many people and everybody who wanted an easy on and easy on the knees pedal loved them. Gradually all my bikes got them. But now I am developing a cronic hot spot on the ball of my foot and suspect that always using the same pedal might be a contributor, so have decided to go for some variety. I have an old pair of useable Campy rat traps but like the idea of the wider MKS body on their touring pedal But I see they also make a platform pedal, the GR 9. I will probably ride these with sneakers or Keen Sandals, and large toe clips. I have a large, size 13, foot. Has anyone used both of these? What was your experience?

[RBW] Re: SHOES!
I have a pair of Axo (?, can't tell for sure from the logo) that I bought at a bike swap meet for $10 with stiff soles and no provision for SPD. They look like skate shoes but are perhaps the best bike shoes I've found yet. I had to cut off nearly a foot of lace from each shoe and re-tip them with heat shrink tubing to make them just right. Also, I have a pair of Montrail trail runners that were too stiff for running but work nicely for cycling. They have a flap that goes over the laces and zips shut and snaps down, keeping the laces away from the chainring. They came with gaiters for the really cold days. In the summer, I wear a pair of North Face sandals. Jeff in KC On Nov 14, 8:01 pm, Jim Cloud cloud...@aol.com wrote: +1 on the Sidi Touring shoes that Rivendell once sold. The last for this shoe fits me very well (it is a 47 size), and I'm very happy with them.

What kind of shoes do you all ride with??? (I've recently changed my perspective on shoes.) Since owning my Bombadil I've virtually ceased using my SPD shoes. My pedals are Nashbar Rodeo 2 pedals, which have SPD bindings on one side, platform on the other... Instead I ride my favorite, most comfortable shoes, Ecco Country Walkers... I never would have previously considered riding in my street shoes, which I now realize is totally absurd. Riding with these shoes puts a smile on my face. Best of all, when I arrive (wherever it is I arrive at), I'm wearing my favorite shoes. BB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Top Ten Names for the next Rivendell Bike
Rocinante, or Rose, was the name of Dervla Murphy's bike in Full Tilt, IIRC. Dervla would also be a great bike name and a suitable honor.
