Re: [RBW] Brake Adjustment: Paul Racers vs. Cantilevers

Re: [RBW] So many Rivs on the chopping block
I dont think anyone has said they need disc brakes to stop. Most people have bikes with both types of brakes. Its just something different and while not everyone will choose them, they do stop more quickly and easily. Is that a requirement? No. Will some people choose it? Yes. Will some people decide they dont need or want it? Yes. I have had bikes with disc brakes and as a mechanic have worked on many many, of all quality. I prefer rim brakes because I prefer to deal with their drawbacks than the drawbacks of disc brakes, of which there are a few, in my personal opinion. But its a strange all or nothing argument that pops up around this issue. I dont think that makes any sense -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Sounds like the way you were riding it. Does a bike exist that won't ever shimmy when someone rides no handed and leaning back?

[RBW] Re: Helpful resources for building a bike at home?
It's pretty common that new frames need to be chased and faced, bb and headtube. I would take it to a shop for that. It takes special tools and special knowledge, and is easy to ruin a frame if done incorrectly.
