Re: [RBW] Options for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies?

2023-11-13 Thread reca...@gmail.com
I use the MicroShift road thumb shifter mounts with the silver shifters. 

https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=106560

They are very nicely made, work great, and the pair comes in at less than 
$40.

[RBW] Re: Homer Hilsen: Braking performance

I also use them and find them to work nearly as well as the higher-end 
brakes I've had. I combine them with a good lever and use kool stop pads 
they work great. That being said, I have never used them with road-style 
levers.

 Those of you with Homers, how have you liked or disliked the brakes? Do

 thing I do like about caliper brakes are how easy they are to set up and 
 adjust. 
 Thanks for any input.

Re: [RBW] Re: PONCHOS!!!

2023-03-09 Thread reca...@gmail.com
I've used the waxed canvas Carradice poncho for a little while now. It 
works great and have been pleasantly surprised with how durable the waxing 
has been. The only downsides I see are that it's a bit heavy to carry 
around off the bike and the straps can be a little fussy to use. The only 
other thing that keeps me from recommending it to everyone is that if you 
ride upright bars like any of the Riv variants, the water will pool between 
the bars. Not a big deal but it happens as these seem to be designed more 
for drop bars? All minor niggles for me in the end as it works better than 
any rain jacket I've used.

[RBW] Re: Seat bag security

2021-05-26 Thread reca...@gmail.com
As Alan mentioned, stainless steel zip ties work great to secure bags and 
when I was living in Oakland (if I left anything on the bike unsecured 
there it would almost always get snagged), these came in very handy. I 
started using hiplock's ties recently as they are easy to take on and off 
but they are probably less secure than the stainless zip ties.

[RBW] Re: Shimano discontinuing rim-brake hubs?

2021-05-24 Thread reca...@gmail.com
Obviously you can run disc hubs with rim brake rims, but hub spacing would 
play a role depending on your rear hub spacing if running a disc hub. I 
wouldn't spread say a 130mm rear triangle to fit a 142mm hub. Hopefully, 
Shimano will provide interchangeable endcaps but I don't foresee a future 
where good rim brake hubs are not around.

[RBW] Re: Can an 11speed cassette fit on an 8-9-10 hub

2021-04-30 Thread reca...@gmail.com
I run this setup on my bikes and will work if your setup is as outlined by 
philipr. I use friction shiting also and it works fine with 11 speed. 

I run friction shifting out of mere convenience as it's plug and play and 
just easier to maintain, but it has definitely worked fine for me with an 
11-speed cassette. Even my old 7-speed era dura-ace friction shifters work 
really smoothly and nicely with my 11-speed. setups

[RBW] Susie/Wolbis Front-Center Question

2021-03-16 Thread reca...@gmail.com
Hello All,

Since I've been *very* slowly getting into DIY framebuilding over the past 
few years, and by way of it, trying to better understand why some 
geometries work for me and my kind of riding over others, I have come to 
appreciate the method of builders like Waltworks in terms of using 
front-center as a guide for putting together a frame geometry with relation 
to getting the rider's weight distribution the way they want it (i.e. 
getting the bike to ride and fit the way one wants).

A corollary to this is that a builder might then use, like Waltworks the 
following method (paraphrased):


   1. pick the trail you want
   2. pick where you want your wheels to be
   3. pick BB height
   4. make sure the person can then fit the bike in the desired position(s) 
   through HT length, stem, bars, etc.

So my long-winded question is, with Grant's emphasis on getting more 
upright and weight to the back while making the chainstays longer to 
accommodate this, what might be the corresponding logic of making the 
front-center length of the Susie/Wolbis almost so long? Is it a matter of 
making the total wheelbase longer or a function of the slacker HT and 
corresponding fork offset/trail), a combo? Perhaps I am wondering most 
importantly is, what are the ride characteristics of such a choice? Does it 
still handle in the way that most other high-trail bikes characteristically 
do? I ask because I am really interested in this design, understand the 
benefits of longer chainstays especially for my kind of more upright 
position and preferred weight distribution, but have still found that my 
favorite kind of bike that I have ridden so far has a longish rear-center, 
lowish trail, and a  front-center about 10cm shorter than that of the 
Susie. I am by no means a low trail evangelist, so  I guess what I am 
looking for are some impressions in terms of front-end handling of the 
bike?

[RBW] WTB: Large Sackville Saddle Bag or Something Similar

2021-02-01 Thread reca...@gmail.com
Hello All,

Looking to buy a Sackville Baggabond or large Sackville saddle bag. I am 
also open to any other large capacity saddle or handlebar bag. Let me know 
if anyone has anything they would like to sell. I am pretty open in terms 
of color but would like a large capacity bag. Thanks!

Carlos
