RE: [RBW] Re: 60cm Maxway Hillborne Photos
It's useful for my particular setup to have the bottle mounts a bit lower. I ride a 54cm frame and use Polar water bottles which are a bit taller than standard, and I have a frame pump mounted under my top tube. If the bottle mounts are too high, the top of my bottle hits the frame pump...so maybe the lower mounts should be a size specific feature?

I suppose you could use spacers to hop over the derailleur clamp. It'll be tough to reach down that far to grab the bottle while riding. Why not have it higher? Something I'm missing?

Re: [RBW] Re: 60cm Maxway Hillborne Photos
Looks great! You really take some fantastic bike pictures. I love that Hillborne orange. I've been riding a Surly Pacer quite a bit lately, and it's equipped with Shimano Tiagra brifters. It's the first brifter equipped bike that I've ridden in a long time. I know it's sort of sacrilege on this list, but I really like the brifters a lot. They're super ergonomic and they shift perfectly (at least for now). What kind of bar tape did you use on the Hillborne?

Best spacer I have fond to date for this problem is a single presta valve nut on each. presta-valve-nut! that makes so much more sense now! I thought those were just things the tube manufacturers gave us to use as spacers for rear-rack installs to let our fender stays sneak past. :) -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
