[RBW] FS or Trade: Clipless Pedals

[R. Alexis]

Hi folks. I am clearing out some stuff and ran across a set of "Panda" 
Shimano PD-M515 pedals I have no use for. Left pedal is black and right one 
is silver. Both used, but in good condition, no clips, unless I can find 
some laying round. Looking at $25 shipped. Would be interested in trade. 
Let me know what you have. I cannot think of anything I really need. 

Thanks,

Reginald Alexis

[RBW] Re: Grips appreciation post

[R. Alexis]

I have some Bontrager XXX foam grips on my 1994 Bridgestone MB-1 retro 
ride. I like them. Also using a combination of small trimmed remain 
sections of Bontrager XR Silicone and Race Lite X/RXL foam grips on my Gary 
Fisher Tandem on the front with Surly Bikes Open Bar using SRAM Grip Shift. 
Really liking the set up. Considering replacing the older Bontrager Dual 
Compound ergo grips on my Bontrager single speed with some  Bontrager XR 
Silicone, some ESI grips https://esigrips.com/ or some Chucks 
Grips https://www.chucksgrips.com/ when I change out some stuff. Have some 
Wilderness Trail Bikes/WTB Original Trail Grips on my WTB Bon Tempe and the 
Magura modified WTB grips on my Rivendell Mountain. 

Thanks,

Reginald Alexis

Re: [RBW] Re: Question about rear brake cable housing routing with low friction on a Clem

[R. Alexis]

Allan,

Excellent use of that 135 degree noodle. I have used a couple of these to 
route derailleur cable from the SunTour Command shifters in place of more 
cumbersome full cable run on my Wilderness Trail Bike Dirt Drop bar OX 
Brand Ti 29er cruiser. Also used a 90 degree one on the front cable hanger 
on my Gary Fisher Gemini tandem with Surly Open bar. Made for smoother 
cable routing. 

I would say a bike shop probably has them sitting in a parts drawer, but 
some shops may just toss them. Depends on the shop. 

Nice seeing standard canti's in use on these bikes. 

Thanks,

Reginald Alexis

Re: [RBW] Re: Gus /Susie bottom bracket -which one?

[R. Alexis]

Looking at IRD website the IRD Quad has a 73mm conversion cups and a 
conversion washer to change the 68 to a 73. Bottom brackets without a 
shoulder can be mounted to work with both 68 and 73mm bottom brackets. The 
bottom bracket would fit further in the shell. I did this with a TruVativ  
Powerspline bottom bracket. Had the shoulder machined off the 68mm driver 
side to fit further in the 73mm bottom bracket. The person that took it to 
have it machined didn't know to leave the tool mounting splines. I ended up 
putting spanner pins in to install. 

Does the current spindle length work and fit for your use? Do both the arms 
and chainring clear sufficiently? Are you changing cranks? 

I know that on my SunTour cranks with 110/74 BCD and 175mm length I think 
they specify possibly a 125 or 127mm spindle, but 122.5mm spindles have fit 
fine on my bikes. Only bike using 127mm is the Schwinn High Plains 
Aluminum. 

Thanks,

Reginald Alexis

[RBW] Re: Repaired Susie and Intro post

[R. Alexis]

Was wondering what happened to this frame. The original poster never 
replied that I saw when I inquired about it way later. Your repair looks 
good. Nice to see it rolling. Should get some Protovelo decals from 
Rivendell and then paint it. There is that bike paint that Old Shovel 
uses, https://spraybike.us/ that may work. Strip down or partial strip then 
paint leaving the areas that have good paint still. Don't know if that 
would work.
