[RBW] Big Guy Saddle Question

2011-05-30 Thread dweendaddy
I have a VO Model 8, sprung and similar in dimensions to the B67. I have it on my cargo bike and ride upright. I am 210 pounds and I think I am a bit big for it. I don't know if it is my size, but the two rivets on the side of the nose failed. I have a few questions: 1. Is the B67 leather thicker o

This a truly outstanding book on the "art" of co-existing with vehicles while asserting your rights and respecting drivers, even when they're cravenly insane: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Cycling-Bicycling-21st-Century-America/dp/B002KE48D4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306810945&sr=8-1 I've only had a cha

it's about 82.6 cm at the middle of the tt, with Mara Racer 35c's pumped up to 70psi. goes up to 84 as you slide forward. so it's comparable with the QB numbers. i was thinking 56 based on the charts, and was advised to go to 58 or even 60. and per the site suggestion my pbh of 84.5 minus 2

Could you measure and report the mid top tube standover of your simpleone explicitly? The quickbeam chart says 83 and 85 cm standover for the 58 and 60 cm bikes respectively. In one of the rivendell messages they said PBH minus 23 or 25 cm for the simpleone. That would put you (and me) on a 60 c

I apologize. I guess the blog post I referred to was directed more at two issues raised in cyclofiend's post above: "what do you hope to gain?" and the mechanical issue of cantilever brakes with enough adjustment to cover the difference in radius. On May 30, 1:00 pm, JL wrote: > I don't want to

I don't want to be too much of a stickler for details but the LHT and the Atlantis do not have very similar frame geometry. It is a common misconception. We are talking about 559 to 584 conversions and in that sense, yes they have about the same clearance and cantilever post position. I am int

Long shot, I picked up one of the $20 Wooly Warm crooked placket button down sweater vests (small pockets) at the RBWHQ garage sale last year. At first I was bothered by the placket and didn't think the vest would work for me but now find it's a base layer for my morning commute as well as around
