[RBW] Re: Considering a shorter stem

Not an 8, but I use a 6cm extension on my Sam with Noodles and its been really great so far. The stock 8 was too long feeling for me. Don't be afraid to go short. You can also rotate your brake levers up the ramps a little to get the hoods a cm or two closer in reach. -- You received this mes

[RBW] Re: Lucky

the Babyshoe Pass's are slightly narrower than the Hetres due to thinner sidewall thickness. Mine measure 39.9mm on A23's. Still a great tire and super that they fit. ~mike Carlsbad Ca. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Re: [RBW] Who you calling DUMMY!?!

I would caution that "riv sizing" or seat slamming a big dummy can lead to extremely awkward bike mounting if the bike is loaded or has a passenger on the back. I would recommend running them on the "true fit" size if you have a chance. This all depends on your flexibility and comfort throwing

[RBW] Considering a shorter stem

Anyone ride an 8cm stem with noodles or Mark's Bar or the like? If so, are you comfortable with the shorter feel, the steering, the aesthetics? I'm running a 9cm on an AHH with Mark's Bar and I'm starting to consider bringing the bars closer... because at this point I have more than a fistful

I dunno, Manny. For a guy you say doesn't care to ride, your dad looks like he's doing pretty good. The recent rains have really helped green up the hills. They look so much better than last fall. That Mt Diablo trip looks like y'all had a good time. Keep the pix coming! dougP On Saturd

[RBW] Re: Lucky

That just looks So Right. How different is the tire outside diameter from your favorite 700c? I think 650 x 42 would be a lot smaller than 700 x 40 but it sure doesn't look that way in the photo. dougP On Saturday, December 27, 2014 3:08:08 PM UTC-8, Christopher Chen wrote: > > P50s and Com

Re: [RBW] Re: Wire Routing For Rack-Mounted Tail Light

That's a clever and tidy method. But curious: why not just stick the wires to the frame with the glue? Me, I just today got a nice, NOS battery rack-mount tail light from a listmember to substitute for my dynamo Toplight: Not mounting fenders year 'round, I don't have them to use as discrete wire

[RBW] Re: Wire Routing For Rack-Mounted Tail Light

I've done a lot of bike wiring on bikes not designed for internal wire routing, and the solution that I've been most pleased with is adhering small 1/2" lengths of shrink tubing to the frame as guides, then routing the wire through them. I use an adhesive

Blue Loctite works well for slipping seatposts (and cradles that hold the saddle rails), but it might mar a nickel plated finish. I stopped a considerably undersized titanium post from slipping in my '99 Riv road bike with Blue. On Sat, Dec 27, 2014 at 9:32 AM, Jeremy Till wrote: > I had similar

I had similar problems on a Nitto lugged post in my Quickbeam when it was new. Carbon friction paste is a good idea and widely available at LBSes now. I just use a very miniscule amount of grease now. The problem also seems to get better as the seatpost's finish wears a bit. This happened q

I've done lighting both ways: dynamos with front and back lights and lately: the Cygo Streak and battery powered Topline Rear. 4 bikes: 2 each way. I love dynamos, but must admit the Cygos and Toplines give dynamos a real run for the money. They are much cheaper, way easier to install, seriousl

Hey Darin, On my Hunqapillar, I routed the taillight wire along the left/underside of my mini Nitto front rack and wrapped at strategic points with transparent helicopter tape(the same stuff used for clear chainstay protectors). Then I used the smallest black zip ties I could find to secure to
