I also recommend the Crank Brothers multi-tools (although I prefer the M10 without the chain tool because I have a separate one). The M17/M19 does look decent, if the chain tool is worth a damn. The M series Crank Brothers tools are very durable; I've had two Park multi-tools come apart in my han

[RBW] Re: need help troubleshooting my eyc dyno light and sp hub combo

Water will wick in to the small entry holes for the wires unless they are sealed with silicone or other adhesive. Honestly, it's not an issue. I've been running two Shimano hubs, one for four years, one for three years (the latter one in all weather including New England winters) and haven't h

Ok, I realized the absurdity of my suggestion. Duh, the guy's located far away. Never mind... Now I feel stupid. OK, so in the case where the facilitator is out of state, my earlier comment still holds true (the gratis part) but you can always offer to paypal the facilitator a gift, even if h

[RBW] Re: New bicycle brand from Merry Sales = New Albion

Sorry to drift this, but both the brewery and, presumably, the bicycles were named after "Nova Albion," the name Sir Frances Drake gave to northern California upon claiming it for Queen Elizabeth I. The ship is the Golden Hind. Albion="white" after the cliffs of Dover so New Albion= New Englan

[RBW] Re: Appropriate compensation for help with a Craigslist sale?

On most other forums I'm on, this type of thing is done gratis... one of the things that make these online communities so great. That said, it NEVER hurts to show your gratitude... buy the guy a beer. Maybe you'll not only end up with a successful transaction, but also a new friend. Anton O

[RBW] Appropriate compensation for help with a Craigslist sale?

I know that some folks on the list have helped or have been helped with a CL (or other) purchase where the seller wouldn't ship. I suppose this involves transporting the bike to a nearby shop that would pack and ship, or maybe something else. What's the going rate for assistance like that? Cas

[RBW] Re: Chains do not like me.

If you have room, bring your full-sized Park tool, unless you still have an old Rivoli - bring that just because it's cool. On Monday, March 23, 2015 at 1:19:16 PM UTC-5, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: > > Yeah... I'm consistently amazed how few riders have a chain tool (a _GOOD_ > one) on board. If y

Re: [RBW] Re: Chains do not like me.

The best portable chain tool, and multi-tool in general, that I have found has been the Crank Brothers M17 http://www.crankbrothers.com/product/view/146 The spoke wrench is really what puts it over the top for me. Very easy to use and precise. Other than a 15mm for my fixed gear, it has every

Can you install the hub with the connector facing down. Wouldn't that eliminate water entry? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunc

[RBW] Re: Drive Train Mystery Sound

my annoying chirp exposed itself. Went over the rear brake setup, took the wheel in for tighten and true - it persisted. Never right off, but showed up after a 100 yds or so, and always there, chriping on 1xR with the rear wheel, disappearing on right turns. I watched it enough I saw exactly

[RBW] Re: need help troubleshooting my eyc dyno light and sp hub combo

Interesting you should say that. My own sense, after using the Shimano system for quite a while, is that stranded wire works best, because the stranding has some of the qualities of a spring contact. When the stranded wire is "squeezed" between the plastic shell and the contact on the wheel,
