Re: [RBW] Re: Quickbeam or Simpleone alternative

To find a SO/Quickbeam: I'd call RBW and ask. Sometimes they put some discontinued models for sale on the site that they dug out of storage, if I remember right. They just might have one around. If that fails, I'd start calling around Harris Cyclery, Peter White Cycles, and http://bike123.com/us

Nope. The Quickbeam will do 38mm tires and fenders nicely. More is a hassle to set up, and a hassle to maintain. The first gen green ones, at least. I could do nominal 45mm smokes, but I had to shave the side knobs in the rear. If I wanted the function, I'd get a Black Mountain. If I wanted the
