Oh cool. I think my Haul'n Colin tombstone is a bit narrow if I can figure out that grip from photos. -- 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] Re: WTB: Some Green Backabike rear bags

Hang in there, Bill. The website says there is a possibility the olive will be there in a couple of weeks. I have the grey backabike bags, and they are my favorite bike accessory purchase this year, and possibly of all time. They look great, work great, simple and easy to use, and I use them

I used it on my Cetma 5-rail rack for a few months paired with a Nitto Saddlebag Grip. It was a great set-up! On Friday, November 6, 2015 at 3:56:03 PM UTC-8, Ryan Ray wrote: > > I wish my headtube was normal person sized. I love those set up as Porteur > bags. -- You received this message

[RBW] Build help needed

Soo... continuing in my Clem build project, as I was installing my vintage sugino gp crank set with 165mm arms, I hit the chain stay with the chain ring. I was upset at scratching the chain stay, but I'm set on having this bike for the long haul, so it will get scratched. (But THIS early?).

Message sent. If anyone's ever looking to get rid of 28 waist stuff, let me know! It's actually kind of hard to shop for my narrow waist size. A whole lot of manufacturers only go down to 30. -Nick On Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 4:52:16 PM UTC-6, drew wrote: > > a little off topic, i

[RBW] Re: Let's See Some Clem/Clementine Pics

I just used Testors enamel. Gloss white, mixed with the tinniest bit of yellow will match the crème color perfectly. Don't waste your time with masking tape. (I tried) Just use a good quality, fine, detail brush. For the lettering on the napkin rings (headtube reinforcers) just splooge

[RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

Bottom bracket height is as big a factor to this sweet spot as anything, yes? Presumably Rivendell bikes and similarly low bottomed machines give us the tools to go extra puffed? -Kai Brooklyn NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

For comparison I mounted a 700c x 38 Barlow pass on a Mavic A719 rim and added measurement to findings below: Month old Barlow Pass 35mm @ 50 PSI New SL reads 37.4 mm @ 41.4 PSI One week old EX reads 40 mm @ 41.2 PSI I won't have a chance to ride around but On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 3:44 PM,

[RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

IMO, no. Bottom Bracket height has been shown by some of the deepest thinkers about bikes to have very little to do with actual stability on the bike. Grant likes low BB because it makes it far easier to get the bars up. Low BBs get you the risk of pedal strike when you use small diameter
