[RBW] Re: Bartubes discontinued

All Sackville bags are waterproof. You probably don't need a Bartube if you already have a bag on a front rack, but I've used one with a ShopSack in a basket. I like the convenience of the basic essentials being in a separate small bag I can transfer easily to whichever bike I grab. -- You

Are they waterproof? I've wanted one, but alas, I use a Berthoud GB25 up front and a sprung saddle in back... but they are gorgeous... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

There was a time several years back when Grant/Riv questioned the conventional “low rider is better” wisdom. Grant wrote a pretty lengthy piece on it. This was probably 2005-ish. I’d bet it’s out there somewhere. I’m sure someone at Riv must have it. Cheers, Chris -- You received this

[RBW] Re: Front rack ID on this Atlantis?

Bill, I think that's it. I remember asking at Rivendell about this rack. I liked the idea that it didn't extend below the drop outs, but questioned what it did to handling with a load. The conventional wisdom being to keep the front bags low and this clearly raises them quite a ways.

Hi, does anyone know what front rack this is? My guess is it's definitely Nitto. I thought it was the big front rack, but it’s not quite it. It also seemed very similar to the big back rack but note quite either (and I don’t even know if that’s possible). Any clue? -- You received this

I have one of the old Baggins ones, brass & leather. These are super useful if you travel & can't expect a rental bike to have any bags. If you can find a Baggins, I can attest to them wearing forever & thriving on neglect. I would expect the Brand V or whatever they are now to be similarly

Apparently y'all aren't buying these fabulous bags so Riv has stopped making them. I have one that travels with me from bike to bike: holds phone, wallet, keys, reading glasses, patch kit and a mini pump, with room leftover for an extra pair of maybe-it'll-get-cold-later gloves. Hook-and-loop

Aye, Brian. I was contemplating on today’s ride how my average pace hasn’t changed much, but I’m decidedly faster in some places and decidedly slower in others (down hills). It’s fun to take it slowish down a hill that has a climb after and release to gain momentum for the climb ahead. Slower
