Very happy for you, Bill, and wish you the best on this adventure! I applaud your plan and your preparation. But what you said at the end of your post should be highlighted for many of us... "...I'm getting to the point in life where I have to stop dreaming of doing these things and just do th

Joe, you have obviously converted several bikes to ebikes. Looks like we may be moving to a hilly area that may warrant conversions to get us through a few areas. Not sure if I would convert my Cheviot or Soma Groove (assume it can be converted and then I wouldn't be messing with my favorite)

Hey Bill, Have a BLAST on the GDMBR! Looks like you have prepped very well. Will the ACA allow you to start from Jasper, this being the 20th Anniversary of the GD? The ACA is supposed to have the map section for the Canada portion updated to have the new terminus in Jasper (vs. Banff) by

Great job! Cholesterol isn’t what doctors think it is, doesn’t mean what doctors think it means, and cholesterol blood work doesn’t mean what they think it means. This is the conclusion I came to based on personal experience as well as a variety of research, which is well summed up in various po

Hi KC, I'll PM you about specific kit stuff, but will address the bike candidate question here. All things being equal - especially with the absurdly powerful motor I'm running, this thing would get me tossed out of Europe - a bike with v-brakes or discs like your SOMA can run is a better idea

I just cover the rubber clamps with a couple plastic baggies and clamp lightly to the toptube. There's no risk of the bike sliding down so it doesn't have to clamp tight like on a post or seattube. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"
