[RBW] Recommend bag sized bike pump, please.

Okay. Last post on this I promise. Here's the Topeak website link to the Mini. 10" long. Maybe it'll still fit your bag if stored at an angle? If so, I believe you'd be happy with this one. https://www.topeak.com/global/de/products/mini-pumps/248-mini-morph- -- You received this message

[RBW] Recommend bag sized bike pump, please.

This is the one I have. I've been very happy with it. About 100 strokes for a 700x32 tire up to acceptable riding pressure. https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Mini-Morph-Bike-Pump/dp/B000FICCQC IanA Alberta Canada -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

[RBW] Recommend bag sized bike pump, please.

Lpok at the Topeak Morph series too. I have the Mini Morph. I think it's called the Mini but could be wrong. It's excellent and small and compact and has a hose to the tire valve. I find this approach much more ergonomic and less likely to tear out a valve. -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Recommend bag sized bike pump, please.

I've got the SKS Supersho*r*t that RBW used to sell, and I like it. Pretty sure it's less than 7" long. Never counted how many strokes it took to get a tire up to roadworthy pressure. Jeff Hagedorn Los Angeles, CA USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Lezynes are nice. I have two and enjoy them. Some folks find that they mess with their valves. I haven’t experienced that in around 8 years of use. YMMV -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

1. Must be about 7" long so it can fit in a Sackville Banana Sax bag. 2. Must take less than 200 pumps to pump a 700c x 32 tire up to 60psi. Thanks for your recommendations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

Please recommend a good floor pump. Must: 1. Be easy on/off. I do not want to have to rip the head off each time after inflating to get it off the stem. 2. Seal well. I do not want to have to pump faster and faster to beat the escaping air to the psi number want. 3. Be less than $65 US Thanks

[RBW] PSA- Rambouillet FS in Boston

I was pleasantly surprised when visiting my LBS yesterday, there on the for sale racks amongst a bunch of used bikes was a gorgeous Rambouillet. Tag has it as 58, for $1,500. It’s over at Bikes Not Bombs in Jamaica Plain. It’s a real beaut! https://photos.app.goo.gl/pg9LxRacWXwPb9wT9 -Peter

[RBW] Different bars make a different bike.

I was out riding the Appaloosa today and thought I’d do a small experiment. I switched the Choco-moose bars to Bullmoose bars at the trailhead today, which was made easy by having slip on grips. With the exception of making the brake housing too long (but still working) the installation was a

[RBW] FS Berthoud 700x40 stainless fenders w/extras

Sorry I missed this. Just bought these from PJW. Clearance fine on my Ram but tight with 32s so I am getting Cerf 28s for more clearance. Also, I would suggest using Sheldon fender nut with VO fender L bracket, not a daruma. Daruma will not work with sidepulls ime. Calipers dangle too low. --

[RBW] Re: Recommend 700 x 28c tire, please.

I’ve never had more than 75psi in my Chinook Passes, but I only weigh 140 pounds. I have the extra light version, and am a little over 1000 miles in, with no flats. I do find them noticeably nicer riding than the 28mm non-belted Paselas they replaced, but not necessarily dramatically so. I

I like this a lot! I've been saving my Mtn Mixte for a mid-drive motor conversion, and I think a cargo fork would be the perfect extension of this utility bike idea. Gotta get one of these! On Friday, September 28, 2018 at 2:35:01 PM UTC-7, Drw wrote: > > Just finished converting my rosco mtn

I recently bought a pair of the 700x28c Vittoria Corsa G+ for my new Roadeo. I haven’t built up the new Roadeo yet, but have been riding the tires on my Ram. They look and feel great. I highly recommend them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

[RBW] Re: Recommend 700 x 28c tire, please.

On second thought, maybe my pinch flats were nothing but bad luck, or sample variation in tires. My Compass 38's were flat-prone, as are the 28's, but my 35's are not (all are EL casing). Also, I now think at least one of my pinch flats may have been due to a slow leak that lowered psi to a

[RBW] Re: Recommend 700 x 28c tire, please.

I must be doing something wrong, because I'm also 175lb, and pinch flats start happening at 80-85 psi! Maybe it's my narrow Mavic Open Pro rims; been thinking that wider rims might make a difference. I also ride a lot of rough pavement, some gravel, and occasionally hop up curbs. Before the

I love the more classic looking - Rambouillet, AHH (mine is 67cm single top tube), Quickbeam type looks. Over the years the bigger bikes that fit me have gone by the wayside and I didn't buy the 69 AHH in time.. I do love my Bombadil for touring. I sold the Ram, and Quickbeam and am down to

I agree. I think modding a non disc bike would just cause comprimises on both the frame and the disc performance. Besides, rim brakes work perfectly fine and easier to fix in the field I would think. I think discs are nice and modern but definitely not necessary. Maybe if you descend in the

I'll second the 'keeper' status. I did a nice town ride on mine today and it's SUCH a great bike. I have a tendency to catch and release a lot, but this one has a special vibe for me that I'm quite surprised by. I've really enjoyed the longer/plusher Rivs I've owned the last few years, but

Thanks for your remarks, Bill. I'm glad to know you still enjoy your Roadini after the infatuation period has subsided. I recall you own some very special bikes, so I was specifically wondering if Leo had earned 'keeper' status. Now I know. Jack Seattle On Thursday, September 20, 2018 at
