[RBW] The Ultimate Brake Levers for an Albastache setup?

As many of you know I have a Leo Roadini, that I ran for a good while with drop bars. While I am absolutely a drop bar guy, I decided to convert my Leo to Albastache to establish it's place in my stable as a less-racey road bike. With its long chainstays, high head tube and now Albastache

I’ve never gone through a careful weight comparison of dyno vs battery light systems but I’d guestmate a wash or slightly lighter for the dyno setup. A dyno hub is a bit heavier than a regular one, but the dyno lights having no batteries are very light. Probably depend on how bright the battery

The entirely surprising thing I've found with having front and rear dyno lighting on my Atlantis is I really like having daytime running lights. I bought the bike as a demo from Analog Cycles and didn't have a choice about the lights; I wanted THAT bike and that's what was on it. My schedule

I don't ride too much in the dark these days, but I do it as it gets dark to the end of my ride. I currently use USB rechargeables. I remember in college having a light generator that looked like an old soda bottle. I flipped it down for contact on the wheel to generate the light. I did

Hear, hear. Outside of commuting I rarely if ever ride in the dusk or dark, and before I got a dyno setup I thought dealing with recharging batteries wasn’t a big deal. But when I got the dyno, who boy that’s just fantastic. Some of the best money I’ve ever spent. If you ride when lights are

I’ve done singletrack with a Wavie, Bullmoose, and Jones on a Clem and Toyo Atlantis. All are great. Assuming any of those bars, of more importance is your rear derailleur shifter. Depending on the terrain, and how quickly you’ll need to shift (...like a quick steep uphill into roots/rocks

The bullmoose is a stunningly bad idea that works out so very well. Paying extra to get a stem and handlebar you can't adjust is baffling, but I've done it twice and love them. I went with the Riv version both times, but that's because the bikes I put them on needed the rise they offer. The

I use the fairweather bullmoose bars with an adapter on my Appaloosa, and find that slightly less sweep/rise and more width compared to the Riv version is ideal for trail riding for me. Just another data point, I'm sure all of the options described above would work well, too. Here's a photo

I went from stock Bosco to Chocomoose to Jones 2.5 riser loop on my 65cm Clem and greatly prefer the shape/width of the Jones for most of my riding (which is non-technical multiple use paths with road and some technical single track sprinkled in.). This is with the 66cm wide Jones and leads me

Adding a dynohub just makes it extremely more useful. I was indecisive for years on getting a dynohub set-up. I've literally lost as many lights on the trail and to aged batteries than I have into a laced up dynohub. After the first night ride out I was so glad for the purchase. No worries

No shifters on the bullmoose bars on the Hunqabeam as it's fixed gear. The shifters on GBW are Shimano 1x11 indexed XT monstrosities that work really well, mount like a thumbie, and take up way too much space. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to
