Re: [RBW] Re: Economical Clem

In my experience , the stock Clem build has a number of parts that I disagreed with: the saddle was physically painful after less than a mile, I didn't like the bars or shifters, and the tires were the worst I've ever used. So

[RBW] Re: Economical Clem

Julian I call that state: "osmotic equilibrium". When the density of bikes inside your shed is too high, then the increased bike pressure tends to push bikes out. When the density in your shed it too low, it's natural that bikes flow into your shed. When you've reached osmotic equilibrium, b

Last call on the new Big Agnes Copper Spur *+ titanium stake package* before it heads to eBay. Now $350 + $15 shipping. That's considerably less than I paid for the tent alone and I got a pretty good deal on it. -J On Saturday, June 8, 2019 at 4:14:22 PM UTC-4, Jack K wrote: > > Hey Riv-folk, >

[RBW] Re: Economical Clem

With respect to "osmotic equilibrium" and "bike density," is there a formula that helps define or establish the relative density of an individual bike? The usual equation of *"Desired/Necessary Bike Quantity being N+1"* seems to assume that all bikes have a uniform "value." Or that the space oc

Re: [RBW] Two Midsummer Nights' Dream Bikepacking Pikes Peak

Beautiful photos as usual. What is it about the GBW that makes it so nimble over obstacles? What does it have that the QB and Hunqapillar don't have? Is it the wheels and tires? Longer stays? Something else? On Sat, Jun 22, 2019 at 11:29 AM 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch

[RBW] iBob cross post: VO stem clunkin' around in there

Good afternoon everybody, I recently bought a VO 31.8 quill stem in order to try Salsa Cowchipper bars on my Sam Hillborne. I took it on some trails last week and felt some clunking around when I would go over rocks/bumps, and I could also feel a clunk when I hopped up curbs, hit potholes, etc.

Re: [RBW] Two Midsummer Nights' Dream Bikepacking Pikes Peak

Patrick, you name the two most obvious: plus tires and longer chain stays. There are other geometry differences that are beyond my comprehension, including a shallower head tube. However, Beorn is nimble and spry like a bear is nimble and spry, which is to say not neither of those, but a more ap

Drw, I live at 7,800 feet and topped out at a bit over 11,000 feet, so only 3,200 feet gain. No idea what the total gain is, but tends to be actual gain x 1.5-3. Don't track that. Total route is only 50 miles or so, round trip. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are
