[RBW] Is this Compass tire usable?

If you're using it tubeless, you can just stick a repair worm in there and you're back at it in a flash. I get those massive holes fairly often and the worms work every time. This is the one I use- https://www.rei.com/product/144726/lezyne-tubeless-patch-kit -Kai -- You received this message

[RBW] Is this Compass tire usable?

Absolutely. I've patched EL's with a glued in tire boot from the inside (or a patch from the inside, as someone already mentioned) and run them the full life of the tire without issue. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owne

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

My go to derailleur for middle inner double is the XT fd-m737 90's era Microdrive Front that was designed for a 44-32-22 rings. The LX from the era is also good. I have not tried a CX70, but I would try your current spindle first. I would also consider putting a 1-2 mm BB spacer on the drive si

[RBW] Is this Compass tire usable?

I put a cut in a Marathon 700x35mm tire while touring in Central America. The tire had just been brought to me by someone visiting from the US and had no more than 100 miles on it. I was most frustrated, as good 700 tires where effectively impossible to come by. I booted with a worn out Pasela a

[RBW] Is this Compass tire usable?

If you have (or can lay your hands on) a worn out tire, cut a fair sized piece of casing from it and glue it to the inside of the tire with contact cement. Should be fine with a tube. Regarding tubeless I’m ignorant but it might work fine that way too as long as the doner tire is tubeless compat

Re: [RBW] Is this Compass tire usable?

You could put a tube patch on the inside of the tire itself. Park Tool makes a large, self-adhesive patch specifically for this purpose: https://www.parktool.com/product/emergency-tire-boot-tb-2 You could also try a layer or two of gaf

I believe I have a 107 bb, wide low double with chain guard (from rbw) and a cx70 fd on my bombadil. Works fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an emai

Re: [RBW] Is this Compass tire usable?

I’m not a tire expert but I do have Compass tires on 4 bikes and run 28 c tubies on the fifth. If it was me I doubt I’d run it. But let me say that I had a very similar tire destruction running Marathon Supremes commuting through the SE warehouse district in Portland. It lead me to adopt really st

Oh and it is worth mentioning, this tire has less than 100 miles. On Tuesday, 2 July 2019 15:41:16 UTC-7, Ash wrote: > > Tire experts, > > I mounted Compass Babayshoe Pass (EL) tires tubeless couple of months ago > on my Rivfied road bike. They were a joy to ride for sure. Unlike > anything!

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

I would not assume the fully built Clems come with a 110 spindle. Frankly I think that's an odd spec which seems to come on all the MIT framesets, and makes a heckuva lot more sense on Roadini than the touring/townie bikes. The problem you're trying to work around is there are no FDs specifical

[RBW] Re: Converting a triple to a low/low

Had a long conversation with Roman today. He claims that the conversion is simple (as we discussed) but that the front derailluer can be an issue. So most FD's have a longish cage and setting it that low will cause it to hit the chainstay. BUT Rivendell sells a 34/24 as their Low/Low and that

Hey group, long shot and wondering if anyone has a 63 AHH that they’re not riding much these days that they might be interested in selling. Bill Lindsay recently had one for sale on here that I missed out on. They seem like an ideal bike. If you got one, please PM me. Thank you.-Mik

[RBW] Re: FS: Nitto Fairweather Drop Bar and 60mm Technomic Stem

It's basically a similar shape as the noodle, but with less reach and shallower drops. A bit better for those who like the shape of the noodle but find the reach too long. The disadvantage is that it's not readily available in the US. So you have to order it from Blue Lug in Japan. -- You rece
