My eyes tell me that's about a 57cc 58 ct. My eyes tell me those are short
reach brakes, and 28c is in my experience the largest tire that short reach
brakes will clear. My eyes tell me that there are 25c tires currently on the
bike.
All of those things are consistent with typical geometry

I still have the 1st Gen Sunrace shifters on my Clem and 2nd those that noted
the ghost shifting in the rear my solution being the same as already
mentioned... over/under shifting slightly and backing off to find the sweet
spot. Definitely found a few in between gears with the mid range
Roberta, yes they get pitted, it's kind of annoying. I have two I'm not using,
if you email me I'll hook you up with one for, say, $15 shipped?

Thanks for all the interest. Here is an updated availability list with lower
prices and some added items:
Noodle cockpit, tektro levers, cloth tape, nitto technomic stem (100) - $75
Brooks cambium c19, almost new, black - $75
Sugino double crankset 50/36 - $75
Shimano 105 2 speed derailleur -
The rolled edge makes a fender worth the attention and effort to install right.
The amount of water kept contained by that simple feature of fenders made of
softer alloy than the PDWs, if you really ride in the wet, is impressive.

Hi everyone -
Up for sale is my custom Nobilette road bike, in candy apple red, with
Columbus SLX tubing.
TT is 56cm
I am 5-10, PBH of 85cm, and this bike fits just right. I'd be happy to give
any other measurements if you'd like.
All components included other than: saddle, pedals, pump, bottle
What's the seattube measurement, C-to-T?

Yes, yes it is. You do not need anything fancy. Cheap rubber patch kit and
rubber cement. I am referring to the kinda kit you find in the gas station, not
the ones with the orange edging or the green Slime brand ones. Just plane jane
rubber patch kit. Cut patch to size, rubber cement onto patch
Thanks for your info, and that from Kingdom Bikes.
My Sam rides Continental Speed Ride tires. As a guy who spent 40 years
doing airplanes, I am a believer in periodic inspections, including tire
rotation.
At about 1500 miles I started noticing fine threads from near the rim.
I just nip them
Thank you its a great bike just not enough room to keep them alltime to
catch and release.

The only time I have seen this happen is from a brake pad worn down, replaced
new, or combination of rim worn concave at the brake track. I have had it
happen on a tire which I later realized the wheel was not completely seated in
the dropout. Again, forcing the brake pad to come in contact
Will it shift when not on a hill? It may be that the limit screw for the
lower gear needs a slight tweak or that the cable needs to be given just a
bit more slack so that the derailleur can move a little more toward the
smaller gear.

I contend that it's madness. Those maddening maddeners only came on the first
run, then Riv switched to 9-speed with Microshifts swapped so the rear has a
soft ratchet and the front is pure friction. MUCH better.

The PDW fenders are made differently than Honjos/Velo Orange. Thicker,
harder grade of aluminum with cut edges rather than rolled. I'd say they're
less likely to dent, but I don't run fenders on gravel, so I haven't really
tested that hypothesis. It stands to

A bike mechanic who's used to all the shifty bits indexing properly might miss
this btw. That double fd isn't designed to work with a triple, especially one
with the low profile design Grant put into the Silver. It can be made to work,
but it takes a bit of fiddling.

It may be that the front derailleur is binding and needs some lubrication at
all the pivot points. With the shifter in position for the small ring, if you
push the derailleur cage in with your finger (not while riding, of course) does
the cage move inward some more? Or, look to see if there
Yep Garth, I think you're onto something there about derailer. Now that I've
wandered over to Leah's Instagram to get a look at her bike, I'm realizing she
has those Riv Silver cranks that mount the granny way tight to the frame. I'll
betcha that fd as set perfectly parallel to the rings is
That sounds like a FD alignment issue Leah. Regardless of the shifters in
question, I assume you mean the Sunrace "One at a time" ones, moving the
chain from ring to ring should work easily as long as the FD is set up
correctly and cable tension alright. If the FD is too high above the
Possible good news- silver shifters will go on those same thumb mounts on your

I don’t know those shifters well enough, but I’d be inclined to go with
shifters that are meant for their job, and as I recall those weren’t.
The front derailler (or at least most) should be in the little ring position
naturally. Meaning you have to pull the cable to get it to leave that
Ya know, all that esplainy stuff I did last night makes no sense in light of
the fact you've been riding the Betz for years with no shifting issues. What

Yes, Silver bar-ends are miles better than those ridiculous SunRace thumbies.
I'm thinking there's something wrong with
The refusal to shift in front is so touchy that I have to be on pancake-flat
ground. Any threat of incline is a deal-breaker. I’ve been riding 6 years on
these same paths on my friction-shifting Betty Foy and rarely have an issue. I
don’t think it should be this touchy. I caught on pretty quick

The finicky stuff was the rear cuz those clicks did in fact act kinda indexy
and would sometimes leave you stuck slightly between gears. Which won't make a
lick of sense to you if you've always used friction, so we can yak later on the
