[RBW] Re: Thin Gripster alternatives?

I've never had much trouble with bearings and such, probably because I'm the least competitive rider you'll ever meet..I just cruise like a lowered Impala on Saturday night. But I'm WAY sensitive to how that connection feels and small just won't do. I want the full floorboard when I put my foot

[RBW] Re: Thin Gripster alternatives?

I find it curious that so many people have problems with pedals! I've had a couple dozen different pedals & never problem one!? I would expect a problem for at least 5K miles. I regressed my old Shimano DX platform pedal many, many years ago, but I was doing 6,000 or so miles a year at that

Selling my very early Toyo Homer. 58cm. 650b. From all accounts, this appears to be a Saluki frame that became a very early Hilsen. It has a Saluki serial #, and the Saluki fork lug. This is a special bike, and I absolutely love it. Only selling due to pairing down of life stuff. It's got

Funny you mention that - I also have a pair of Vices (bought used) and they have been great. They are slightly thicker than the TGs but just as good otherwise. I always just assumed it was luck and that it was a matter of time before they started giving me problems too. I might try the Wellgo

I've found bikes to be bridge builders. Bikes don't care about your politics, philosophy or faith. You just get on them and ride. Most people love riding, regardless of the other boxes in life they check. I don't eat paleo, does that mean I shouldn't buy a Riv because GP eats that way? Of
