[RBW] Re: Why I went Tubeless

Thanks Tim! Stoked to be doing the clinic. We also have a huge tubeless tutorial on our site, with trouble shooting stuff, a pros and cons write up, and all of the bits you need to get started, except an air compressor. Here's those links: Set up guide: https://www.analogcycles.com/true-fa

My tubeless journey got under way just as C19 got going. I have a set of 650b Pacenti Brevets with RH Babyshoe Pass mounted. All’s well and maybe I’ll better for not starting with tubes at this width (650b x 42). Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Re: [RBW] Re: For salvage sale, Ibis Cousin IT tandem

Hi Rob, I did get in touch with Ibis, about finding decals (there are! chuckibis.com ) I'm glad it's going to get fixed but I just won't be able to keep it - no room! But I didn't want to see the frame scrapped and parts cannibalized. Looking for a good home for it, maybe somebody with young ki

[RBW] Re: Frank Jones, Losco Bars

Joe, do you have links to Grant writing about a new singlespeed bike? I missed that, and and enjoyable hour reading recent blahg posts didn’t turn anything up. It sure seems like we talk less about Grant’s writing than we used to. When we do it’s pretty me,or able, though Philip Santa Rosa, CA

[RBW] Re: For salvage sale, Ibis Cousin IT tandem

So are you going to keep it, Bill? That's a rare and nearly mythical beast! But I imagine storing 2 tandems would be difficult. Have you gotten in touch with Ibis? Seems like they're pretty active sending out newsletters and such. Maybe they'd want to let Ibisians (as they say) know about your

[RBW] Re: Why I went Tubeless

This is awesome, thanks for pulling this together! I recently had a pair of wheels built with Cliffhangers with Hurricane Ridge tubeless tires for my SimpleOne. Really had no clue what tubeless meant, for me, I was like, is that some sort of sew-up deal? But hell no, really cool improvement in t

Re: [RBW] Re: In Praise of the Roadini

Have to agree. I have a 2x1 roadini that it looks like the folks at Riv built up for fun (33 1/3 Jack Browns are nice!) — I added towel crust rack bars on it, front dynamo, rear swift zeitgeist (with Carradice rack for quick breakaway...) and I’ve been riding pretty much everything in and around

[RBW] Re: Another Clem fender conundrum

If you want to support a bike shop instead of a hardware store (not that we don't like hardware stores!), Analog sells spacers and stainless bolts in all sorts of lengths for this kinda application. Aluminum spacers are gunna be way better than a cork, which is too compressible / springy for r
