[RBW] Re: Removing crown race from Appaloosa fork

Have you tried borrowing a Park crown race puller ? These use broad "blades" to bite into the crown race, so as to maximize contact and thus minimize crown race distortion, and pull from the steerer side instead of pushing

Re: [RBW] Re: Rene Herse Fender Install for QB

Ahhh! The clock is a better way to describe it. You are correct, Jason, the fender goes forward to 1:30, so a bit back from the 2:00 window you describe. It does need the stay on there, especially given the terrain I ride. Yes, I have a flap for the rear I'll be adding (they put the flap on

Patrick, First off, great to hear that they did a good job. I’m sure others will have suggestions here. Without seeing the bike it is hard to say. My intuition tells me it is in the right place to - A: ward off spray coming off the top of the wheel. There can still be significant material

H. My wife just picked up my now fendered Quickbeam. It looks great, except they installed the front fender so it sticks out in the front about 5" too far forward. I have the additional stay to add myself. Will this be adiquate? Or do I need to rotate the fender back, to increase coverage

[RBW] Re: Thoughts on Rivendell cork grips

I had the composite (chopped up) type on Alba bars and found that using a layer of gaffers tape under them provided enough "tooth" to hold firm and I did not have to glue the grips. Left mine unvarnished, but did use an oil (I think Obenaufs) that protected the cork a bit and soaked in so they

[RBW] Re: Back on a Bleriot

My wife has a Bleriot and the VO Porteur bars are what she settled on after trying drops & north roads. She clocks her speed and went a lot faster with those bars too. Seems like if you already have those on the Specialized & aren't into the feel on that bike, you could just throw that cockpit

Re: [RBW] Re: Thoughts on Rivendell cork grips

You gotta pop holes in the cork grips and the oury grips. I think riv has instructions on the website for shaping them. I’ve done it a few times and it was pretty easy. Just gotta be careful not to go too deep on the channel for the shifter cable. I think I dry fit the oury grips and popped a

[RBW] Re: Thoughts on Rivendell cork grips

I don't use bar end grips as I prefer as much usable bar space free as possible. On a Alba bar that is large range from bar end up to and over the curve, as I have bar end brake levers for unadulterated movement.. I use something like Cinelli Cork bar tape or any brand of similar. Sure it's
