[RBW] Re: Changing tires on Cliffhanger rims

Weird, I've always found the Cliffhangers to be some of the easiest rims from which to remove/mount tires. Glad you were able to figure it out. My Sun CR18's have always been a pain in the ass but often depends what tires are going on/off. And they aren't tubeless rims. On Friday, December 4,

Wow, that is amazing. I'm hoping this is way to small for me, so I can stop thinking about it. What's the saddle height in the pic? What size regular (level top tube) road bike do you ride? Thanks! Chris On Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 11:03:18 AM UTC-5 Ted Durant wrote: > Hi All - > > Up fo

Oh my, that is such a gorgeous bike. Geometry is very similar to my Vanilla, which is not a coincidence! I hope Ray is buying this. It needs to stay in the family. Cheers, Harth On Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 9:09:47 AM UTC-8 Ray Varella wrote: > Pm sent Ted > > I’m at rayvarella007 at gma

Re: [RBW] Re: Leah’s Rivendell Raspberry Platypus

Mike, I love the anodizing you did for your Golden Sam. It just makes a bike so personalized, and adds little delights all over the place. Yours all ties in together so very well; I’m aiming for a more cohesive look in the parts I’ve got coming from Analog. I’m also happy to see all the sparkle

[RBW] Swappable handlebar setup

[RBW] Re: Swappable handlebar setup

Wonderful! A luxury not often seen with quill-stemmed bikes. Do you find yourself wishing for any extra stem length when riding with the flat bars? -Robert On Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 3:53:34 PM UTC-7 brettjc...@gmail.com wrote: > Link to album

Re: [RBW] Re: Swappable handlebar setup

Thanks! Stem length hasn't been an issue so far, with the pretty straight bars. Some with with backsweep like an albatross bar would likely require a different stem. On Sat, Dec 5, 2020, 5:19 PM Robert Hakim wrote: > Wonderful! A luxury not often seen with quill-stemmed bikes. > Do you find you

[RBW] The “Is It Normal Or Is It Broken” New Bike Game!

All I want to do is just ride my raspberry Platypus. I have goals, a 3,000 mile one for 2020, in fact, and I am 17.1 miles from reaching it. But instead of basking in that, I have been riding around stressed out by all the new sounds/ticks/rubs/whirs that my new bike is making. Add to that the

I've been there, embarrassingly so. Years ago I bought a Dahon folding bike all decked out with fenders, racks and a dynohub..the first dyno I'd ever even seen live in person. The dang thing made a heck of a racket and I finally decided this can't be normal and I was beside myself about what to

In the video, I'm hearing several sounds--are you referring to the scraping "shhk . . . shk-shhhk . . . shhk . . ." sound, sort of like a credit card scraping against a tabletop? Since the sound is intermittent but appears to be wheel-related, and sounds like rubber-hitting-light metal, I would

Of course! Many times! And worse than rubbing: major things wrong with the new build: the front derailleur won't shift to the small ring (stupidly installed crank on far too long bb spindle; learned something!*), the rear derailleur rubs on spokes before shifting to the big cog (that one still puzz

Nice setup! Tell us about the decaleur on the bars: Did you create it and machine it? Looks like each set of bars has its own decaleur. And, what sort of bag and mounting method are you using with it? Thanks, David Lipsky Berkeley, CA On Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 2:53:34 PM UTC-8 brettjc...@
