Re: [RBW] Reverse Levers with Linear-Pull Brakes?

I never owned a pair, but as I recall they had a dual pivot design that would accommodate both short- and long-reach brakes. I actually wrote Paul directly and asked whether he had any kicking around, or would consider making them again. The answer was "no" to both questions, so the used market

Re: [RBW] Re: Your lockable commuter thread

What's impressive about it is that it rides more or less the same in either condition - it's pretty neutral in either situation, which is quite appropriate! I also hadn't considered that it actually makes the bike more compact overall with the smaller front wheel, which is handy for city use.

Re: [RBW] A Hydraulic Disc Brake Rivendell...

Nice! I have a cable actuated BB7 on mine connected to a thumb shifter lever. It works pretty well but the thumb shifter I used isn’t the best. I think the ratchets they put in it are coarse enough that is doesn’t always hold as tight as we want. A hydro with a real brake lever would work better

[RBW] A Hydraulic Disc Brake Rivendell...

Tonight I finally got around to an upgrade that I'd been planning for a long long time. I installed a hydraulic disc brake on the back of my Rivendell HubbuHubbuH tandem. I'd been making do with XTR V-brakes, but have had a few situations where I definitely wanted a bit more. Now I have a re

Howdy folks. Selling a few items here. Mostly framesets w/ extras. The Trek was a bike intended for personal use but no go due to sizing. The "bi-plane + bullmoose" frame/fork/bar combos (Sekai Bigfoot & Bianchi proto-Grizzly) are an attempt to help a pal minimize his rather large vintage mount

My loss your gain! I ordered a Large Elwell Chambray shirt, and it's too snug, unwashed. I also bought a pair of Yonder Shorts, Sea Green, size 36, which are too snug. Edgevale won't do an exchange (even offered to pay a restocking charge) so I'm offering both here for $25 each. They really are

Re: [RBW] Best hat for sun protection while walking? -- Not too off-topic

Mine may be considered crush hats but they work for me. I do have a Filson waxed cotton brim hat but it’s too stiff for me so I rarely use it. I have also used Tilley hats quite a bit and do like them a lot but there are other cheaper hats that work as well for half the money. I love OR hats. T

We've discussed hiking or walking shoes, walking as supplementary exercise to cycling, and now --- hats. BTW, more walking, with attention to posture and longer stride, seems to have helped the minor back injury a great deal -- which obviously makes riding more comfortable -- so thanks for that. E
