[RBW] Re: WTB: non-disc Phil rear cassette hub 135mm for Bombadil

FWIW, I'm not sure of too many bike part makers who service/supply parts for things that they sold 12+ years ago. A number of years ago I had a tandem wheel with one of White's early Daisy hubs that had an issue -- no dice in getting parts. Small makers, evolving designs, and time all make

I have a Clem L 52cm and a Susie 56cm and I agree that the Susie would be more than capable of standing in for the Clem. It would also allow for a slightly wider tire. The reason I didn't suggest it was that the Susie is 2x the cost of a Clem. This is what makes the Clem so great, a lifetime

FWIW, I have an 87pbh and I happily ride a 58cm Quickbeam. The stem is a Nitto Technomic that is raised pretty high, but I really like the bike. I also ride a 60cm Ram. Best regards, Matt on Oswego, IL On Friday, January 15, 2021 at 11:04:10 AM UTC-6 brettjc...@gmail.com wrote: >

Great bike. I sent a PM, but I know sometimes those don't come through. I'm interested but think this might be a size small for me. Can you tell us what your PBH is, and the saddle height in your photos? Cheers, Brett -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

kickstandholeplugmonkey - where can I find one - TAKE MY MONEY! My double Pletscher has one of the Pletscher-specific rubber top plates. Where it contacts the bottom of the frame I used a folded-over (2-layer) piece innertube. I'll let you know how it turns out when I remove it (haven't

Thanks again to all for input and replies. And thanks to Dave S for recommending the frame-specific kickstand plates. Got a pair, they work great. Part of the trouble with the existing plate (installed by previous owner or their mechanic) is that it was a modified Pletscher plate. Had to be

You'd be buying obsolescence. I have one of these hubs, with about a dozen years of use on it, and when I tried to get some replacement pawls for it from Phil recently, as the pawls are starting to lose engagement every so often and jump, the response was that they don't have the pawls for
