Re: [RBW] Has anyone shellacked cushioned Newbaum's?

Many years ago I did this and it worked fine. Can't easily access a photo for you. The shellacking doesn't stay that super hard sandpapery feel as long but the colour holds and it still maintains its protective abilities. On Wednesday, 10 March 2021 at 06:46:01 UTC+8 Sam Perez wrote: > I was ju

Re: [RBW] What is the seller's safety with PayPal and other payments.

I've had several successful bikes and parts buys-and-sells on Craigslist (and here!) and typically use Paypal, Venmo, or cash. But definitely beware. Someone in NYC recently was selling a Crust Romanceur complete bike and had it stolen by a prospective buyer who took it for a "test ride" and ne

[RBW] ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

In the tradition of always having the wrong wheelsets around, I ask you all to forgive me for failing to notice that I would need a 650b wheelset when moving from a 59 clem to a 52. Possible trade for one of my 700c wheelsets (rich built, deore xt/lx/velocity variety). Didn't I just have sev

[RBW] Re: ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

Hi Brendan, Am I correct in assuming that we’re talking 135mm OLN rear in all cases? Are yours 32 hole or 36? Do you want 32 or 36? What are the spoke types used in your wheel set(s)? Thanks, David (jes thinking... if I should get a Platypus...) Lipsky Berkeley, CA On Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at

[RBW] Re: ISO/WTB/WTT 650b rim brake wheelset

ISO: Correct, 100/135 for a Clem. 32 or 36 would be fine. Preferably wide rims. Mine: LX to Synergy are 32h deore/DH-3n72 to DYAD are 36h Rich build, so I'm guessing DT Swiss double-butted spokes (silver) 14/15/14g On Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at 11:58:24 AM UTC-8 Hetchins52 wrote: > Hi Brendan

Tough to beat that price for a useful wheel set. I just had a lighter set built at Universal Cycles with 32 hole A23 rims and 105 hubs for double that, and I thought that was still decent for nice wheels. On Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at 1:47:11 PM UTC-6 tmp1...@gmail.com wrote: > > velomine has

Thanks, David; at least the ORs are the right width. And as for your delayed test ride, I'll probably procrastinate doing anything about this bike, since I'm having too much fun on the Monocog (and the other Matthews). On Wed, Mar 10, 2021 at 6:12 PM David Person wrote: > Patrick wrote - "I'll b

Yeah you got troubles. The stem mount is designed for Silver1 (or Suntour Sprint) dt levers, and Shimano 105, 600, Dura-Ace, et al, might work too. Silver2 is a tougher call because they have a larger barrel than Silver1, your best bet is to stick with the originals me-thinks. On Wednesday,
