Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

Hey Dominic, I think I saw that Hillborne a few months back at the Kamiuma Blue Lug. A very lovely bike. I'm in Yokohama, so perhaps I could join up on one of those Tokyo Riv rides one of these days. Cheers, John On Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at 10:27:56 AM UTC+9 domjona...@gmail.com wrote: >

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

@Nathen I think I lucked out. I picked up this one at Blue Lug in Tokyo. It had a small bit of damage (just paintwork) so I'm guessing that's why no one picked it up. I think the sage model is quite a few years old now so it must of been there a while! On Mon, 19 Apr 2021, 01:36 Nathan F,

[RBW] Pass and Stow recommendation

I am feeling ready to spend on a nice front rack for my Appaloosa. I was going to get the Pass and Stow and and am wondering if anyone has experience with either the 3 rail or the 5 rail option. I was leaning towards the 5 rail option because it would better support a basket. I'm wondering

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB/ISO: Nitto Rack Nut & Bolt (daruma)

I actually sourced one thanks to a clever recommendation from Jason S. The Nitto lamp mount/lamp holder comes with one of the daruma compression nut-bolts. The lamp mount is $22 from Analog Cycles , so $7 more than the

[RBW] Re: What draws you to a single speed bike?

Roberta, I'd ridden SS / Fixed off and on just for the heck of it in past years – initially as a way to get a rideable bike out of a dumpster bike that had a busted derailer... Then in grad school, 'cos I wanted to tool around NYC all cool-like, as the messengers... "NOBR...AKES" Anyhow,

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

Forgot: I do like climbing in a higher gear, and you often do that with a ss bike, but then you can do this with a multispeed bike too, so it is only the removal of the temptation to downshift that is a side benefit of ss/fixed. On Mon, Apr 19, 2021 at 1:44 PM Patrick Moore wrote: > I ride

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

I ride fixed a lot, but I recently built a single speed mountain bike (Monocog) and it has some of the qualities I like in riding fixed: Interesting: I like the challenge (psychological) and difficulty (physiological) of adapting to different conditions by changing my pedaling style and "planning

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

Jay, funny about your freewheel. I think the one on my Steamroller is the opposite. Hasn't been used since the day I rode it home because the shop didn't have an 1/8 fixed cog in stock at the time. It's fully seized up and will not spin free at this point. Last time I had it in a shop I asked

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

Years ago when I was living in Wisconsin I trashed a nice bike (an XO-1 actually) by riding it my first winter there. (Well the frame was OK but the drivetrain was a total loss from exposure to road salt.) So I bought a 70’s vintage no-name frame from Goodwill and built it up as a singlespeed

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

Hey Roberta, I'm also in Philly and popped a ss/fixed gear into my rotation in February 2020. I've dabbled in fixed gear riding twice before this over the past 10 years, so for me I think a piece of it is nostalgia. I agree with what folks are saying about the simplicity of having one gear. I

[RBW] Re: What draws you to a single speed bike?

I've found single speeding to-be less stressful (assuming appropriate terrain). It sounds puzzling, but for me when single speeding there's less to do: just pedal (stronger or weaker... just go). I do like the challenge of turning a high gear for an uphill (occasionally). The simplicity of

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

Central Ohio, where I ride, is mostly flattish, so riding single speed adds some challenge to my rides. And I like to ride fixed gear, which IS different than just riding a geared bike in one gear. Eric On Sunday, April 18, 2021, Roberta wrote: > I am truly curious. How is it different than

Back when I rode mountain bikes more than I do now I loved to ride a single speed...actually, a fully rigid single speed. I have a Niner Sir9 setup single speed with the RDO fork they offer. Great light mtb. It's lot of fun and while technically "harder" there is just something about the
