[RBW] FS Grilver 52 Clem H

Just posted this on Craigslist. I grabbed it off of CL for $1500 last week hoping it would fit my buddy who's been looking for the perfect bike for a while. I thought this was it, but it was a little too big. Hoping to find a good home for her. Not in a hurry to sell, hoping somebody is

[RBW] Re: Roadini Tires: Anyone running 38s?

Rivendell did state that the 2020 had more clearance. Mine is the 1st generation but will still fit 38mm tires. I meant that I need to instal the tire deflated to get it past the brake shoes even with the caliper open. Also, some orange frames from the 1st batch apparently had the brake bridge

[RBW] Re: Roadini Tires: Anyone running 38s?

I believe the clearance depends on your model year. My Roadini is from the 2020 batch and I can easily fit 38 Shikoros without deflating. I had Jack Browns on there for a short time but will not be going back to them on this bike. Bones On Thursday, June 17, 2021 at 10:11:39 PM UTC-4 Jeff B

[RBW] 700c front wheel in LA

Hello all Visiting family in LA until Saturday and I'm still looking for a front wheel for my Simpleone project. Do you have an extra silver 700c wheel collecting dust in the Los Angeles area? If so, I'm interested. Message me off site and lets talk! Jared -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Question for people who have ridden Compass/Rene Hearse tires

Using the Ideal Tire Pressure spreadsheet (based upon the chart linked from the RH website) and assuming 30 lb bike for a total of 410 lb and 45%/55% front rear weight distribution - it comes up with 47 psi front / 57 psi rear for 55mm wide and 48 psi front / 58 psi rear for 54mm wide. The

[RBW] Re: Question for people who have ridden Compass/Rene Hearse tires

Chris, Here's what I've noticed but first a little background. I have run Compass tires 42mm but have yet to run Rene Herse tires. I do have Panaracer Gravelkings in 48mm. I believe Rene Herse uses the Panaracer manufacturing to make their tires. I think that's what I have read but hey maybe

OMG Leah . Go for ride around the neighbourhood like that. If someone asks if you got a new bike, reply "yeah, it's my new pool noodle bike I made in my spare time. It looks great doesn't it ?" Oh the reaction would be priceless ! On Thursday, June 17, 2021 at 1:24:17 PM UTC-4 Bicycle

Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

Doug, I settled on the Soma Supple Vitesse EX as I'm unable to find the Shikoros in the width I want (48mm) I could've gotten the folding bead Everwear in 48 but I'm a sucker for brown sidewalls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm skeptical of their durability, but having commuted on and gone on a loaded tour with

Okay okay, you guys told me what I wanted to hear. A Kasai FS hub and my big ol' squishy tires will be showing up tomorrow. I might swing for a SON someday, but this little guy should be more than sufficient for my "needs" Looking like I'll be able to ride it home from work on Sunday! You

Hi, A bunch of tools for sale. Many are barely or never used. Those that are used more are tools, of course, and still perform their job just as well as when they were new. Pictures of all of them can be found here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iXqKjiJ3R1cj6erj7 Questions quickly answered, and

Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

I got the Mermaid as well (60 cm). Wheels was the biggest decision for me as well. I was torn between the stock Cliffhangers vs. these bargain dynamo dyads . In the end, played it safe and

Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

I honestly can't imagine choosing to build a front wheel that is not dynamo. Even my old folding bike has dynamo now haha - it's the best!! On Wed, Jun 16, 2021 at 11:04 PM Addison Quarles wrote: > Kushan, I made off with a 54cm Mermaid and will be building it as a long > distance, mostly paved

Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

Kushan, I made off with a 54cm Mermaid and will be building it as a long distance, mostly paved touring rig. It’ll have big puffy tires, a heaving saddle bag, a legendary range of gears, and am trying to talk myself into or out of dynamo lighting. Built the rear wheel tonight, will have the front
