[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Appaloosa?

I ran the Mark's rack on the Appaloosa with four stays (the rear stays mounted on the top of the fork), no diving board, wide canti brakes (Tektro CR 720), and a regular Wald. (Not sure if the Mark's will work with a V-brake in that configuration.) For extra hauling, I would tack on a Nitto

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Appaloosa?

On my Appaloosa I've had a Mark's rack and the Nitto big front rack. The Mark's rack which is similar to the 32F is a good rack. Light but the weight limit is on the lower end. I use a Wald basket and tend to load it up when camping. I didn't like the Nitto Big Front rack. In fact, I took it

[RBW] Best front rack for Appaloosa?

Looking for feedback on what front racks people are using or have used on their Appaloosa. I am leaning towards a 32F for two reasons; I like that I can throw on a big Wald basket and I don't have to worry about overloading it, plus I can attach a dynamo light to the front and lessen my wheel

Hello friends Following my heart to a Hunquapillar, so my Susie needs to find a new home. Purchased from Rivendell in January 2021 and has less than 200 miles on it. Frame is in awesome shape, has had racks installed so chaffing of paint on some braze ons, and a small nick near rear dropout on

Re: [RBW] brompton in airports and airlines

Bo, This depends so much on the airline and the staff. That said, I have more than once seen a brompton stashed in the overhead bin, no bag or anything. I would stash mine in a tyvek bag. As long as it fits the size requirements for carry on it should be alright. Jason > On Jul 14, 2021,

[RBW] Re: VO shifters to replace broken Suntour M90 thumb shifter?

Thanks for the suggestions Michael. VO vs. Paul - I can make the difference of $30 for a Sunrace thumbie vs. 2 VO shifter mounts for $70. But $68 for a single Paul shifter mount is too steep for my commuter Cheviot. The VO seems to be a sweet spot in the middle of the price range and nice

[RBW] Re: VO shifters to replace broken Suntour M90 thumb shifter?

I haven't tried it myself but I believe the Velo Orange shifters look like they would work. If you are using a Microshift lever, I would get a Microshift thumbie from Paul though: https://www.paulcomp.com/shop/components/drivetrain/shifting/microshift-thumbies/ Also, if you are doing friction

My, oh my! I just thrill at seeing new Platypodes appearing on my screen. Good for you, Joyce; it has been a long, long wait, but you have arrived! We have the same two bikes now, and I think you’ll find pleasure in both. But the Platy is special; when I ride it I feel like Grant made it for
