Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 2001 Riv Custom $2100

I have a similar affinity towards my 6” steel rule. It’s metric on one side and imperial on the other. It is my most reached for tool by a long shot. Since I don’t own a vernier caliper I poor boy it by using an adjustable wrench to get the diameter of a tube or rod and then measure the opening

[RBW] Re: Romulus replacement brake pads

LOL! I'm high! Good eye there Bill. The ones that are on there right now stop fairly well in the rain, but not what I would call great. I was hoping for great. Maybe I'll try sanding these down a little bit and see if they get any better results before I put a new pair on. Thanks for the heads

Totally understandable, Max! I misunderstood your previous post about interest for the wheels, racks, etc.and thought you had decided to part it out. It’s totally okay to want to sell the bike as a complete. Eamon Seattle On Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 10:39:40 AM UTC-7 maxcr wrote: > Hi Ea

It doesn't. The 700C models might but this one is 135 in the rear. Also this is a prototype so they might make some changes. On Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 6:51:06 PM UTC-4 Kushan wrote: > I am curious if it has a 130mm rear hub spacing like other RBW Road > bikes.. Looking forward to see

In the photos you already have kool stop brake pads. just seek out some Dura 2 inserts. Here's your pizza menu of formulas: Kool Stop International - High Performance Bicycle Brake Pads Since 1977 The full-salmon ones are probably the most popular.

Hi Eamon, I've had a few direct inquires about this. Tbh, I want to give it at least another week to see if anyone is interested in the whole bike. I know it's an expensive build, but it's an awesome bike and I would hate to take it apart. Also, I don't have the tools, knowledge or time to redu
