Wondering if anyone has a set they are not enamored with. Prefer the 65cm version with 31.8 clamp. Also would like to find a 4 bolt faceplate stem to go with. Also would consider a billie bar Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bun

Just to add on about the rackless front bag and using Paul center pulls I also had my Roadini set up with Paul's and I swapped over to VO grand cru brakes and haven't looked back. With the clearances on my edition of the roadini (I bought the frame from riv in 2018 I think) it's going to be

Re: [RBW] Roadini or Homer

I have a Roadeo and a Homer. I ride the Roadeo for fair weather 1 day rides, but used my Homer for multi-day events set up as shown below. Of course, the Homer wouldn't be a Roadeo when stripped to its lightest, but then again, it has rack mounts and fits wider tires, so it has tangible benefits

[RBW] Do you use a torque wrench? Or are they a

Just found my 2nd torque wrench has died, after less than ten uses, after being properly stored, in a dry place, in its box, with the tension relaxed. I started putting my Effetto Mariposa through the warm up calibration, and no clicks at 16Nm nor 3 Nm nor any Nm setting. I wanted to inst

REI will take anything back at virtually anytime. The biggest constraint in my experience is your moral compass. I’ve used the same Husky torque wrench for decades with success, but I really only use it on automobiles. I sometimes use the Ritchey torque key for things like stems. It’s easy an

I use a torque wrench on critical parts like stems ,handlebars , Disc brake rotors & seat post bolts Snap- On. Or Mac tools have good, calibrated torque wrenches. I found out the hard way you get what you pay for. On Fri, Sep 24, 2021, 2:22 PM 'John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunc

Get an low technology beam style torque wrench with the graduated scale instead of a click style or electronic torque wrench - less to go wrong. Kind of like using friction shifters instead of index or electronic. Laing On Friday, September 24, 2021 at 4:22:24 PM UTC-4 John Phillips wrote: >

Thank you for all your responses, and thank you George for the reminding me of that earlier thread. I read the whole thread more carefully this time. So I pulled out a short torx head wrench and felt much more in control relying on my fingers to feel my way. I'm just going to stick with my pink

[RBW] Re: Do you use a torque wrench? Or are they a

Torque wrenches are not necessary John. While they "may" be useful if you've never tightened a bolt in your life, they can also lead one right over a cliff if you trust "the numbers" without question. While number in themselves cannot lie, neither can they offer the truth. People's opinions abo

John, I've used a Park Tool TW-5.x torque wrench for several years now, since 2016 or so (knock wood). IME what you've experienced is not at all normal. I'm sure you are aware, but Park has an unofficial guarantee. If you kindly tell them that a Park Tool tool you own just isn't up to snuff
