[RBW] Re: FS: SimpleOne 58cm

Not my size and too many bikes including a 70's SS PX-10 with moustache bars...and the non-trials WI freewheel on 36-hole late 70's Campy Record hubs, which I love, ratty as it is. But...what a sweet bike! Love the build; you sure put a lot of thought into it. I sense a bit of seller's remorse.

[RBW] FS(Bay Area): 58? Quickbeam

Hey all. With regret, I'm selling my Quickbeam. Unfortunately living in a studio doesn't accommodate owning 4+ bikes and the Quickbeam didn't make the cut. I'm heading up to SF on March 5th for a birthday roadtrip to Oregon and will be there for the weekend if you would like to check it out. I

Moving the shifter shouldn't be a problem, I suspect you simply don't have quite what you need to index-shift that low-normal mech. Joe Bernard On Monday, February 28, 2022 at 1:56:33 PM UTC-8 rmro...@gmail.com wrote: > Interesting. Will moving the shifter location on the handlebar generally

Interesting. Will moving the shifter location on the handlebar generally require a cable adjustment? I’ve been playing quite a bit with where I want those shifters. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 28, 2022, at 8:37 AM, James Valiensi wrote: > > Hi, > As a matter of fact, derailleur cables do no

[RBW] FS: SimpleOne 58cm

This one hurts. I know I'm gonna regret selling this bike...but I'm not riding it too much lately and just converted my Hillborne to a 2 speed with a Paul Melvin...and need to continue to shed a few bikes. I bought this as a frameset from Rivendell when they were released, back in 2012 or so. I

Friends! The Roscoe Bubbe baby bike has been great to me the past year, doing lots of park and school drop off duties plus weekend runs for pancakes. I’m still looking for a Clem Smith Jr L in mustard for when it’s time to pass the baby bike along to another parent. I’m also interested in a

Thanks all, Yes, the shifters do friction and that's how it's being used now. Seems to hold the gears fine in friction. Follow up question. Is ALL shimano 9 speed the same? Road/MTN? Thinking I may just pick up a 9 speed altus if the tinkering doesnt pan out. On Monday, February 28, 2022 at 5

[RBW] Re: What size fenders on your Platy?

I have the Velo Orange fenders on my Platy also: 700c Zeppelin Fenders, 52mm - Silver. They look great and are essential in the rainy PNW. My vision for the build was to keep it light, thus I'm using narrower tires than on my Clem. I have the super wide B65 SKS fenders on Clem and they've b

Hi, Brynnar. I have a set of Ron's Bars that I'm not going to use (switched over to Choco-moose on my Hunqapillar). Like-new shape, maybe some marks from clamping, but otherwise perfect. Centering looks good on them too - the edge of the blue tape in the photos is the center. I'd sell them

Decided to switch things up on my Hunq - the Ron's bar is cool, but didn't have the additional forward hand position I needed. Decided to switch over to the Choco-moose (thanks, Kai!) and it's definitely a better fit for me. A little more width on the back would be nice, probably noticing it m

I always apply in very light coats. I end up using 6 or so coats. Like you I cover the front of the bike. I use plastic drop cloths and lasting tape. Alcohol, denatured Alcohol can take the shellac off of the places you do not want it. On Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 5:23:28 PM UTC-5 JohnS

Re: [RBW] Indexing Rapid Rise Questions

Hi, As a matter of fact, derailleur cables do not stretch. The forces involved in shifting are many orders of magnitude lower than the yield stress required to stretch the cable. What actually happens is that inside liner of the cable housing wears and causes the cable to become looser. Generall

Re: [RBW] Indexing Rapid Rise Questions

Drew, These shifters have a friction mode, yes ? If they shift and hold all the gears in friction, but not with indexing it would either be wonky shifters or they are very sensitive to tension. The LX RR has a cable tensioner yes ? Play around with it slightly as you're shifting and see where
