Re: [RBW] How often do you clean your bike after dry dirt road rides?

I commuted off-road on a Pugsley in those conditions here in dry SoCal for years and really did little maintenance other than lube the chain regularly. I think I changed cogs, chain and the large chainring at about 4,000 miles but that was about it. This was a 2x10 drivetrain. I don’t think

[RBW] Blahg: vise grip salvation

I'm reading the current Blahg, and Grant starts out with vise grips, and I immediately remembered the last time (and there were many earlier instances, tho' this last one was more urgent) that VG's saved the bacon. This last ime was about 15 or 18 months ago when I decided to remove the allen

[RBW] How often do you clean your bike after dry dirt road rides?

I'm curious about others' dirt road/trail bike maintenance routines. I'm moderately conscientious about drivetrain upkeep, and generally wash and re-lube shortly after the chain gets noisy. For road, this may be 200 to 400 miles depending on routes, but on our very powdery, river-silt bosque soil

[RBW] WTT : My Choco bar for your Wavie bar

Hi all- Last fall I installed a Choco on my AHH. And while it's a solid bar, I prefer more of a 40–45 degree sweep to the Choco/Albatross sweep. Anyone with a Wavie bar feel the opposite? PM me if interested... Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

At the Framebuilders show in Denver, Ron had his workbench and was making cages. He had the biggest crowd watching of any booth at the show. Steve On Fri, May 6, 2022 at 3:47 PM Peter Adler wrote: > As soon as Lucky Duck Bicycle Cafe in > Oakland Chinatown

[RBW] Re: King Cage Video - How it's Made

As soon as Lucky Duck Bicycle Cafe in Oakland Chinatown reopened for foot traffic during a COVID lull, I hustled in and bought three King cages for my Trek 720. I knew they'd need any sales they could get, having been closed for everything but repairs for

Goldilocks problems with my Goldback. Absolutely LOVE this bag and own two. My first one is solid rust, and when I added a second one, this was the closest match I could get. It's a tri-colore with a yellow flap, rust side pockets, and tan underbelly. It's in immaculate shape and has only

I think the Cliffhanger is about the only option for these things. I have a set of Teravail Ehline 2.5” mounted to mine ready to add tubeless sealant. Just a note, bot front and rear held air for over a week before starting to lose pressure without sealant. Very good sign I’d say. I believe I

I ordered a lowering cage for my Saluki as I needed a bit more clearance from the TT. For some reason it did not sit straight and the bottle hit my leg. I called and Ron was very helpful explaining he had a few like this and how I could fix it. 2 minutes or less in a vice and a large

The Hive mind here is real. I was thinking the T-rack would be perfect on the Susie since it isn't supposed to carry much weight. I thought a t-rack on the front fork (the strongest part) would be the safest way to have a basket and some manythings cages for a lightweight/overnighter/explore
