Greetings and Salutations - I realize this is kind of a longshot. And please excuse the cross post on the BOB group. Over a year ago, my Rivendell Custom was stolen. It had Chris King Classic hubs with the stainless steel driveshell upgrade. I recently came into a set of Chris King Classic hub

Kevin, It honestly does sound like you might not be getting on with the frame, or that it isn't going to do what you want it to. I certainly wouldn't want a drop bar on an Appaloosa. They are way too long. I am also at the point in my life where I don't get on with drop bars much at all. So my

I have ridden a tapped helicoiled crank for 8+ years with no issues. As others have said, if it was done properly there is no issue. Sounds like bike shop dude wanted to sell a new crank! :P -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. T

While I understand that some folks would use this as a reason to buy new cranks - note your advisor said "if it was me" - I think you're good to go with the repair. Basically it's metal inserted into metal and there's no reason to believe it'll un-insert itself; keep and eye on it, listen for c

Most likely, they either ran a pedal tap through it to repair the threads or installed a helicoil. If they did the former, it’s hard to say what the resulting threads are like. If they did the latter, and installed it properly, you should be fine. The helicoil tap is oversized, so you get fr

Hi Leah — For nice cast and enamel pins check out a company like Wizard Pins or search for "custom enamel pins." If you only need a handful the unit price could be quite high, $8 to $12. There's also a longer lead time as these are made in Asia and then shipped to you. https://wizardpins.com/
