[RBW] Biking from Foster City to?..

Bay Area Rivsters, This week I'm visiting some folks in Foster City, CA and will have an all-road bike at my disposal there. I'll also be visiting people in Cupertino and will have another all-road bike available there. Yay! Now, I used to live in the Bay Area like 25 years ago, biked around

[RBW] Re: How Many Bars on the Appaloosa?

I thought the reach wasn’t too bad when I ran drops, but I had them set up on a 50mm and then 30mm stem and had them up pretty high. You can see the drops with yellow tape in my first post. I changed them out because I got into an accident the broke my hand and wanted a new set up with differe

Re: [RBW] Re: Piriformis - Help!

The full diagnosis is that the Piriformis inflammation is putting pressure on the Scatica which would also cause very similar symptoms to those you describe with the IT band plus extending all the way to the front ankle which mine does. My calf hurting is actually the 1st indicator I have of wh

Re: [RBW] Re: Piriformis - Help!

After reading all of these replies (along with your original post) I'm strongly suspecting at least an IT band problem, especially if she's recommending that you stay off the bike for a while, but you can still run without problems. I had similar issues ~40 years ago and discovered that, thoug

Re: [RBW] Re: Piriformis - Help!

Well the doc reviewed my MRI and says stay off the bike for awhile until things clear up. Not good, but it makes sense & I trust her as she's a sports doc not just a GP. Luckily I can still run but being off the bike for an undetermined period of time is a big hit to the physical & mental well

[RBW] Re: How Many Bars on the Appaloosa?

These are some really, really nice Appaloosa setups. Erik, I really love the look of those Jones bars on yours in the photo from earlier in the thread! And Ken, that's one of the nicest, most practical Appaloosa builds I've seen yet. So much inspiration! -Brian On Monday, August 8, 2022 at 2:2

Re: [RBW] Re: Jobst Brandt photo archive on instagram

Hi Eric, You're welcome. Under biking to be sure but ride what you've got! For me, the pictures of the rides he did in the Alps as well as the Sierras carrying only a Carradice bag are the essence of light touring; all the better for those big climbs. Best, Rich in ATL On Monday, August 8, 2

I rode the Peninsula Fall Challenge a few years ago. The entire route was fairly light on traffic with the exception of a stretch on highway 42. Overall if you avoid highways 57 and 42 you should be in good shape. Bay Shore Drive in particular is a lovely road. These routes might provide some insp

If anyone happens to have a ø26.8mm Nitto S83 they aren't using and would like to sell, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. As long as it is in working order, I'm not terribly concerned with cosmetics. 250 or 300mm length. I realize Riv has them in stock currently, but thought I would ask
