[RBW] Re: Expert level bike commuting strategies?

Lots of good advice here. On the head space front, I have a couple positive thoughts that I keep bouncing around - cycle commutes are the only time I get paid to ride my bike. The $$ saved over other commuting modes means cycling isn't just an expensive hobby. I also consider the exercise of my

[RBW] WTB - 135 hub

Hi All, Looking for the last piece of my Appo build. Does anyone have a nice, used, silver, 135 hub for sale? Thanks! Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

Re: [RBW] Rapid Rise Resurrection

Happy to report that this guy works quite well on a 11spd. For the time being, I swapped out the jockey wheels from my 105 derailleur and on the stand it works great. We'll see once I put wheels to dirt/pavement. This guy (an RD-M951) came with one jockey wheel (the guide (top) wheel) which was

Re: [RBW] Craigslist, etc 2023

That poor Hunq looks like it got overclamped in a repair stand. Clamp the seatpost, people! The price is optimistic with the damage and visible rust but it probably rides fine. There's no 54cm Hunqapillar with 26-inch wheels, I'm not sure what size this frame is. Joe Bernard On Monday,

Re: [RBW] WTB: basket bag for wald 137

The Wald bags aren't bad and relatively cheap at $41. I've had one for a couple of years now. It lives outdoors a lot and the color has faded but it seems to be holding up well. I'm not real hard on it. Waldsports bag George in NoCal On Sunday, October 29, 2023 at

Hello, Two things for sale: One olive color Medium Saddlesack - the old style without the dowel. I bought this used off the list a couple years ago but only used it once myself. Used a little previously - mostly the wear is to the leather pad on the bottom of the bag. I’m just not really a

Thank you for this PSA. I was on the list, but I had changed my phone number and email address since, so I did not get the notice. I was able to purchase 2 of the flat style, which is what I wanted. The grooved style was already sold out. Now they are all sold out, probably should have bought 4

Re: [RBW] Bluelug Visit to Rivendell (Video)

Pump peg for the Charlie HG should be in the front. That is the perfect place to gouge a hole in one's shoulder. But, I guess a pump would not wedge tight in the obtuse angle of the top tube/seat tube lug. Better to place it on the seat stay. Mike SLO CA On Monday, October 30, 2023 at 7:02:48

Re: [RBW] Bluelug Visit to Rivendell (Video)

I'm very confused by the Gallop now. They took what was a road frame on the lower price scale for RIvendell (the Roadini) and are going to replace it with a higher priced lugged road bike? Even though they already have the Homer that could fit that category well? It was originally designed to

Re: [RBW] Bluelug Visit to Rivendell (Video)

Roman was fascinating to watch, he communicated with his hands in a way that (I think) signifies he knows ASL. I love that Spencer's only Riv is the original Road he got in '95. If you've ever seen it you know it's the most beausaged Rivendell in existence, it's practically a work of art! I
