[RBW] Re: More Sams less Scams

I bought my Sam in 2009 and now it's not my oldest bike, but it is the bike in my possession that I have possessed for the longest time. That bike is also responsible for a large conversion of my general attitude and approach to cycling and bicycles. Sam made me a grown-up. :) It lives in

Good to hear I'm not the only one! So, does your slightly-snipped dust cap rotate with the hub, or stay still? On Friday, June 14, 2024 at 9:39:57 AM UTC-4 J Imler wrote: > I have experienced this also. I snipped a minuscule amount of rubber off > the cap and have had no further issue for years

Re: [RBW] Re: First ride on Clem

Hi Joe. On a very recent Sub24 outing it was amazing how many comments I got (on my Clem) regarding how comfortable & relaxed I appeared to be. One rider who I had done similar rides with before exclaimed that my riding always looked so effortless. And that’s exactly how it feels, even during hard

Ryan - good research! My pbh is 83 and the 55 is perfect for me so I would guess a 53 would be great for her 81. Joe - you are right. Good thinking. I don't love the albastache although I think on some bike, someday, it will be the right bar. I think drop bars with brifters are the easiest ent

I have a 79 PBH and a 53 cm Roadeo, which has a fairly low seatpost, so 81 PBH should work great. In fact, I wish I had more clearance between my seat and the tire below, so a couple extra cm of would be great for not worrying about the saddlebag rubbing the tire. Pictures of my Roadeo setup (10
