[RBW] Does B68 mitigate perineal pressure better than B17?

Hi - does the B68 mitigate perineal pressure noticeably better than a standard B17? B17 fit like a glove but it put too much pressure on my soft tissue area... I tried B17 Imperial too - the cutout did its job but I didn't like resulting feel of the saddle. FWIW - I rode with a Berthroud Asp

Good input. Y'all are confirming my fears here. I am more emotionally attached to it than i've been willing to admit and that doesn't really translate financially. Time to sell the dyno wheel and bag separately and try to get $1800 for the discontinued H. Thanks for the feedback On Thursday, A

I think that's attached in enough places to hold more of a load. It's steel. Those rails are clearly meant to mount panniers. I'd go for it and not look back (says the man who carried his entire family's possessions on a Tara and an aluminum Racktime rear - I was clearly over the load limit

As a fellow 52cm Clem H owner I'll chime in. The price does seem high, perhaps a couple hundred too steep. The bag, dyno & tune up combo is nice but might be what is keeping the price up there. The Clem H won't be made again (most certainly) but I don't think its that special to make people see

Following up on my experience with the Riv saddle... I have a couple hundred more miles on it, with the longest ride about 25 miles. No soreness for me. I really like it. The wider saddle horn doesn't bother me anymore. Humans are adaptable I guess. I briefly swapped it out for my old Ergon saddle

John, thanks for the photos. It appears you are not concerned about placing the arms of the rack at the minimum height than 1UP deems "safe"? Unless I'm mistaken, they argue that where the arms grab the tire/fender should be at least at axle level, better above axle level, for properly securin

Re: [RBW] Re: Feedback / rack issue

That JB Weld is amazing stuff. Based on my experience with it, I'd even suggest that if you fill the void with JB - smoothing the surface of it so it blends in well cosmetically - the effected section of the rack will be stronger than it was originally. On Thursday, August 1, 2024 at 11:54:50

Awesome Definitely use JB Weld or something equivalent to attach it, for structural strength. The rest is just cosmetic. Good luck. On Thursday, August 1, 2024 at 9:31:35 AM UTC-6 fmri...@gmail.com wrote: > This is perfect - I have scraps from my strut cut. > > Franco Rinaldi > c: 646.403.

I think you should decide what price you're willing to sell it for, and stay firm and true to yourself. I have the same bike, in 59. I got rid of it once, regretted it terribly, and was lucky to get it back. There are multiple ways you can build this and your Atlantis differrntly, to feel dis
