Paul, if you have access to an air compressor you can pretty much blow those grips off by slipping a tapered narrow tipped adapter under the forward edge of the grip and giving it a blast. Use your free hand to help coax it off . Alternately, I've had. good luck with injecting jelled alcoh

Paul Nice build, really looks just right, and great color on the frame! I wonder if RBW will ever do a color like that on a Clem? Your 59cm frame fit is about equivalent to my 64cm Clem sizing. It works! If you can withstand the hassle of removing one of the silicone grips, the faceplates st

I’m running a 1x9 on my Jones SWB and it is perfect! Friction shifter with GX Eagle derailleur and 11-50 cassette. It gives me the space I needed to keep the chain clear of my 3.25” Duro Crux. On Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at 6:06:00 PM UTC-7 wboe...@gmail.com wrote: > Unfortunately a 2x11 to 2x9

Re: [RBW] Nine is fine! 1x9 drivetrains in 2024. Who else is doing it?

Unfortunately a 2x11 to 2x9 conversion would mean replacing brifters, rear derailleur and cassette. Though if you want friction, you could keep the RD. Shifting could be barcons or Gevenalle levers. Will On Tue, Aug 6, 2024 at 5:26 PM Fred Marsh wrote

Re: [RBW] Nine is fine! 1x9 drivetrains in 2024. Who else is doing it?

Have you tried Shimano 9spd indexed barcon shifters? I have used them for years, and they work great. Nice little cu-chunk when it shifts and it doesn't miss a shift. They have a friction option too. You would have to get new levers, shifters, rear derailleurs and chain. You could also go with

Morning all - does anyone have a 650b Susie or Clem that's been built up around 26" wheels? My assumption is that the lower bottom bracket might make the ride slightly "weird" but curious if that was the case or if there were any other notable issues with it. I've got a great 26" wheelset I'd l

Re: [RBW] Re: Let’s talk: 1 Up USA, Quickr Racks

I'd recommend at least 20" Voile straps. metal or nylon buckle, they both are great. The nice thing about Voile straps over woven straps or bungees is that slight bit of stretch that they have. It's not too much (like a bungee), but just the right amount to get a tight grip and lock into the tab on

Re: [RBW] Re: Let’s talk: 1 Up USA, Quickr Racks

Ditto what John said. I've used 20" metal buckle and 15" nylon buckle. Nylon buckle for sure won't mark up anything but i haven't had that problem with the metal ones. Also have used the velcro strap that comes w surly tires. Johns Irish strap or a toe strap would also do the trick just fine.

Re: [RBW] Re: Let’s talk: 1 Up USA, Quickr Racks

SeanMac, I have 20" straps with aluminum buckles. 15" would work, I'm sure, and I don't imagine the nylon buckles would be any less effective. Titan also makes good straps. Cheers, John On Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at 7:20:49 AM UTC-7 SeanMac wrote: > I have a 1up that I use with my Cheviot. I
