I've got Albatross, Billies and 48cm Noodles currently installed on three bikes. Love them all, I do see the Billie as an improvement over the Albatross and love the forward grip position which I used quite a lot. I wouldn't mind a wider Noodle. Will mentioned a prototype 54cm Noodle in an

Looks like a rad setup, I'd be eager to try someone else's albastache rig before taking the plunge. What do you think of the Velo Orange skewers? I've been eying a set myself. On Monday, October 4, 2021 at 7:21:57 PM UTC-4 Johnny Alien wrote: > Albastache. Seriously. I have tried the Nitto

You highlight the problem with the suggested solution and also point to other photo problems. Yeah, you can post downsampled and resized photos easily. But that's an added step some users can't swing! You'd think all-powerful google would build a solution into Groups. Nope. Sometimes photos

Hi all -- I'm relatively new in these parts but I do love and appreciate the community, information, gear swaps and laughs of the RBW Owners Bunch. But, man, Google Groups is awful. I'm a member of a few other forums that use phpBB which is, to my mind, real nice and

[RBW] Re: Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

Well, people. I swapped the pedals for a spare set of Lambda Grip Kings and I had the same click. Right pedal, dull click at three o'clock. More noticeable at lower speeds, seems to disappear if I'm pedaling real hard. On Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 3:09:37 PM UTC-4 E. Ricky Creek wrote:

[RBW] Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

I just installed a pair of MKS bear trap pedals and have put about 150 miles on them. The right pedal just started clicking. I can feel a dull click when the pedal gets to the three o'clock position. Any ideas for remedies? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Doug — Per the article, when called the police offer little help. When stolen bikes are reported the police do not follow up. The police do not seem to recognize the cost of the bikes ($2,000 -- $3,000) or, more importantly, the importance of the bikes to the delivery people as a way to make a
